 * Hi,
 * I had this old WordPress installation and the hosting company asked me to update
   it which i did.
 * I have updated WordPress to 6.5 and had to update lot’s of plugins obviously.
 * The path was still http and i chaned it in the settings to https…
 * And as expected the troubles began. Trying to launch the website gets me ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
 * So I am trying to revert all back to http but how..
 * The url is not in the config file anymore and i read it should be in the options
   table in the database.
 * In the database is see siteurl and home but both without the http or https, it
   is just mydomain.org.
 * How can i get it all back to http, where to change this?
 * Thank you in advance,
 * Roger

 * To revert your WordPress site back to HTTP from HTTPS, you’ll need to make changes
   in both the WordPress settings and possibly the database. Here’s a step-by-step
   guide:
 * **Update WordPress Settings**:
    - Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
    - Go to Settings > General.
    - In the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) fields, remove the “
      [https://&#8221](https://&#8221); and leave only “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221);.
    - Save the changes.
 * **Check .htaccess File**:
    - Sometimes, redirects are defined in the .htaccess file. If you find any HTTPS-
      related redirects, remove or comment them out.
 *  - **Database Check and Edit**:
 *  - Log in to your hosting account’s control panel.
    - Access phpMyAdmin or any other database management tool.
    - Select your WordPress database.
    - Look for the `wp_options` table (the table prefix might vary if you’ve changed
      it during WordPress installation).
    - Find the rows with `siteurl` and `home`.
    - Edit the `siteurl` and `home` values, removing “[https://&#8221](https://&#8221);
      and leaving only “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221);.
 * **Clear Browser Cache**:
    - After making these changes, clear your browser cache and cookies or try accessing
      the site in a private browsing window to ensure you’re not encountering cached
      redirects.
 * **Plugin or Theme Issues**:
    - If the issue persists, it’s possible that a plugin or theme is causing the
      redirects. Try disabling plugins or switching to a default WordPress theme
      temporarily to troubleshoot.
 * **Server Configuration**:
    - If your server has any redirects configured at the server level (e.g., in 
      Apache or Nginx configuration files), you may need to adjust those as well.
 * **Testing**:
    - After making these changes, try accessing your site again. If the redirects
      have been removed successfully, you should no longer encounter the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
      error.
