How can I remove HTTPS from my url's and return them to HTTP? How to apply SSL to ONE page only?

by magentawave Posted: 8 years ago 5 replies

I installed the Really Simple SSL plugin and now ALL of my pages have a little yellow "CONNECTION NOT SECURE" warning icon in the address bar. The problem is that this is visible on every page of every site in the entire cpanel. I deactivated the plugin and deleted it and still have the same problem. I contacted the developer of the plugin but who knows when he will get back to me. (I know my SSL Certificate is current for this domain.)

TWO QUESTIONS PLEASE:

1) Does anyone know how I can get my site back to the way it was BEFORE I installed that plugin? I just want all of my urls to go back to being http instead of https and I don't want that yellow "connection not secure" warning in the address bar that is no doubt scaring away visitors as I type this.

2) Does anyone know how to apply the SSL Certificate to just one page of a Wordpress site, the checkout page, instead of to the entire site?

Thank you.

P.S. If this is the wrong category to post this then please tell me before you delete this so I can copy it and start the thread in the correct place - and then I promise to delete this myself. I swear! :-)

Thank you.

1) It may happen because of cache histroy and for that you have to try different browser for visiting your website or clean browser history of current browser. Checkout the same isssue which has already resolved here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/...after-deleting

2) Checkout this post to enable ssl certificate on single page.

  As far as getting the site back to where it was, I'm guessing that the plugin left something behind in the database or .htaccess file. Search the db for an https redirect and remove it AFTER you export a backup of your db. Do the same thing with your .htaccess files. Don't even think of editing those before you back them up.
  
  As far as applying https to one page in a WordPress site there must be a way but I spent a lot of time with experts on an htaccess forum and they never gave me a solution that worked. (I had a page with a select list of aWeber subscriptions and it wouldn't work with https. I had to install a second WordPress instance in a subfolder and use that for the non-https page.
  I really think that if the checkout page has to be https then the whole site will need to be https. There are sites that will guide you through removing the warning and getting the lock symbol- Google 'why no padlock'.

If you are using WordPress make sure your site setup in settings is http and not https. To call a single page securly hou will need to create a custom url using https://yourdomain.com/page In the menus you can set custom URLs.

  Are you referring to the WP Admin > Settings > General > WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) boxes where we type in the URL?
  
  If so, I read several places that I'm supposed to change the URL in those two boxes from http to https. What are you saying?
