http to https mistake

Edit wp-config.php and to reset the URLs for your site.

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Editing_wp-config.php#WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME

You can access the file via FTP or from your hosting control panel.

Is your website hosted on www.ads-software.com? If that is the case I advise you to login there and go to general and change https://www.carolinewebber.co.uk to https://www.carolinewebber.co.uk

However, you can easily get a free SSL certificate through this website: https://www.sslforfree.com/

@mcfreder, www.ads-software.com does not host websites (other than www.ads-software.com sites).

@carolinewebber, contact your host when you get this resolved to see if they support LetsEncrypt’s free certificates.

IF your website is hosted on a server and you have FTP access; Find wp-config.php and put these lines there:

define('WP_HOME','https://www.carolinewebber.co.uk');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://www.carolinewebber.co.uk');

i am editing the blog for a friend, she has no IT knowledge at all… someone else set up the blog in the first place, he is unavailable. I do not know who is hosting the site!!!
I’ve tried using ftp all i get is an error code – can’t connect to the server.
I got a SSL certificate, but that won’t activate due to an incorrect CRS (or is it CSR??) code…
Running out of patience, time and hair!!

It appears your site is hosted by GoDaddy. Please contact their tech support for FTP info, SSL config, etc.

oooooh thank you will try them now.

argh now i need the original guys 4 digit code or customer number for them to go into the account… delays delays!! Thanks everyone,

ok, I am into the site via ftp at last, but could someone please tell me how to edit the wp-config file, when i open it in notepad it is not showing me the proper file ie I can’t see the lines of code to alter them.

i have done it. The site is now back up and running ok! Thank you everyone.
