The URLs in Settings->General are definitely HTTP and have been for some time.

I already downloaded the database and changed all the relevant references from https to http.

I think maybe the database import hasn’t affected the live site. There are some hard links in there that I definitely changed from https to http and they’re still https on the live site. I exported the database and checked it and the changes are there.

Time to call GoDaddy…

But I need to ask something explicitly: When WordPress generates a link for a blog entry subject to a category, how does it decide if the link will be http or https?

Ahh… Good idea.

Would this work?

RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I don’t want to have to revoke the certificate. This is on GoDaddy.

Why would it matter? If I’m not redirecting to HTTPS links (in .htaccess or somewhere else) why would WordPress do it?

I made all the changes and successfully imported the .sql file. I flushed the cache. It’s about 5 minutes later and I still have all the https links I had before. Is there something else I need to do? I assumed this would be fairly quick

Is there maybe something in the file system root that could be responsible?

Yeah, I’m sure I screwed up the migration and I’m paying for it now. If this fix works I can try to do it right next time, but I still suspect dudamobile.

I’m in the middle of wptweaks’s brute force method. It’s going to take a while but I’m approving or denying each replace.

I’ll let you all know how it goes.
