Https error in my Settings-> General section

  • I made an error in my Settings->General section.

    In the domain box in General, I accidentally typed https:// instead of https://.

    The Certificate was not installed so this of course is not working, and anytime I try to log in to my website backoffice, or even try to look at my website, I get an error that says “This site cannot be reached”.

    How am I supposed to be able to fix this error if I cannot log in to my back office?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    To change it back, using FTP/ SFTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides, access phpMyAdmin on your host, then find your DB, there 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 this Codex for more info and more options https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database

    If you don’t feel comfortable messing with the database, contact your hosting provider to help you with this or try other methods described in the aforementioned codex

    If you haven’t already done, always backup your database before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups!
