 * Hello Experts!
 * I was so wrong when I changed my WordPress address (URL) from : http to https
   in the setting of wp-admin WITHOUT the certification SSL
 * Then I can’t access to my site and wp-admin
 * I tried to access the .htaccess by using FTP, but I couldn’t connect to it.
 * I hope you to help me!
 * Thank you in advance

 * In this case, you will need to change the wordpress site url either in Cpanel
   >> phpmyadmin or the config file as stated in both options here – [https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/214580498-How-do-I-change-the-WordPress-Site-URL-](https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/214580498-How-do-I-change-the-WordPress-Site-URL-)
 * Hopefully you have access to your cpanel.

 * Hi,
    Make sure your site has an SSL certificate. Without that, you can’t access
   your site.
 * Ask your hosting provider about this issue, they’ll assist you to create SSL 
   certificate (Lets Encrypt) if you are not installed the WordPress on the localhost.
 * If you want to change the HTTPS to HTTP you can do that by phpMyAdmin.

    Thanks for your
   advice! It seems helpful to me. But I use the compute engine of Google Cloud 
   Platform, so I’m trying to find the Cpanel 😀 😀 😀

 * You simply need to change that field (actually there are two) back to normal 
   in your database. Either:
 * 1. access your phpMyAdmin via your Cpanel (it’s the database program) look for
   the wp_options table (it’s the first two entries you need to change), or …
 * 2. if you’re able to upload files to your server, you could upload a script like
   this one and do a replace of [https://your-domain-name](https://your-domain-name)
   with [http://your-domain-name](http://your-domain-name), where ‘your-domain-name’
   is your domain name (if you’re using www. then include that too). [https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/](https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/)

 * Hi,
    Thanks for your advice,
 * But my problem is still unresolved. I can’t access the databases to access my
   phpMyadmin via my Cpanel because Godaddy is my hosting. I must add “/Cpanel” 
   to the end of the link in order to access. That doesn’t work 🙁
    I will try to
   ask my hosting provider about this!
