 * I’m trying to force my website redirect from HTTPS to HTTP.
    I have this code
   in my htacces
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On	
   
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * And i already added the following pieces (none worked so far…)
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
       ```
   
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
            RewriteRule .* http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
       ```
   
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
            RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
       ```
   
 * Any ideas?

 * I have tried this, and https is still not redirecting to http.
    Any other ideas?
 * Here is what I have:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       Options +FollowSymlinks
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
       RewriteRule .* http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index1.php [L]

 * I have the same problem. It’s not redirecting from https to http. I have this:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       # END WordPress
   
       # force all URLs from https to http
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^blog\. [NC]
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
       RewriteRule ^ https://blog.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
       </IfModule>
       ```
