 * I am developing a website that was set to HTTP. As an experiment, in Settings/
   General, I changed the 2 url addresses to HTTPS and saved. Now the site won’t
   load. When I enter the url with HTTP, it automatically switches to HTTPS and 
   won’t load. How can I fix this? Thanks.

 * If you’re talking about site in your profile – it works fine. I see no problems
   with loading.
 * For anything else, you can perform rollback with using a backup (Actually you
   should always make a snapshot of your site files and database prior to performing
   any changes).
    or changing url settings back with various methods described here:

 * No, the site is [http://development.katholiekalmere.nl](http://development.katholiekalmere.nl)
 * I can’t get to the dashboard to make any changes.

 * if you made the change to URL in the General>Settings area — you can undo the
   changes in the options table of the database (no dashboard access required).

 * Strangely, I can get to an individual page such as [http://development.katholiekalmere.nl/nieuws/](http://development.katholiekalmere.nl/nieuws/).
 * But I can’t login from there.

 * You can edit wp-config.php, if you can’t conveniently access database
