 * Hallo, I have a problem and writing here before cancelling all and restarting
   to build the site.
    – in this case the hosting is in Hong Kong and the provider
   gives us .com.hk, pre installed MySql, not installed WP – I installed WP and 
   built the site (before made a draft offline with xampp, tested and then not uploaded
   but copied with a fresh installation from zero) – the initial url, few days ago
   was http – after installed 95% (all was working very well) I complained that 
   they were not providing the ssl dv certificate – normally (in other cases) the
   ssl dv is installed by myself: in this case they installed the ssl cert for us“
   while the machine was already running” – I started to modify all but unfortunately
   I was forced (due to other problems) to clean the internet temporary files from
   my chrome – obviously suddenly all disappeared: 404 error /wp-admin not found,
   etc – the other problem is that I had (active) a plugin for “maintenance mode”,
   so must in any case enter as admin to deactivate it – tried modifying the .htaccess
   and the wp-config, but with zero result, because if I don’t enter as admin to
   change the url (settings / general) inside it still says “http” – tried to modify
   from database, changing the url in wp-options (from http to https), but zero 
   results – with filezilla, via ftp I see all the structure, but it does not work–
   initially it was possible to go to [http://www.biomotive.com.hk](http://www.biomotive.com.hk)
   and see the “maintenance mode page”: now after several trials worst in worst 
   the result is “internal server error”, or “404” or … every change I try I revert
   back to initial http status to avoid to complicate the situation I tried to change
   the files permissions to 755 but nothing I also applied what explained in the
   following two memo: [https://websitesetup.org/http-to-https-wordpress/](https://websitesetup.org/http-to-https-wordpress/)
   [https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/)
 * but nothing: the problem is that cannot access to wp-admin (wp-login) anymore
 * it seems the only option I have is to cancel all and restart to build my website
   again.
    Any option? thank you

   so I’ll close this for good.
