Remove .htaccess redirect on site lockout

To solve this you have to remove the rewrite rule from your .htaccess file.

  1. Open your ftp client (for example filezilla)
  2. In the root of your website, look for the .htaccess file. If you cannot find it, make sure filezilla shows hidden files
  3. Open it in a texteditor, and look for # BEGIN rlrssslReallySimpleSSL
  4. Remove all lines between # BEGIN and # END, and save
  5. Prevent Really Simple SSL from editing the htaccess any further:
    1. Look for wp-config.php in the root of your site.
    2. Open the wp-config, and add at the top, but after  “<?php":
      define( 'RLRSSSL_DO_NOT_EDIT_HTACCESS', TRUE );
