 * Hi,
    This plugin is really helpful unless I tried deactivating it because it 
   is not updated from 8 months.
 * After I deactivate the plugin, I cannot access the Admin which some error message
   like “redirect loop”. After my web hosting support reactivated it everything 
   seems fine.
 * I also checked .htaccess but its normal.
 * Is there any way to deactivate this plugin without loosing access to WordPress
   Admin?
 * Will you update this plugin and fix the error?
 * I would rather like to try SSL Insecure Content Filter plugin if possible!

 * I’m not sure why you need to deactivate in the first place, was it not working?

 * Its working once activated but after I deactivate it I loose access to my WordPress
   Admin.
 * I don’t like to use it anymore but there is no other option. It is something 
   like this plugin is forcefully making us to use it!
 * Why don’t you fix this bug with a new update?

 * I think you don’t understand how it works, which is perfectly ok. But not understanding
   how it works doesn’t mean that the plugin is forcing you to do anything. If you
   delete the plugin, then it’s not having any effect on your site => therefore 
   not causing a problem in and of itself.
 * This plugin is 1 part of a larger solution, outlined here:
    [https://www.icontrolwp.com/blog/enabling-cloudflares-universal-flexible-ssl-wordpress-without-infinite-redirect-loops/](https://www.icontrolwp.com/blog/enabling-cloudflares-universal-flexible-ssl-wordpress-without-infinite-redirect-loops/)
 * So follow the guide there, but do it in reverse and you should be able to get
   your site back to non-ssl. When I say do it in reverse you must **undo each setting**
   but starting from the **last step and working backwards**.
