 * Our website was showing “unsecure connection” so I changed the URLs in the WordPress
   database to HTTPS from HTTP, as I read in one of the forums here that would fix
   it. However, after I clicked “save” in the WordPress dashboard, the WP admin 
   site went blank and shows this message: Not Found [CFN #0005]. The website itself
   shows: Not Authorized to View This Page [CFN #0004].
    I have contacted EasyDNS
   who has our domain name and name servers, and I have contacted Telus who hosts
   the website. So far I have not made any headway, please any advice to fix this
   would be great!

 * Reset the URLs to their `http` version. You can do this via PHPMYADMIN in the
   wp_options table or by adding constants in wp-config.php: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/#edit-wp-config-php](https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/#edit-wp-config-php)
 * The latter is probably the easiest.
 * To make your site use https, you must FIRST install a valid SSL certificate. 
   Contact your host for assistance with this.

 * Hi Steve,
 * Thank you for this information, but I do not know what PHPMYADMIN is or how to
   use it.

 * The use the 2nd method. Download wp-config.php, edit it, and re-upload.
