  • Hi ! I was messing with my HTTP / HTTPS settings and can no longer access the Admin. When I visit the admin site in any browser, I get the error ‘Secure Connection Failed.’ Thank you for any assistance.

    Hi there!

    It looks like it might be redirecting to the HTTPS protocol. It might be a plugin doing that or maybe a wp-config setting. I looked up the headers and saw

    
$ curl -I https://yoursite/wp-admin/
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Server: Apache/2.4

    If you have SFTP connection you might be able to deactivate those by renaming the plugins folder temporarily. First thing that sort of came to mind was a security plugin or one that forces SSL. Seems the certificate may not be set up just yet maybe? Thinking out loud a little on that one.

    Either way hope you can find the solution

    Revert your site back.

    When I made this change, I certainly didn’t understand what I was doing but now I realize that the cert is definitely not set up yet.

    I’m hosted with Laughing Squid so I don’t really have access with an SFTP connection or to the server.

    Probably a noob question, but would Laughing Squid be able to help with this ? Since they host the site ?

    Definitely – you pay for it, use it!
