 * hi, you can change the URL from PHPMyAdmin. just go to your database then options
   table and change “siteurl” and “home”. after that go to .htaccess and remove 
   these lines of code if exists. something’s like this:
 *     ```
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE] 
       ```
   
 * if you have a force SSL plugin, you need to disable or remove that too.

 * Hello You Wonderful Yo,

   > org is no longer with the company.
 * For the record, your website is not “registered with WordPress.org” in any way.
   At best, the person might have come to WordPress.org, downloaded the WordPress
   software, and installed it on their own hosting server… but that’s all. WordPress
   sites are not “registered” with WordPress.org in any way, and WordPress.org has
   no control over your website.
 * To be able to revert the site from HTTPS or HTTP, you’ll need to first access
   your hosting company’s control panel. Once you have access, follow one of the
   options on this page to effect the change: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/)
 * (Note that rather than changing HTTPS to HTTP, it might be better to instead 
   fix the problem with HTTPS so you can keep the secure version of the site running.)
 * From a public analysis of your website, I can see it is using Google Cloud’s 
   name servers, so it appears to be hosted with Google Cloud. But the server IP
   address returned belongs to Incapsula, so it also appears to be using Incapsula’s
   CDN or WAF… so this HTTPS misconfiguration could as well be happening elsewhere
   outside your WordPress website and server. Both Google Cloud and Incapsula are
   paid services, so you can always follow the money trail to find out who can give
   you access to your control panel.
 * Good luck, and stay safe!
