pilotguy Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I've recently dropped my SSL certificate on my site. When any of my users type in my URL it still takes them to the secure site which is now non existent so they get a 404 page. I've removed redirects and such from my HTACCESS. Is there a way to get them heading to the correct URL automatically without landing on the old secure address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Why did you drop your SSL cert? If it's due to costs, have you looked into LetsEncrypt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotguy Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Because it's not required anymore for the level of service provided AND it also cuts into what I can make available to the end user as far as some media types are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeFNF Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Did you have HSTS enabled? If true, you are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevengeFNF Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Something that tell the browsers to only use https with your site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'd stick with using an SSL certificate, at least for the logins at a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I would keep it for the whole site, since it makes hacking a tidge harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotguy Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Well I've now reverted BACK to SSL mainly because there are so many links with https in them floating around. I still need to figure out how to have any HTTPS requests redirected to HTTP though. So far every .htaccess edit I've tried doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
