# WordPress Multisite keeps redirecting to HTTPS

 * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-multisite-keeps-redirecting-to-https/)
 * I would like to create a local development environment from my production, multisite,
   WordPress website. I have used the Migrate DB plugin with the following search
   and replace settings:
 * >  //domain.com -> //domain.local
   >  [https://domain.com](https://domain.com) -> [http://domain.local](http://domain.local)
   >  [https://domain.local](https://domain.local) -> [http://domain.local](http://domain.local)
   >  /data/sites/web/domain.com -> /var/www/html
 * Now it works all fine, locally, but **without** multisite enabled. As soon as
   Multisite is enabled it still tries to redirect me to HTTPS.
 * So as soon as I enable these settings in wp_config.php, I am not able to login
   at `http://domain.local/wp-admin` anymore:
 * 
    define(‘MULTISITE’, true); define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false); define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’,‘
   domain.local’); define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’); define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’,
   1); define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
 * And it redirects me from [http://domain.local/wp-admin](http://domain.local/wp-admin)
   to [https://domain.local/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdomain.local%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](https://domain.local/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdomain.local%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
   which causes an **ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED**
 * Any ideas what this is causing? Further I tried:
    - empty all `active_plugins` cells in every `wp_options` table (so also for 
      every subsite), so there should not be any active.
    - Add `define('WP_CACHE', false);` at the top of wp_config.php
 * Not sure if there could be any other setting specifically for https in Multisites.
   As I just told, without multisite enabled in `wp-config.php` I am able to reach
   [http://domain.local/wp-admin](http://domain.local/wp-admin), but with multisite
   enabled I am not and it’s trying to redirect me to an https domain which results
   in an error.
 * **EDIT:**
 * I seem to have found the issue, I have moved all plugins to a separate folder(
   temporarily) and now the website works. I am able to reach wp-admin without any
   issues. So a plugin still seem to be the problem, even though I have disabled
   all plugins via the database.
