Title: Two separate installations on http and https? Last modified: May 28, 2019 --- # Two separate installations on http and https? * Resolved [marketing4fra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marketing4fra/) * (@marketing4fra) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-separate-installations-on-http-and-https/) * Hello Comunity, * Somehow it seems that we currently have two separate installations of WordPress. The correct site is available via https. We are are editing and updating everything on this domain. * We just have seen that, if you visit the page with just http (without www.) you get to a comming soon page. We set this page up while we create the website in october last year. The WordPress version seems to be 4.9.8 and the site has not been updated since 30.10.2018. * My Problem is, that we don’t now, how two separate wordpress instances are running and how to delete the unused installation. I can’t access the backend of this installation as I always get forwarded to the https secured login page, where I automatically end up at the correct up and running https website. * Please let me know if you have any clue on how to solve this problem. Because 1. I don’t want someting to block this URL (It should forward to the correct page) 2. I don’t want to have a second installation that i can’t update or access( no security update and so on..) * Thank you very much Thomas * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftwo-separate-installations-on-http-and-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * [George Appiah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gappiah/) * (@gappiah) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-separate-installations-on-http-and-https/#post-11579274) * > My Problem is, that we don’t now, how two separate wordpress instances are > running and how to delete the unused installation. * Technically, HTTP and HTTPS version of your site are two different “sites”, though the common practice is to forward one to the other. * But, in your case, it looks like you originally setup your site with HTTP, running WordPress version 4.9.8. Then the HTTPS version was pointed to a different DocumentRoot in your server configuration (which has a new WordPress version 5.2.1) … so the two installations both exist. * The real problem here is not that you have two separate WordPress installations, but [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-separate-installations-on-http-and-https/?output_format=md), [http://www](http://www), [https://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-separate-installations-on-http-and-https/?output_format=md), and [https://www](https://www) directives in your Nginx web server are NOT pointing to the same location. * I can see you’ve added some redirects, but these are only a bandaids. * You can only fix this properly at the server level by changing your Nginx configuration: if you want your site to run under [https://www.frama-rsign.com](https://www.frama-rsign.com), make sure [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-separate-installations-on-http-and-https/?output_format=md), [http://www](http://www) and HTTPS:// all redirect to [https://www.frama-rsign.com](https://www.frama-rsign.com) AT THE SERVER LEVEL (to avoid unnecessary redirects, even after fixing the above problem). * [relocation1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/relocation1/) * (@relocation1) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-separate-installations-on-http-and-https/#post-11579407) * HTTP and HTTPS of site are two different “sites”, though the common practice is to forward one to the other.like go to webmaster tools and add an property and do next process..Further more use seach console also to change the property id from http to https..at the last it will be good to sign in to cpanel and redirect http to https…Solve * [Relocation Companies Dubai | Relocation Companies in Dubai](https://www.moversgulf.com) * [webmasterhouston](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmasterhouston/) * (@webmasterhouston) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-separate-installations-on-http-and-https/#post-11579602) * My guess is that you need help with .htaccess * [George Appiah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gappiah/) * (@gappiah) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-separate-installations-on-http-and-https/#post-11579624) * > My guess is that you need help with .htaccess * This is an Nginx server, where .htaccess doesn’t apply (unless Nginx is acting as a proxy in front of Apache). * Thread Starter [marketing4fra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marketing4fra/) * (@marketing4fra) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-separate-installations-on-http-and-https/#post-11579706) * Thank you very much, this helps me a lot.
