Via FTP or your hosting control panel’s file manager app, delete the plugin you just added by removing its directory in wp-content/plugins.
Before I walk you through switching to SSL, have you actually installed a valid SSL certificate on your hosting?

Thanks a lot! I have deleted the plug-in.
What I do have is “Let’s encrypt” which may probably not be the “real” SSL?
Let’s Encrypt is real SSL. I use it on dozens of sites.
Assuming you installed LE for your domain on your host, install the plugin “better search replace”. Then (1) disable any caching and optimization plugins you may be using and (2) use the plugin to search for http://example.com and replace with https://example.com.
This will log you out, so log back in, verify the site, delete “better search replace”, and re-enable caching and optimization.

Thanks again for helping. What I missed to say id that I installed WP in a folder wanting to set it to main site when set up. And I have no longer access to WP in that folder where I assume you would like me to install “bsr. Or am I missing more?
OK, first focus on getting the site working and active as an http site.

Well it did, but as the “genius” I am I messed it all up with installing that plug-in. I guess it would just be easier to delete the whole lot including db and wp content. I hadn’t come very far, just set up different pages, logos and stuff.
Thanks again))…
