Hi there, I should have known better.
I accidentally updated the URL in the Wordpress admin prior to adding SSL to my droplet.
Now I cannot access any of the Wordpress backend.
How can I either revert the URL back to non HTTPS via SSH or another way?
Done a ton of research online, but ultimately have not been successful in accessing the WP CONFIG via SSH.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi @lukebdcd5b91a1e99b537b20fd,
Before you make any changes, I’ll recommend creating a snapshot:

Once that is done and you have a backup, you can use wp-cli. WP-CLI is the command-line interface for WordPress. You can update plugins, configure multisite installations and much more, without using a web browser.
First, to install WP-CLI:
Navigate to your WordPress directory
where /var/www/example.com/ is the path to your website’s home directory. Once in there, create a DB backup running
then do a test run
If everything looks good, you can run in without the --dry-run option:
Of course, remember to change example.com with your own domain name.
