  Created this account to ask a question.
  I tried to assist my mom by changing her wordpress from HTTP to HTTPS. I adjusted that by changing HTTP to HTTPS in WordPress Address (URL), and Site Address (URL)

  I saved and now the website is gone. 404 Not Found error. What steps do I need to take to recover the website for her? I would be happy to get in touch with someone who could help us directly.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Ignore the last line. That is not the blog I need help with.

  What website is this for?

  Keep in mind that if the site isn’t hosted on WordPress.com servers, then the forums at https://wordpress.org/support will be better for this question. The issue you’re describing is something that generally doesn’t affect WordPress.com hosted sites, as there’s no access to change the site URL.

  Here’s a bit about the differences- https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  The website is http://www.joyfit.cz
  I suppose it’s possible it wasn’t hosted on wordpress itself but used the website as its blueprint.
  OK I will check the links you posted. Appreciate it.

  Yes, the WordPress.org forums are the ones you want, since the site is not hosted on these servers. See the forum here for help: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

  All the best!
