Now that I have access to my website again, is there any way I can get the plugin to work so that I can finally have an HTTPS URL?
when I downloaded the plugin, my WordPress did not automatically recognize it, then I tried to go to the settings of the plugin and do it from there but it got stuck in a step called generation. It gave me the reason that there were too many failed attempts or something along that line.
Is there any way I can obtain an SSL certificate and https with minimal risk of losing access to my website again?
That worked great! Thank you @rogier
update: using this https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/when-the-built-in-deactivation-does-not-work-manual-uninstalling/
So I actually just went ahead and did the changes to the .htaccess file and then checked wp-config.php didn’t have any lines of really simple SSL, then added this to my functions.php file:
update_option( 'siteurl', 'http://example.com' ); update_option( 'home', 'http://example.com' );and cleared my history and when I use my website URL now, it now gives me a WordPress error page that says:
“There has been a critical error on this website.Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.”
I am now trying to do step 4b) “https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Changing_The_Site_URL. Scroll down to Changing the URL directly in the database and follow the instructions.”
I am not sure how to access PHPMyAdmin from my file manager- This reply was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by wordturtle.

hi @mark, thank you for answering, the thing is that I can’t access the site’s admin area, when I enter the URL of the website, it just says, “This site can’t provide a secure connection”.
I also found this link, https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/uninstall-websitebackend-not-accessible/, in another post and followed its instructions but it also did not do anything. I then saw a post that said deleting the whole plugin file helped them gain access to their website again and after doing this, it also did not grant me access to the website. It continues to just show, “This site can’t provide a secure connection”.
However, I just noticed there is another link in the original one you sent about the manual uninstall, I would like to try this, however, I deleted the plugin file in my file manager, should I redownload it and upload it to the file manager or how can I do the steps in this manual uninstall?

Update
Note: I did not change the URL yet when this happened, I believe it should still be an HTTP, I have already tried adding these lines to my wp_config.php file and uploaded it to my file manager
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://example.com’ );
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://example.com’ );
#with my URL instead of example, and without the s in HTTPS in the codeI also added these lines in my function.php
update_option(‘siteurl’, ‘http://example.com’ );
update_option(‘home’, ‘http://example.com’ );
#I mirrored whether or not I added an s to the http in this code to the lines above, so like the http’s in all four of these code lines are the same.after this I still can’t access my website, how can I access my website again?
