 * Under General Settings, I accidentally changed the website address from http://
   to https:// and now my website says it is not secure. I don’t know how to revert
   this. Thank you.

 * Hi,
    1- Please go to Admin > Settings > General > Site URL. Here you can change
   the site url easily. Just refer this article [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL).
   Hope it will help you sure and let me know the feedback. Thanks Mohammad

 * Why you can’t login? Because you get security warning? Just ignore it and continue.

 * Hi,
 * If you have access to the site via FTP, then this method will help you quickly
   get a site back up and running, if you changed those values incorrectly.
 * 1. FTP to the site, and get a copy of the active theme’s functions.php file. 
   You’re going to edit it in a simple text editor and upload it back to the site.
 * 2. Add these two lines to the file, immediately after the initial “<?php” line.
 * update_option( ‘siteurl’, ‘[http://example.com&#8217](http://example.com&#8217););
   
   update_option( ‘home’, ‘[http://example.com&#8217](http://example.com&#8217););
 * Use your own URL instead of example.com, obviously.
 * 3. Upload the file back to your site, in the same location. FileZilla offers 
   a handy “edit file” function to do all of the above rapidly; if you can use that,
   do so.
 * 4. Load the login or admin page a couple of times. The site should come back 
   up.
 * `Important! Do not leave those lines in the functions.php file. Remove them after
   the site is up and running again.`
 * Thanks
    Mohammad
