I cannot access my WordPress through HTTP, only works through HTTPS. I need to update the certification but certibot certifies through HTTP. The site is accessible through HTTPS, but screams “Danger, expired certificate.”
What can I try?
What I have tried.
- Changed .htaccess to not redirect to HTTPS.
- Changes the site to http://www.mysite.com in WordPress.
- Modified wp-config.php, define (“WP-SITEURL”,“WP_HOME”…
I did not change anything in MySQL, I am not familiar with SQL commands.

Hi @ALbundee,
It’s a possibility for the redirection to be made inside your virtual configuration file. If you are using an .htaccess file then it means you are using Apache. Find the Apache folder it’s usually:
for Ubuntu
/etc/apache2
for CentOS
/etc/httpd
Inside this folder, you should see another folder - sites-enabled. Find the Configuration file of your website there and please post it here. It’s possible the redirection is there and we might be able to spot it inside it.
Hi @ALbundee,
I see something interesting.
In your <VirtualHost *:80>, I can see
ServerName www.example.co.za
Please make sure you update it with your domain as I can see you haven’t editted out the domain anywhere else.
Additionally, I’ll recommend adding the main domain name as well steedfit.co.za and not only the www version otherwise people that are trying to reach it on - steedfit.co.za will not be able to. You can add steedfit.co.za to your ServerAlias section.
