通过.htaccess的HTTPS到HTTP重定向

Question

I have a website hosted on a GoDaddy wordpress hosting. We had an SSL, but not longer have the SSL. Google archive some pages with the SSL so I just want to redirect https requests to the http version of the sit.e I have access to the .htaccess file so I figured that was the best way to do it.

I have been searching around and tried tons of different .htaccess redirects, but none of them are working. Including this https to http 301 redirect via htaccess . I know the htaccess is functioning because wordpress is working and I added a few test redirects to it and they worked as well.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Wordpress has its own redirect procedure.

Check in the General Settings of you WP Panel for the WordPress Address and the Site Address fields. Make sure they both are non ssl absolute paths.

Another thing to check is on the wp-config.php

define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);

That could have been added by another plugin. Remove it or make it false.

One last thing you could try (not the best option) is to ask google to remove those specific links, here's a reference for that.

I hope this helps.
