 * I’m trying to make my blog, a secure blog and I’m failing somewhere after “Implementing
   HTTPS for WordPress” step from following guide:
 * [WordPress › HTTPS for WordPress – Support Everything WordPress](https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/web-publishing/https-for-wordpress/#implementing-https-for-wordpress)
 * via browser, whenever I try _http_ it redirects me to _https_ and when I try 
   _https_ it redirects me back to _http_ (causing infinite loop).
 * I even went back and revert changes _home_ and _siteurl_, yet still in this infinite
   loop(
 *     ```
       [alexus@j ~/alexus.org/wordpress]$ wp db query "SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name='home';"
       +-----------+-------------+-------------------+----------+
       | option_id | option_name | option_value      | autoload |
       +-----------+-------------+-------------------+----------+
       |        37 | home        | http://alexus.org | yes      |
       +-----------+-------------+-------------------+----------+
       [alexus@j ~/alexus.org/wordpress]$ wp db query "SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name='siteurl';"
       +-----------+-------------+-------------------+----------+
       | option_id | option_name | option_value      | autoload |
       +-----------+-------------+-------------------+----------+
       |         1 | siteurl     | http://alexus.org | yes      |
       +-----------+-------------+-------------------+----------+
       [alexus@j ~/alexus.org/wordpress]$
       ```
   
 * ‘elp plz!)

 * `siteurl` and `home` need to be set to HTTPS.
 * If that’s still looping, what is the content of your .htaccess file?

 * first of all, thank you for replying)
 * i reset both siteurl and home back to NON-HTTPS and loop was happening..
 * I then was able to pinpoint some of that weird behavior to certain plugin (better-
   wp-security), as soon as I disable plugin, no infinite loop..

 * and on top of all that, even after i deactivated that plugin, i now cannot switch
   site back to http instead of https, even though after i update url site remains
   in https…

 * Check your wp-config.php file and theme functions.php files and make sure you
   aren’t also doing [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Edit_wp-config.php](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Edit_wp-config.php)
