# Really Simple SSL Plugin Error – SSL Redirect

 * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/really-simple-ssl-plugin-error-ssl-redirect/)
 * I am working on the website [http://globalrestaurantsource.com](http://globalrestaurantsource.com)
   using WordPress. I downloaded the Really Simple SSL Plugin prior to purchasing
   an SSL certificate.
 * I then learned I would have to get a CPanel hosting account through GoDaddy in
   order to use a 3rd party SSL Cert I purchased. So I am in limbo waiting on them
   to get my new CPanel hosting account ready.
 * In the meantime, yesterday I have 2 plugins pending updates in WordPress, 1 for
   Really Simple SSL Plugin and 1 for All-in-one WP Security and Firewall.
 * The moment that these finished updating these plugins I was unable to access 
   my site. Whenever I try to go to my login URL (I changed it from default using
   the All-In-One WP Security and Firewall plugin) I get redirected from [http://globalrestaurantsource.com](http://globalrestaurantsource.com)
   to [https://globalrestaurantsource.com](https://globalrestaurantsource.com) and
   I get error messages. On Chrome, I get:
 * > “SSL connection error
   > ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR”
 * On Firefox I get,
 * > “Secure Connection Failed
   > An error occurred during a connection to globalrestaurantsource.com. SSL received
   > a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
   >  – The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity
   > of the received data could not be verified.
   >  – Please contact the website owners
   > to inform them of this problem.”
 * I have tried disabling my plugins and using [http://globalrestaurantsource.com/wp-admin](http://globalrestaurantsource.com/wp-admin)
   as the login URL with no luck.
 * I have since used my FTP manager and restored all of my .php files to several
   days before there was any issue with the site.
 * Yesterday after the update I could view the homepage, but the pictures were broken,
   as if it was having trouble communicating with my databases. Today the homepage
   just redirects me to the SSL error as well.
 * Any ideas as to what I could do? I am panicking that I will not be able to access
   the site at all, especially because I restored it all to a date when it worked
   and it still seems broken. This makes me think it has something to do with the
   wpconfig file, which I have since restored to a previous date with no luck.
 * When I try to restore EVERY file it tells me I do not have access. The one directory
   I cannot restore is called Stats.
 * Thanks, any help is majorly appreciated.
 * EDIT: I have since noticed that my stats directory is now missing. I cannot create
   a new directory for stats either. When I try, it says “File not found.”. Very
   strange, surely this is the culprit.
