    Hi,
    Am a web designer for a site. Admin had added an SSL certificate, asked me to update the site address in wordpress. When I did this in settings/general (added the “s” to https), the site now automatically redirects to another one of our websites on the same server, and I have no way to access WP-admin. Help!

    Hi,

    Sounds like your Web server isn’t listening to the ssl port 443 which is for ssl. It might be that your Admin didn’t install the ssl properly for the domain. So http does the job and directs to the right directory on the server but https directs any https domain to the main first domain that was created on the server since it wasn’t told what domains go to what directory on the server under ssl request.

    Hope that makes sense. Simply put, Web server be that apache or nginx isn’t configured right. Httpd.conf or even vhost stuff needs to be checked and corrected.

    Thank you,
    Artur
