Removing LetsEncrypt

Help
1

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: cowboycommonsense.com

I ran this command: Using WP Encrypt Plugin

It produced this output: /?/

My web server is (include version): ?

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Apache Version 2.4.29

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Namecheap

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): No

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): cPanel

Installed cert, worked fine, WordPress single site. Installed MultiSite, still worked fine for main domain. Added sub-domain (jhhr.cowoycommonsense.com), and attempting to go to the Dashboard I get a 404 because it defaults to https. I removed info from htaccess file that redirected hhtp calls to https, via cPanel I deleted LetsEncrypt cert, then deleted it via FTP from server. However, all calls to the subb-domain Dashboard I get 404, and logging into main site still comes up https.

I also cleared DNS info from my computer, cleared browser cache.

I cannot create a new cert because WP Encrypt says one already exists.

How do I remove all traces of LetsEncrypt so I can once again just use http?

Regarding your main site redirecting to HTTPS, your Site URL is currently https://cowboycommonsense.com/

Change it to the non-HTTPS variant: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

Regarding your subdomain, it does not resolve in DNS, so I can’t check what’s going on there.

AFAICT WP Encrypt is not actively maintained so that is something to consider when choosing to use it.

Thanks for the reply _az.

I tried each of the meathods mentioned in the codex.wordpress. The last one I noticed that the site URL and Home URL were correct (ie; http).

The main site now comes up as http, even at the login screen, and while logged in.

However, the sub-site jhhr.cowboycommonsense.com only displays a file listing - the “cgi-bin” folder. But when I try jhhr.cowboycommonsense.com/wp-admin I still get the 404.

I have also disabled the WP-Encrypt plugin and another plugin, SSL Insecure Content Fixer.

You probably created a subdomain rather than an alias/parked domain.

In any case, it is not an issue with Let's Encrypt and you should ask your web host or read the cPanel documentation.
