Cannot log into admin area, getting 404 Not Found

  • I have been trying to install a SSL certificate to run my site from https but I now cannot log in and get a 404 not found error.

    I changed the settings from ‘http’ to ‘https’ after getting the certificate but now everything has gone!

    Can anyone help please?

  • For your site to Work with https you should have verified and installed SSL certificate – which either you have to purchase or claim on a specific package/plan. Please contact(thru chat) your hosting provider about this.

    If you changed it to https go to cpanel:

    Be aware with these settings in the wp-config.php file, the ability to modify them from the dashboard is lost.

    Step 1) Edit your wp-config.php file.
Step 2) Define your WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL settings by inserting these lines towars the top:
define('WP_HOME','https://yourdomain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://yourdomain.com');

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //

    Don’t change anything if you don’t know what you’re doing.

    Baloydi Lloydi, thank you for the suggestion. I have tried that but now I get a login page without any graphics and still no access.

    Accessing my site seems to get locked in rotating requests.
