Title: Changed http to https and can’t access my admin panel Last modified: June 1, 2023 --- # Changed http to https and can’t access my admin panel * [desireddigitalmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/desireddigitalmedia/) * (@desireddigitalmedia) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changed-http-to-https-and-cant-access-my-admin-panel/) * Hi, I made a stupid mistake following site health advise to change to https and now i can’t access my website or see it. I only built this website on wordpress. org without proper hosting as my client already has a domain purchased elsewhere. I haven’t connected the site to the domain just yet as I was still working on final pieces. * Now I am unable to use my admin page and for some reason I also can’t log in using FileZilla or any other FTP server and I’m devastated. * Can someone please help me to understand how am I able to reverse that change? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fchanged-http-to-https-and-cant-access-my-admin-panel%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/) * (@contentiskey) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changed-http-to-https-and-cant-access-my-admin-panel/#post-16786980) * if you are able to access the database for your (localhost) environment – then the issue can be fixed in the OPTIONS table. * Guide: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/changing-the-site-url/](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/changing-the-site-url/) * [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/changing-the-site-url/#changing-the-url-directly-in-the-database](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/changing-the-site-url/#changing-the-url-directly-in-the-database) - This reply was modified 3 years ago by [lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/). - This reply was modified 3 years ago by [lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/). - This reply was modified 3 years ago by [lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/). * Thread Starter [desireddigitalmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/desireddigitalmedia/) * (@desireddigitalmedia) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changed-http-to-https-and-cant-access-my-admin-panel/#post-16786996) * Hi Lisa, I haven’t do a backup to this site and I cannot access my admin page now as it keeps changing to https even when I input http * [lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/) * (@contentiskey) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changed-http-to-https-and-cant-access-my-admin-panel/#post-16787084) * if you are not able to access your database (maybe in an area like phpmyadmin or adminer) in your (localhost) environment or in any of the other ways described in the guide, then it may not be possible to change the site url back to the original settings * Guide: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/changing-the-site-url/](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/changing-the-site-url/) * What is the name of the tool you are using for your (localhost) environment? * Thread Starter [desireddigitalmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/desireddigitalmedia/) * (@desireddigitalmedia) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changed-http-to-https-and-cant-access-my-admin-panel/#post-16787131) * My goodness, I didn’t install anything, I was just running all the changes through Firefox:( does it mean the change is permanent and I need to start this website from scratch? * Thread Starter [desireddigitalmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/desireddigitalmedia/) * (@desireddigitalmedia) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changed-http-to-https-and-cant-access-my-admin-panel/#post-16787136) * Oh actually I used MAMP! * [lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/) * (@contentiskey) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changed-http-to-https-and-cant-access-my-admin-panel/#post-16787199) * Maybe this guide or forum will help with Mamp: * [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP](https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP) * Try some of the documentation in “Mamp Support” can help you locate the area with the databse: [https://www.mamp.info/en/mamp/support/](https://www.mamp.info/en/mamp/support/) * (I don’t use Mamp, I use localwp.com for local development of sites) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Changed http to https and can’t access my admin panel’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [can't log in](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/cant-log-in/) * [HTTP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/http/) * [HTTPS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/https/) * [website error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/website-error/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 6 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/) * Last activity: [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changed-http-to-https-and-cant-access-my-admin-panel/#post-16787199) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
