 * Dear all,
 * My curiosity has brought me an issue with my website. I haven’t used my website
   for a while and was updating it lately. My website is a http website, and I am
   planning to move it to https (although I’m yet not sure how to tackle that).
 * In my curiosity, I wanted to see what would happen if I would change the link
   in the settings from ‘**http**://sannesteen.nl’ to ‘**https**://sannesteen.nl’.
   I know what happens now: the website stops working. When navigating to my website
   I get a white screen, although this morning I got a message that the website 
   is unsafe and I could proceed (in the meantime I did not change anything). When
   I go my WP-admin page, I get the following message:
 * “Not Found
    The requested URL /wp-admin was not found on this server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.”
 * Thus, I cannot fix the link in WP-admin. Does anyone have experience with this,
   or know an alternative way to go to my website settings to change the link?
 * Thank you very much.
    Best regards, Sanne

   to see the link]_

 * Fix it by overriding the changes you made in wp-config.php: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#wp_siteurl](https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#wp_siteurl)
