 * Hi, I have two questions regarding what happens if I deactivate the plugin in
   settings…
 * 1. If somebody types the http version of the site, will they still be redirected
   to https?
    2. In case I get mixed content and other errors after deactivation,
   will reactivating the plugin revert the site to the working version (as prior
   to deactivation)?
 * I was reading your article [https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/can-deactivate-really-simple-ssl-activating-ssl/](https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/can-deactivate-really-simple-ssl-activating-ssl/)
   but I don’t know what these mean…
    - If you use wp redirect for redirection, this won’t work anymore
    - The SSL redirect on rest_api redirect won’t be active anymore
    - Thanks!

 * Hi [@lauratraveler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lauratraveler/),
 * 1) If you enabled the .htaccess redirect, that will stay in place.
    2) Yes, you
   can always activate it again.
