Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] Stopped WorkingI’m not sure if this applies to your situation BUT –
I had a client install this plugin on the latest version of wordpress and it caused a lot of the site content not to load due to the force https redirect. When I went in to fix the problem I could not login to the admin area.
I went into the database in the ‘wp-options’ table and switched the ‘siteurl’ and ‘home’ options back to ‘http://www.yourdomain.com’
Then I was able to login and remove the plugin.
Hope this helps, cheers.
I should also mention that Dreamhost will update your database to MySQL 5.6 if you call their tech support and ask.
Glad it worked, tomuptonuk.
Cheers.
Here’s what I did to fix the problem:
1- Open the archive file and go into the database.sql file and do a find & replace for “utf8mb4” and replace it with “utf8”
2. Run duplicator as a manual install
3. Go into your wp-config.php file and switch the DB_CHARSET to “utf8”
From here you should be good. Cheers!
Thanks alex.mqt for the solution. For me I had a similar situation, The above solution was nearly enough to fix, I then had to go in the wp-config file and update the db charset to utf8
Good to go!
Beginner question: When you say “Run this script on your existing installation” do you mean go into phpMyadmin and run a query on the database? If not, where do you run the script from?
Thanks!!
