Can't remove HTTPS back to HTTP

  • Hi

    This is a bit of a weird one. I’m using the Newspaper theme and I check the system status and noticed that there is a problem with my site setup:

    WP Home URL i
    https://www.type1active.com
    WP Site URL i
    https://www.type1active.com

    I’ve checked the general WP settings, .htacess and wp-config.php files and everything there is showing as normal. Is there anywhere else I can check why the WP Site URL is still forcing https?

    Thanks

    Clare

    I’ve moved this to “How-To and Troubleshooting” as it’s not an installation problem.

    *Looks*

    It’s complicated. You’re using Cloudflare and that may also be contributing to it. Also while your WordPress Address and Site URL may be http your database content should still be https in all the references.

    Give this a read.

    You haven’t moved exactly but you did. Sort of. ??

    Your URLs in your database for your posts and pages have to be changed from https://www.type1active.com/ to https://www.type1active.com/ and you may need to do some configuration with Cloudflare.

    Hi Jan

    Thanks for putting this in the right area of the forum, I wasn’t too sure! I’ve tried a couple of the suggestions from the link you shared, including using the plugins Velvet Blues Update URLs, Better Search Replace and Search and Replace for WordPress Databases Script.

    Sadly I’m still non the wiser. I’ve taken a look at my CloudFlare settings and can’t see anything there that is any different from another site I’m hosting with the same theme that is working fine – see https://www.polepurpose.com

    Maybe I’m just not seeing the fault. I wonder if there is any way to copy the settings from https://www.polepurpose.com to https://www.type1active.com to try and resolve this issue that way? I’ve already compared wp-config and htacess files as well as the CloudFlare settings.

    Thanks again

    Interestingly, I am able to make everything https with “Better Search Replace”. If after using this plugin I then try and change everything back to http then “home” and the “site” URL’s don’t match again. hmm….
