    Hi everyone, I really hope this is in the right place.

    I am in the process of setting up an eccomerce site for a friend of mine and am wanting to take stripe payments. Understanding I needed an ssl and finding that I have a shared one on my host I went and changed my urls on the WordPress dashboard to https not being able to find any documentation to say this wasn’t the way to do it.

    I am now locked out. Please help!!!!

    Safari is telling me it cannot find a secure connection and won’t open.

    I had also previously checked the ‘force ssl to all pages’ which I know was a big mistake.

    Can anyone help? Either remove the ssl from my url somehow or tell me how I am supposed to use it. I’m a bit of a newb when it comes to ecommerce. For now we are okay to remove it and just use PayPal though we would rather use something more dedicated to card payments and already had a stripe account.

    The url is madhatter-games.co.uk

    Thanks in advance!!

    Update:

    I have since tried uninstalling and reinstalling wordpress on two urls
    https://www.madhatter-games.co.uk and https://www.madhatter-games.com and still nothing.

    I presumed it would completely remove the account/database and i could start from scratch again but I have absolutely no access still and I am concerned my client may lose business.

    Please can someone help me. I’m a bit desperate :\

    You just can’t simply use an ssl certificate. Ask your hosting guys for support of installing your ssl certificate for new domain.

    To disable https to your server, try removing something like the following lines from your htaccess

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

    I totally understand that and it was a big mistake.
