HTTP to HTTPS DISASTER

  • Use the control panel (e.g. cPanel) provided by your host to access to the site files and database. This link provides 4 ways to change the site url without accessing the WordPress dashboard.

    * Save a backup of the file or the database before you make any changes.
    ** Make sure that your host has an SSL certificate enabled on your accont before you enable HTTPS.

    Thank you Barnez. If my host does not have an SSL certificate enabled on the account before making it HTTPS and there also is not a cPanel for me to access, is there a way to close the site?

    Who is your host? Do they offer FTP access? Or some type of file manager? They must offer some way to access your site files and database outside of the WordPress dashboard itself.

    If the answer to the above is no, then you will need to ask the host to modify the files for you to fix this issue. Then, I would move to a different host that offers control panel to access the site files/database.
