 * Okay, so I messed up and have a small (read: big) problem.
 * I’ve been running a WP site with Woocommerce and installed a SSL certificate.
   The SSL was installed correctly according to serveral online checks, but the 
   green lock still didn’t appear left of the url in my browsers. I’ve checked on
   multiple machines but no succes.
 * On some advice page i read the changing the website URL standard in the setting/
   general page from [http://example.com](http://example.com) to [https://example.com](https://example.com)
   will do the trick.
 * But it doesn’t. Now only the homepage of my site load, but all images etc won’t.
   All other pages give a 404 error.
 * Even the admin page (example.com/wp-admin) won’t load, so I can’t undo my error.
 * Can anybody please tell my where I can change this in the codeing? My php-skill
   are zero but copy/pasting (https -> http) that I can manage 🙂
 * I’ve allready tried the [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL)
   option, but it didn’t work for me.
 * Anybody got a suggestion?
 * Thanks you 🙂

 * Well, someone did find the answer. The key file in this was and adjustment in
   the wp-settings.php file. After that adjustment I could again log into the dashboard
   and correct my error.
 * Don’t ask me about the exact adjustment as my php knowledge is minimal 🙁
