    What is the difference between “Deactivate and use HTTP” and “Deactive”? What specific settings will be left when I click “Deactivate” and where? In HTACCESS or somewhere else?

    Hi @letoniusz,

    When you enable SSL in the plugin, this will perform the following changes:

    – Add fixes to the wp-config.php (if necessary).
    – On Apache servers (and only if you enabled the .htaccess 301 redirect option), a HTTPS redirect in the .htaccess file
    – Update the Site and Home URL to https.
    – Dynamically fix Mixed Content (so, these changes will no longer occur if the plugin is disabled)

    Using the Deactivate and use HTTP option will revert all of these changes and moves the site back to https://, whereas using the “Keep HTTPS” option will leave the items that are necessary for the site to keep working over HTTPS (but not the mixed content fixer).

    Kind regards, Jarno

    Thanks for the quick response. So what else does the plugin leave in addition to site url (https) in the WordPress settings when I click “Keep https” if I use standard “php redirection” in Simple SSL settings? I don’t want to leave a mess when I remove the plugin.

    Hi @letoniusz,

    As mentioned in my post above, using the Deactivate and use HTTP option reverts all of the mentioned changes in order to move the site back to https://.

    Kind regards, Jarno
