Redirect HTTPS to HTTP for a bilingual site I set up a bilingual site pointing to 2 different domains for a client. My client then started receiving comments about unusual behavior, and digging a little I found out they (unknowingly) signed up for an HTTPS account while being on shared hosting and not having an SSL certificate. 

I understand I can revert this by going to settings.php and force HTTP writing:

$base_url = 'http://example.com';


My question is if this is the correct way to handle this and I don't need to change anything else (like .htaccess); also, I have a different domain for a Spanish version of the site, could this domain be affected by pointing $base_url to the English domain? should I add both?
I would do the https to http redirect inside of .htaccess. Setting the base_url in settings.php will only fix it after the user clicks on a link. The landing page will still be https. I would use something like this in your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO} ^https$ [or]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^on$
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
