 * Hi!
    I’ve change my site from http to https under settings > generel, and now
   the site is broken. It won’t let me log back in to change it. Is there any way
   to restore the previous settings? The site isn’t backed up.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbroke-site-when-changing-from-http-to-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Before changing to SSL, your host needs to install an SSL certificate. You do
   not have one. Chrome reports “This server could not prove that it is onstagecollection.
   com; its security certificate is from *.unoeuro.com. ”
 * Edit wp-config.php to set the site and home URLs with http, not https.
