 * Hi,
    I’m new to wordpress and I mistakenly changed General settings to https 
   from http, and now the localhost fails to open.
 * Is there anyway to revert this?
 * Thanks.

 * You should be able to change the wp-options.php file to reflect the correct site
   URL. I’ve included an article that talks about this procedure, along with changing
   the site URL in the database if necessary.

 * Hello,
 * You should able to change “wp-config.php” from root of the project.
 * You should add following two lines at the end of file:
 *     ```
       define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
       define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
       ```
   
 * After adding this code, you can not change site_url/home_url from admin panel.
   So, you can also change home_url/site_url directly from database table wp_options.
 * Thanks

 * Didn’t seem to work. I had to reinstall WordPress and MAMP.
 * Thanks anyways!
