    Hi @tanyad1,

    I am sorry to hear that you wish to deactivate Really Simple SSL.

    When deactivating the plugin, it will ask you to keep HTTPS, or to revert back to HTTPS. With the latter, all options will be deleted.

    Please do let us know if you stopped using the plugin because you experienced any issues.

    Kind regards,
    Leon

    Hi, I’m confused as you said “it will ask you to keep HTTPS, or to revert back to HTTPS” . can you please clarify?

    A typo: Reverting will be to http.
    So keep https, or revert to http.

    You will see when clicking the deactivate link.

    Hi, ??
    An odd situation experienced with a site which has SSL on it, on uninstalling Really Simple SSL it was a finger fehler when choosing “revert to http”. After the uninstall, the htaccess file still had Really Simple SSL directives and comment headers for the following, which I removed:

    `<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
    </IfModule>`

    The entire htaccess file now has that block above this:

    `# BEGIN WordPress
    # The directives (lines) between “BEGIN WordPress” and “END WordPress” are
    # dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
    # Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress`

    The site landing page itself still shows, however, the files that were accessed via the htaccess rules are not available anymore- is it possible there now exists a WP misconfiguration?
    Thanks.

    I would first try to go to settings/permalinks, and re-save the settings. This should re-write the htaccess lines, and flush the permalinks.

    Please also check if your browser cache has been flushed.

    Thanks Roger, it works at the ABSPATH level, (should have checked it before, apologies). It also worked in some subdirectories before Really Simple SSL, no idea why it stopped working after. Will have to chain the htaccess in the subfolders somehow,- studying something like this might help.
