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](https://domain.com/secret-directory/searchreplacedb.php) enter the old path [https://box5237.temp.domains/~raftcapt](https://box5237.temp.domains/~raftcapt) or [https://box5237.temp.domains](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](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.

Most web based file managers and ftp programs do not show hidden files by default. * [vnkwenti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vnkwenti/) * (@vnkwenti) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locked-out-completely-after-installing-easy-https-redirection/#post-11616572) * 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.
