Title: Site disappeared after switch to https Last modified: April 18, 2018 --- # Site disappeared after switch to https * [marionkummerow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionkummerow/) * (@marionkummerow) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-disappeared-after-switch-to-https/) * I switched on the https yesterday, but it went horribly wrong, because my site now disappeared completely. * I cannot login to fix this, because also the login page is not accessible anymore [https://kummerow.info/wp-login](https://kummerow.info/wp-login) * What can I do to get back into my wordpress dashboard to undo the https switch and have my website live again? * Thanks, * Marion - This topic was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by [marionkummerow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionkummerow/).

What steps did you take to make it work and what encryption method? * Thread Starter [marionkummerow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionkummerow/) * (@marionkummerow) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-disappeared-after-switch-to-https/#post-10193215) * I went into the settings and simply entered [https://kummerow.info](https://kummerow.info) where it say website url. It probably was a stupid thing to do. * When I tried it it didn’t work and I switched it off again. But apparently the switch-back to http didn’t get saved, because everything redirects to https and I cannot access anything anymore. - This reply was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by [marionkummerow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionkummerow/). * [nursemm05](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nursemm05/) * (@nursemm05) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-disappeared-after-switch-to-https/#post-10193327) * I came here with the same problem! I found a help article that said to force SSL I needed to add the “s” at http so I did, then I got a message saying I was inactive and needed to log back in. Now I can’t get to the log in screen to change it. I’ve looked and looked for a way to contact WP directly so they could hopefully fix it and nothing. Hope someone finds a fix soon! * Thread Starter [marionkummerow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionkummerow/) * (@marionkummerow) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-disappeared-after-switch-to-https/#post-10193376) * Oh. Sorry this happened to you too. Hope there’s something to do other than a complete re-install of the wordpress instance. * [helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/) * (@helldog2018) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-disappeared-after-switch-to-https/#post-10193454) * Hi [@marionkummerow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionkummerow/), * Easiest way to integrate https:// is by using the [Really Simple SSL](https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/) plug-in. * Keep the URL to kummerow.info without the https:// and without the www. I think problem will be solved then. * Also I hope you are still alowed to enter your administrator part? Else you need to edit this within your database, no reïnstall needed. * Thread Starter [marionkummerow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionkummerow/) * (@marionkummerow) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-disappeared-after-switch-to-https/#post-10193477) * Hi [@helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/) the problem is I cannot enter the admin part either. The login page is gone too… * So how do I access my database? (Sorry if this is obvious, but I never did this before.) * [helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/) * (@helldog2018) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-disappeared-after-switch-to-https/#post-10193506) * Hi [@marionkummerow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionkummerow/), * Let’s try the easiest part first by resetting the URL via functions.php: - Download fuctions.php from your FTP program (wp-content/themes/{your theme}/ functions.php) - Add the following lines just after
