HTTPS back to HTTP
Well I have managed to totally screw up my website and I am hoping I can get some help. I originally wanted to have my contact form submissions to be secure so I got an SSI certificate. Not knowing what I was doing I ended up making the entire site secure. This lasted a few months until I decided to try and change things back to http. I went into wordpress and under settings --> General, changed both "wordpress address" and "site address" to http by taking off the (s) that was there before.
About a day or so later my website dropped from the rankings. From what I have been able to gather is that having an entire site as https is very bad SEO wise. So I need to first, make sure that my site is back to http only and then use 301 redirects for all of the old https urls to the proper http urls. The problem is I don't know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
