    PLEASE HELP! I changed the http to https in WordPress settings, saved it and everything has disappeared since then! I was sign out, my website doesn’t exist, I can’t even log in to WP by …. / wp-admin.php. It took me months to build the page, please for any advice! I’m desperate.

    Hi there,

    You will need to contact your hosting provider so that they help you fix this. You do not add an s to your URL settings to make it HTTPS rather an SSL certificate would have to be installed on your website to make the site secure.

    All sites on WordPress.com have this setting automatically configured upon launching of sites hence you are currently posting in the wrong forum.

    Your site is using the open-source WordPress software from WordPress.org and is being hosted somewhere else. For help with a WordPress site hosted elsewhere you’ll need to ask in the WordPress.org forums:
    https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

    The forum you are posting on is intended for supporting free sites hosted here at WordPress.com.
    You can find more information about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    Hi there,

    Enabling SSL or changing the domain on a stand-alone WordPress site like yours has to follow a specific process. You can find the documentation for that process here, though many hosting providers have their own process for this via their hosting control panel.

    Depending on your setup, you might be able to fix this yourself using those instructions. If not, please contact your hosting provider directly for help. The WordPress.org forums won’t be able to help you either in this case, aside from pointing you to that same documentation.
