 * The admin side of my wordpress site is stuck in HTTPS and very slow as a result.
   
   I am trying to set the admin to HTTP. (reposting from [stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27209815/wordpress-admin-stuck-in-https-how-to-turn-in-off))
   Here is my setup and what I’ve tried so far.
 * – Godaddy VPS with Godaddy SSL certificate
    – In wp-config.php I have: `define('
   FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', false );` – Tried installing the wordpress-https plugin (this
   plugin). The admin https checkbox is greyed out / disabled. See my settings here:
   [http://i.stack.imgur.com/oQkX9.png](http://i.stack.imgur.com/oQkX9.png) – Check
   httpd.conf and htaccess files for any rewrites – none found. – Server does have
   Vernish installed – asked Godaddy support to check for any relevant configs in
   Varnish. None found. – I have tried commenting out code in wp-includes/functions.
   php based on [suggestion here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-enabled-by-default-for-loginadmin-how-to-remove?replies=17)(
   see comment by user joelbair). – I always flush caches, and sometimes reboot 
   the VPS completely after making changes.
 * Any suggestions?
    Could it be related to SSL signing certificates or how SSL 
   was installed on the server initially?
