Can’t access homepage after changing URL to HTTPS

    Hi,

    I saw my homepage was ‘not secure’, so i used google to find out that i just needed to change my url from http to https.
    After i did that, i suddenly can’t access my homepage or the admin part anymore. I either get an ‘homepage is not secure, want to continue anyway’ which returns an error, or it goes directly to an error.

    Now since i can’t access my admin account anymore, i cant change it back, so are there any ways to change this back to http again, or make it work as an https?

    The website in question is http(s)://www.overblikmedia.dk

    I don’t have anything installed on my PC (i think), since everything is made through the online wordpress setup.

    Thanks

    Hey @gudmann90,

    Your site overblikmedia.dk is using the self-hosted version of WordPress.

    These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only :) https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    However, you have not Installed SSL till yet so, your connection is showing insecure. You can get free SSL from sslforfree.com or ask your host regarding let’s encrypt.
    Contact your host(UnoEuro) regarding SSL installation.
    How To Add Free SSL In WordPress Using Let’s Encrypt

    To access your site before SSL installtion, you need to change back your URL to http:// instead of https:// .

    Paste this code in your wp-config.php file and check if you can access your site or not. 

    define('WP_HOME','http://overblikmedia.dk');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://overblikmedia.dk');

    or you can change using phpMyAdmin. How to Change the URL of a WordPress Website from its Database Using cPanel.

    Thanks !!!
