changing website url to https

    – If you know how to access phpMyAdmin on your host, then check the wp_options Table (Note: The table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed it when installing), and make sure siteurl field and home field are correct. See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database

    – Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.
