    Help! I am brand new to this and installed HTTPS Redirection plugin, and selected “force redirect”. Now I get a 404 error and cannot use WordPress dashboard at all. My site is up but it has lost all formatting. How can I restore the http:// address and stop forcing re-direct? Thanks! My website is raftcaptain.com

    Yes I am a newbie. I have removed the plugin directly on my Bluehost file editor.

    Thanks for your help!

    Use you file manager one more time and add this to your WP-config.php.

    define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://example.com' );
    define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com' );

    you’ll need to change the ‘https’ to ‘http’ if that’s what it was before and change the URL to the URL it was before.

    Easy fix!

    Hi, I did this but nothing changed…. try going to that URL, it still re-directs to HTTPS. THanks!

    Can you access your HTACCESS file? What’s written there? Anything changed on that?

    Did you try logging in from here?

    https://raftcaptain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fraftcaptain.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

    My browser seems to think you have a cert so https should be right.

    None has ever existed. Should I just start again?

    when you move from domain to domain you have to replace the url of posts, pages, css and js you can do it with a third party script do not change anything manually in the database .. You need to backup all your files and the database then via ftp in the wordpress root create a folder with secret name and install the Interconnectit script then open your browser in https://domain.com/secret-directory/searchreplacedb.php enter the old path https://box5237.temp.domains/~raftcapt or https://box5237.temp.domains depends on whether you configured the sub-folder forwarding pointing to the main domain (so don’t use the first syntax but the second without the ~raftcaptain folder) both URLs must not end with the end slash so enter the new domain https://domain.com (without the end slash) then, after finishing for security reasons, you have to remove the script and if you have created the secret-directory/ you will just have to delete this since the script is inside.

    Here you will find more information for the script but above all for file and database backups, if you don’t know how to make backups please do not proceed.

    .htaccess is a hidden file please be sure you are seeing a full directory listing of all files, including hidden files. Most web based file managers and ftp programs do not show hidden files by default.

    I bought an SSL certificate from Godaddy and I was asked to follow the instructions in the url below to redirect my wordpress site to https. After i did Steps 1-4 , I could no longer access my admin dashboard.
    the url below shows the steps I followed. Has anyone had the same issues?

    it doesn’t matter on the type of certificate but rather if after the correct installation of the certificate your server creates the variable for the wordpress function is_ssl () https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_ssl
    If you don’t use plugins you can go back to the http version in your wp-config.php before require_once.

    define('WP_HOME','http://www.yuordomain.com');
    define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.yourdomain.com');

    without end slash and with the correct domain with or without initial www
