Note: We will use an EC2 instance as an example. However, it is identical to the majority of hosting service providers such as GoDaddy, HostGator, Bluehost, and others.

To make changes to your wp-config.php file. Please follow the procedures below.

1. Using FileZilla, connect to your EC2 instance.
2. Find the wp-config.php file in your root directory, which is most likely in the subfolder /bitnami/wordpress.
3. Open the wp-config.php in your favorite Text Editor.
4. Find the below line
   wp-config.php

   Copied

   

   define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/' );
   define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/' );
   

5. Replace http with https
   wp-config.php

   Copied

   

   define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/' );
   define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/' );
   

6. Now, upload the edited wp-config.php file back to the server.

Congratulation
