Good luck!

I HAVE purchased SSL for a year. I wanted to connect it to WordPress. But now I’m not worried about SSL, just about the page to get it back asap. It’s very important for me. What do I have to do to restore the website to the previous settings? Or how to make the website use http again instead of https? Please help.

Hello,

You can change this option directly in the database. You will need to have access to the hosting account where the wordpress installation is and a database manager such as phpMyAdmin.

The steps to follow are very simple:
1o Once you access phpMyAdmin (or any database manager), search for the database where the WordPress installation is.
2o Locate the table

‘wp_options’

. In your case, you are interested in the

‘siteurl’

record, where you can see that the field value is ‘https…/.
3o Edit the record and change the value from ‘https’ to ‘http’, save the changes and try to access.

This should be enough for you to regain access to the site.
If you have already purchased an SSL, I recommend using a plugin like Really Simple SSL which makes the necessary changes to the instance.

Anyway, I recommend you to ask for help to your hosting support to avoid misunderstandings.

Note: Before making direct changes to the database, do not forget to make a backup of the database and files.

Hope it helps,
Have a good day ??

I checked it and I don’t have the table called wp_options or siteurl in WordPress files. I tried a similar method that you suggested with wp-config, wp-settings, https-detection, https-migration, and a few others, but it didn’t work. The hosting support does not reply to my e-mails. Any other ideas on how to fix this?

These were in reference to the database, not files. Even then, your database table prefix may be different from wp_, so you need to take that into consideration as well.

I’m sorry, but you need to be very specific with what action you took and the result you got, including any error message(s)… so we can help you resolve that specific problem.

Find a better host that will respond to your support requests?

UPDATE:

I just checked your site again, and I’m now seeing the message “This account has been suspended. Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources.”.
