Not secure to 404 error

  • I kept getting the “page is not secure” when trying to check out or view cart using my site. I downloaded a SSL plug in and was directed to go into my settings and change the url to ‘https’ from ‘http’. Ever since I did that, I am getting nothing but 404 error. I can’t even get to my admin page to change it back. How do I go about fixing this?

    (This is my first time creating a site and using wordpress)

    Thanks!

  • Did you get and install an SSL from your webhost before you added the plugin and made the settings changes?

    That is probably the issue. I am using asmallorange (small plan). Do I need to upgrade to the option with SSL and that will fix the issue?

    Thank you for the response!

    Ah, yes. You simply can’t use https without an SSL. Upgrade or do whatever you need to do to get an SSL installed in your hosting account for your domain.
