Editing stopped access

  • Hi all,
    New to wordpress and struggling.
    I have set up a website on my linux Mint 19.1 laptop prior to doing a final install on a dedicated PC. initially I just went with http but then bought an ssl certificate and tried to move to https using Really Simple SSl which didn’t find my certificate then by following this: https://websitesetup.org/http-to-https-wordpress/.
    That stopped me accessing it at all. As it’s on my laptop I was able to edit wp-config.php directly and found that I could add 2 lines:
    define( ‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://example.com’ );
    define( ‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://example.com’ );
    So now I don’t know how to recover from this.
    As it’s on my own machine I assume I can edit any of the files but have no idea which ones.
    Please help.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hello bartonadmin,

    Is it possible for you to share the screenshot of the error you are getting?

    Also, you can try to change the link via Database, if you have PHPMyAdmin installed, you can open wp_options table and change the links there.

    Thanks.

    Simply enabling
    #define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);
    causes the problem
    The browser says
    This site can’t be reached
    bartonkh.org refused to connect.
    Yes I have phpmyadmin installed so I will see what I can find.
    Thanks

    phpmyadmin starts up but shows a page from the site rather than the usual stuff and offers no way to navigate – no menus to find databases for example.

    Okay I am running mysql, have selected the correct database and can see all the tables but have no idea which to select or edit.
    I vaguely remember the syntax not having used it directly for years..
