 * Hi there,
 * I tried securing my website using SSL and instructions based off here: [http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/](http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/)
 * I went into the general settings and changed the “http” of the site to “https”.
 * I also a requested a SSL certificate from Namecheap and now wanted to set up 
   the CSR
 * My Domain name is with Godaddy, hosted on WordPress.org.
 * Now when I go to the URL, it redirects me to this site [http://rypatmul1.wixsite.com/mysite-1](http://rypatmul1.wixsite.com/mysite-1)
 * How can I one: fix the current redirect issue and 2. Set up the SSL properly 
   on my site?
    I seem to have lost the site!
 * Help please
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftried-to-create-ssl-and-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I am pretty sure you should have obtained and installed your SSL certificate 
   BEFORE changing your site address and wordpress address.
 * Yes your domain is registered and managed at godaddy, but no one gets hosted 
   at wordpress.org. The nameserver settings probably show hosting is at BLUEHOST,
   does this ring a bell ?
 * Most of your problems will be fixed when you go back to using http, do this by
   adding these lines to your wp-config.php file:
 *     ```
       define('WP_HOME','http://reintention.com');
       define('WP_SITEURL','http://reintention.com');
       ```
   
 * Add these lines just before it says “STOP EDITING”, you should now be able to
   get back into your site.
 * I attempted to go to your site:
    [http://www.reintention.com](http://www.reintention.com)
   and after permitting a security exception TWICE, found myself at: [https://www.rypatmul.com/](https://www.rypatmul.com/)
   and then at WIX !
