 * Hey there.
 * I’m trying to figure out how to change from https to http on a wordpress hosted
   site. Every solution I’ve found on Google involves changing things in the editor
   or certain options in General Settings that I don’t have access to for some reason.
   Since WordPress is the host, I assume they must have some other way to make changes
   like these but they aren’t obvious and I can’t find solutions anywhere. I’m also
   a huge dummy.
 * Help a brother out,
    Patrick

 * Where is your site hosted? If you are on a host where you can not access the 
   files you should still be able to access wp-admin and make changes there but 
   this is sometimes a change that is made in the htaccess file.

 * The host is Automattic. I can access wp-admin just fine and the account is an
   administrator account. How would I access the htaccess file? I’m not sure where
   to find it.

 * Last I checked they do not allow you access to the files and you need to contact
   them regarding changing the site from HTTPS to HTTP.
