wordpress down after changing http to https

I bought and installed SSL certificate on the server. After that, I went to WordPress admin settings/general and changed Site Address and WordPress Address from HTTP to HTTPS. At this point, when trying to save, I got logged out twice and had to log in again. The site stopped working. I get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT when I try both HTTP and https address.

Here is what I have tried so far. Nothing is working. Is there anything else I can do?

In config I added, with my site's address:

define('WP_HOME','http://example.com'); 
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

Changing .htaccess file to:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

I made sure that config file does not include:

define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true);
define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);

I disabled all plugins by changing the name of the plugin folder. I edited wp_options table to make sure it only includes the HTTP address.

The site is still impossible to access. Any other suggestions?

Change 

define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’); 
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’);

to:

define('WP_HOME','https://example.com'); 
define('WP_SITEURL','https://example.com');

otherwise wordpress will loop between http and https forever.
