    Help! I tried to encrypt my wordpress website enhance-cs.com and now I am unable to connect to my website.

    The page says that the website is temporarily unavailable and/or overly taxed.

    Through a website I started following a step-by-step guide to get my website to have an SSL encryption. The first step was:

    Go to Settings>General and change the “Site URL” and the “Base URL” to https:// instead of https://.

    What do I have to do? I cannot access my website anymore so it is impossible to change it back.

  • If you can get into your database, you can change it back to http. Do you have access to your hosting account?

    Not sure which page of instructions you followed?
    Have a look at this one…
    How to Install a SSL Certificate On Your WordPress Site
    The easy way is to use the Really Simple SSL plugin (mentioned on the page) – basically because it does all the work for you! And it is very lightweight.

    Re getting the site back..
    You need to look for the table – “wp_options” in the database.

    There are two items to change..

    1. Search for “siteurl” within the “option_name” column and click the “Edit” link on the same row. Change it back to http
    2) Search for “home” within the “option_name” column and click the “Edit” link on the same row. Change it back to http.

    Thank you for your suggestions! It is operating now. I need to arrange the ssl certificate through another channel I have been told, that is why it went wrong.

    Glad to hear you got it sorted!
