Suddenly, I have an HTTPS redirect SSL error I cannot fix

Let me start by saying I have never touched my code EVER. I am not a complete noob, but I am not advanced enough or patient enough to deal with serious coding. Have never, would never, should never touch my code.EVER.

That said, I can find a code error and fix it if someone gives me proper directions. I was talked to lime I am a baboon with a brain injury by some guy at my hosting site today, so I’d like to avoid things like having “hosting” explained to me slowly 20x in a row, kwim?

PROBLEM: I am planning to launch a website in JULY. I already have another WP blog on a private domain with my host, and the host decided it would be most cost efficient to stick my new independent domain on the same server as child under the unrelated blog as a parent. FINE. I did this back in late April.

I downloaded WooCommerce to my new WP site. I tested out a few different woocommerce themes. I added a few basic plugins, mostly WP based, but about 3 were WC based. Everything was running dandy until about 5 days ago when my entire site started redirecting to an SSL error. I can see my “coming soon!” parking page (incognito) or view my actual pages as admin when I look at unique pages with slugs, but I cannot see my main page–redirects to the ssl certificate error every time.

Yesterday, an agent with my host worked on this for an hour and assured me it was fixed. Said my site would be back up in 2-4 hours. Great! Except, it’s not. Bummer.

Here are the things that have changed since my site went from OK to problem:

I changed my theme several times. Maybe 4 or 5? I had a trial version of Divi that worked but could not be updated, and I was looking for alternatives. The problem occurred during the changing of the themes. I have now purchased Divi and have the most current version installed. Divi is not the problem. I do not know if one of the previous WP/WC themes created the problem, but I don’t think so?

I downloaded a few plugins, but nothing major. I have since deactivated or deleted ALL new plugins.

I created a Google+ page for my site. I do use Chrome (probably not the best for web developing, but I’ve been a little lazy about this until it all blew up on me), but I still have the SSL error in all other browsers. Google+ asks clients to enter every possible form of a website’s URL in your + page for directory purposes. Stupidly, I entered my site with https://[mysite].com and https://www.[mysite].com without thinking this might jack up my directory. I do not know if this is part of the problem. I have since requested Google to remove both bad directory listings. They have honored 1 request and I am still “pending” on the other. My request to delete these two defunct https directories from Google was placed 30 HOURS AGO. There is no way to contact anyone @ Google to ask why they are ignoring my 2nd request, but they are. It appears the one they deleted is the one that still is coming up as the redirect (https://[mysite].com) but I have no idea if this has anything to do with the problem in the first place.

I have checked these forums for HTTPS and SSL errors and followed all instructions I have found. I got into my ftp files, found wp-config.php file, and searched for any traces of “define” “FORCE_SSL” or “HTTPS” and came up with zero evidence that this file (or any others in my DB) have any such directive defined.

It appears, on my end, that this is not a problem created on my end, but I may just be missing it?

I am frustrated, stressed out, and desperate. I am running out of time for my deadline. This is costing me a fortune in time, money, revenue, sanity… After working about 5 straight days to fix this to no avail, I’ll do anything to get this fixed. I’ll light candles and offer Twizzlers to the Geek Gods if someone can help me fix this without having to eat more Valium.

Anyone? Bueller….?
