Locked out after enabling SSL

  • If you accidently enabled SSL on your site in iThemes Security you can fix this by doing this:

    – Log in with terminal or FTP (I didn’t try that though)
    – Make sure your wp-config.php is editable. It seems it is made only readable by WPS
    – Remove these lines: at the top:

    //The entries below were created by iThemes Security to enforce SSL
define( 'FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', true );
define( 'FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true );

    – Now you can go login to wp-admin.
    – Imediately go to iThemes Security -> Settings and turn off SSL and make sure the checkboxes are emtpy for everything SSL
    – Update settings
    – If you don’t do this WPS will remember you have enabled SSL and will again lock you out.
