(For reference, my website is “franklincodes.com”. Feel free to take a look there to help me troubleshoot)
So I’m trying to log in to wordpress admin so I can make changes to my website. However, when I enter in my login information, I get this message :

On the lock icon near the website domain name, I see a warning sign saying that my connection to the site isn’t secure and I need a certificate. My regular website does have a certificate though.
I’ve asked people about this who’ve told me that the problem is that my website is sending out requests in HTTP, but the requests should be encrypted first in HTTPS.
I would like to change my website’s message requests to HTTPS, but since I can’t even log in to my wp-admin, I can’t make those changes.
What should I do?

It is because your actual URL is [https://www.franklincodes.com/](https://www.franklincodes.com/) and you dont have redirects setup.
If you can’t log into the admin , you can change your websites domain via the database directly, in the wp_options table, `siteurl` and `home` rows.
Note that if you built your site without https, you will also need to update all your url references, as they will contain http links. You can do that with a plugin called Better Search Replace.
