  I looked up ways to make a website secure and got one answer to go to my admin area, click on general settings and add https:// to my wordpress address (URL) and site address URL.

  After doing that, i lost access to the wp-admin access of my site. Now when i try to login, i get a Page not found message. How do i fix this please?

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

  WordPress.com hosted sites have SSL enabled by default, so your description looks like you are talking about a self-hosted WordPress.org site. This forum is for WordPress.com hosted sites exclusively.

  Suggest you contact your hosting service provider to correct this issue or visit the support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are little different and can be confusing. Take a look at the difference between both at https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
