# HTTPS broke my login?

 * I recently added two plugins to my site. Unfortunately I can’t remember their
   names, but one added HTTPS to my site, and the second forces the site to use 
   HTTPS. After I installed the second, I was logged out automatically, and now 
   I cannot log in. If I enter my credentials on [https://gooddogcomputers.co.za/wp-admin/post.php](https://gooddogcomputers.co.za/wp-admin/post.php)
   and click Log In, it just kicks me back to the same login page, no error message
   or anything.
 * Ideally I’d like to remove the plugin(s) somehow, but I don’t know if that can
   be done without logging into the dashboard?

 * Hi there,
    Please connect to your server via ftp and rename both plugins that
   forced https. Even if you forgot the names, you should be able to identify them
   by folder names. Also, you should probably consider switching your site to https
   using search&replace in your database and not plugins. You could follow a tutorial
   like this one [Video tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cizulBKZ5bc)
 * But first things first. MY first step would be the deactivation of both ssl plugins.
   
   Please try that and get back to us so we can see if it worked.
 * Also: ALWAYS BACKUP!
    Cheers Anja
