 * Hello All…
    I am hoping someone can offer some suggestions of how best to proceed.
   I have an online store powered by wordpress (hosted by Dreampress) and woocommerce.
   In order to appear more professional I invested in a security certificate to 
   make the site more secure but ever since making this change my wordpress install
   has been behaving very oddly. Among the problems I’ve experienced are… 1. When
   I hit update on a product I’ve amended, my dashboard disappears and I get sent
   to my sites page not found page, if I simply refresh the page I am returned to
   my product admin page with a note that my page has updated. 2. When I try to 
   publish a new product page, I get a page that mixes my dashboard page and page
   not found page making the whole thing unreadable. Again a refresh once or twice
   and it eventually goes through as it should. 3. When adding related products 
   to product variations the suggestion box that pops up with items that feature
   the letters I’ve typed just says loading failed. If I repeat the process three
   or four times it eventually works as it should. 4. When trying to remove an individual
   variation I get ‘things are happening’ swirling circle but then nothing. It just
   keeps spinning. Unfortunately I am not terribly technically minded so I have 
   no idea if this is an issue with wordpress and woocommerce, some setup issue 
   I have created when adding the extra security, an issue with the installation
   made by Dreamhost or issues with my browser. Is there anyway (by use of a plugin,
   or a debug type deal) that I can check the site automatically that will highlight
   any errors so I can at least start to move towards fixing things. While the issues
   don’t appear to have affected the frontend of the site, it has made adding new
   content very difficult. Any suggestions, expressions of sympathy, hilarity emoticons
   much appreciated.

 * When you changed to HTTPS, how did you update the database?
 * On DreamPress, we have wp-cli, so you can run this command: `wp search-replace
   http://mydomain.com https://mydomain.com` and that will change the whole database.
 * I **STRONGLY** recommend making a DB backup first: `wp db export`
