# https to localhost

 * Since I’ve passed from http to https I’m not able to restore locally my new backups
   created with the Duplicator plugin.
    After successfull install on localhost without
   error messages/warnings I’m not able to access either backend and frontend. I
   arrive to the Final Steps with no errors/warnings, but when I click the Site 
   Login button the browser is trying to load a https link, not the actual localhost
   link then it stops with an error page. I’m on Wampserver (64bit) and the old 
   http backups can be installed and ran locally without problems.

 * Thank you very much Cory!
 * I’ve tried, but unfortunately in version 1.2.19 it’s the same.
 * I have 0 notices during the install on local machine, but clicking Site Login
   in Final Steps is trying to open [https://localhost&#8230](https://localhost&#8230);
   and then is no way to open any [http://localhost](http://localhost) link, it’s
   always redirected to [https://localhost&#8230](https://localhost&#8230);
 * I’ve submitted a ticket with the logfile and the production website’s URL.

 * Sounds good! Thxs for the update, it maybe something in the wp-config. We’ll 
   check it out and see what the issue might be…

 * Hi Cory,
 * Thank you very much for being so helpful!
 * I found that the problem is caused by the [Really Simple SSL plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/)
   I’m using to run my website on https.
 * Duplicator cannot overwrite its redirects and also installed locally on my computer
   it’s continuing to redirect all [http://localhost](http://localhost).. links 
   to [https://localhost&#8230](https://localhost&#8230);
    If after the local install
   I disable the Really Simple SSL plugin (by renaming its folder) everything works
   perfectly on frontend and backend as well.
 * Probably I’ll uninstall the Really Simple SSL plugin and delegate all redirects
   to https to my .htaccess file. I suppose this will also eliminate completely 
   the isue with Duplicator.
 * Thank you again for the support and for this wonderful plugin!
 * Andras
