 * First off, Let’s fix your 404 error you need to set a redirect 301 in your root
   website and find .htaccess file and now open it and remove all codes in it and
   put this code instead
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
   
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
       RewriteRule ^ https://{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
   
       RewriteRule !^wordpress/ wordpress%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]
       ```
   
 * Secondly, If I understood you correctly You are looking to switch your wordpress
   website to https:// instead of http:// ?
 * If that is the case I need you to go to your website ftp again then go to /wordpress/
   folder and find .htaccess and open it then remove all the code lines you have
   there and put this instead:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /wordpress/
   
       RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on
       RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
   
       # BEGIN WordPress
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * I see some images not working on your https address, so to fix that You also 
   need to install and activate this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-http/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-http/)
 * That’s it!
 * Let me know if you need further assistance.

 * There are 2 databases in my wordpress. I change the site and home url in both
   databases (1) wordpress_b28 (2) newmail. I go to the cpanel > database> wordpress_b28
   > wp_options > Edit(siteurl) > then type [https://www.carastore4u.com](https://www.carastore4u.com),
   click go. Here,blogname is My CMS. I change the home url in same manner.
    I go
   to cpanel > database > newmail > wp_options > Edit(siteurl) > type [https://www.carastore4u.com,click](https://www.carastore4u.com,click)
   go. Then do the same with home url. Here,blog name is carastore4u. In my dashboard
   > setting > general>wordpress addressurl and site address url is [http://www.carastore4u.com](http://www.carastore4u.com).
   I want to open my website with https. For that i had installed Really Simple 
   ssl plugin. When i update wordpress,I deactivate and activate all plgins togather.
   When i enable the Really Simple ssl plugin, the whole problem start.I can’t access
   to wordpress dashboard and website,error is 500 Internal Server Error.So i uninstall
   the ssl plugin by cpanel and change new .htaccess file etc.But problem is not
   solved. them my host solved it. Now dashboard is open properly but website is
   not. Now i want to open my website with https without any plugin. So I remove
   all the code from .htaccess file and paste the second (for https) code. But the
   error is not fixed. So I tried the first code,it is not worked. Then i paste 
   basic wp code (.htaccess) with first code. But all are not worked.I check the
   website on Chrome and Firefox browser.Please help.

   is hosted on WordPress.com, where security is taken care of for you. It’s not
   possible to install your own security plugins there. If you need help with a 
   self-hosted WordPress site running on your own hosting, please start your own

 * Open Cpanel then go to your website file manager > click public_html folder on
   your left hand side then find .htaccess and make sure you delete all code inside.
   htaccess and put this code instead:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RedirectMatch 301 ^/$ /wordpress/
       ```

 * [@sara241](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sara241/) Since you are using 
   windows plesk panel, you can login through here: [http://www.carastore4u.com:8880](http://www.carastore4u.com:8880)
   Then find and click on Domains then File manager and click on your website and
   then inside httpdocs there should be the .htaccess file and if you can’t find
   it create new file (check this tutorial: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=69&v=2kT40Wj2SUY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=69&v=2kT40Wj2SUY))
   and add the following code:
 * `redirect 301 / https://www.carastore4u.com/wordpress/`
 * If the code above does not work try this one:
 * `redirect 301 / http://www.carastore4u.com/wordpress/`

   website (My CMS) is open.My website looks like this before i remove /wordpress
   from domain name. After removing /wordpress from domain,my website is open with
   [http://www.carastore4u.com](http://www.carastore4u.com) (carastore4u not My 
   CMS).I have tried all your code in .htaccess file, but error 404 not gone. So

 * Don’t change .htaccess in wordpress folder!!!!! You restore it go to wp-admin
   > Permalinks and click update button it will update your .htaccess file or use
   this:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```

   changed.
