  Under settings on my blog admin page, I changed the URL from http://{website URL} to https://{website URL}, and now I can’t log back in. Is there a way to undo this?

  Hi there,

  Is this happening on a site hosted on the servers here at WordPress.com, or is it a self-hosted WordPress site (hosted with a different company)?

  If the site is hosted on the servers here at WordPress.com, please post a link to it.

  If instead you need help changing back the site URL on WordPress site hosted somewhere else, please try following the steps outlined at:

  https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

  If you need help with that, please try contacting your hosting provider for support.

  Hey petetarsi,

  Please share the link to your website. You seem to have a self-hosted WordPress site.

  garysixtyeight,

  It’s a WordPress site hosted somewhere else, at petetarsi.com

  The steps you gave me are exactly what I did to cause the problem. And this problem is preventing me from even getting to that setting page to change it back.

  The link is petetarsi.com

  That site is using the self-hosted version of WordPress.

  To change site URL back, please try following the steps outlined at the link below:

  https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

  If you need help with that, please try contacting your hosting provider (Godaddy) for support.

  As the site is not hosted on the servers here at WordPress.com, we’re unable to provide support for it.

  If you’d like to learn more about the differences between WordPress.com (the hosted service) and WordPress.org (the software), please see this guide:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Good luck!

  You don’t need to access the settings page to change it back, there are other ways to change it – such editing the database directly, editing wp-config.php.

  Details for those are outlined in the codex below:

  https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

  If you’re struggling to change the URL by using one of those methods, try contacting GoDaddy support. If you get through to a competent and helpful member of GoDaddy support, they should be able to help you change it.

  We can’t help you change it here because we don’t have access to the database or site files – but Godaddy do.
