 * Hi,
 * I recently bought a SSL certificate and have had it installed on my server, but
   traffic wasn’t being redirected via HTTPS automatically, so in general settings
   I set the url to be [https://www.beautyharoubourclinic.com/store](https://www.beautyharoubourclinic.com/store)
 * Since the change, I am able to access the site still, but I am not able to access
   the admin panel via [http://www.beautyharbourclinic.com/store/wp-admin](http://www.beautyharbourclinic.com/store/wp-admin).
 * In Chrome I get the error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcant-access-wp-admin-after-switching-to-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi ethranes,
 * I did exactly the same thing you did after I got my SSL cert. I then changed 
   my URL to say https:// and now I can’t login. I’m a complete noob to WordPress.
   I don’t even understand the answer you posted to your own question. How do you
   switch the site in wp_options schema when you can’t even login? Do you have to
   access your database via FTP? I downloaded FileZilla, but I don’t know what to
   put for my credentials to gain access. Can you please help me? I’ve been messing
   with this all day and I can’t figure it out.
