title: What could be causing forced SSL on WordPress Login page? (ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT)
body: <p>I'm working on a site that is share hosted at ipower(dot)com. I went to login via Wordpress. But after I entered my login credentials, I got forwarded to an https login page with the error: ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT</p>
  
  <p>The url I start with is <a href="http://chpconsultants.com/wp-admin" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://chpconsultants.com/wp-admin</a> or /wp-login.php. Every time I enter my login credentials and then press the login button, I get routed to https version of those links.</p>
  
  <p>After I've tried to login, if I go to the front end of the site, I can see the admin  toolbar across the top of the page, but if I click on anything in the toolbar, I again get routed to an https page with the ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT error.</p>
  
  <p>This is a wordpress site, v. 4.8.2. PHP version 5.6.30. It's using a basic version of Sitelock, so a firewall/CDN. I don't have, and can't get, SSH access.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I've done to try and fix it so far:</p>
  
  <p>1) Going into the mysql db into wp_options and checking that the urls    in both the siteurl and home are using http and not https
  2) Deactivating all my plugins to ensure no conflict 
  3) Cleaning out my .htaccess file and re-setting it with the default wordpress .htaccess<br>
  4) Adding this to my .htaccess file: </p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
  RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>5) Adding this to my wpconfig file:    </p>
  
  <pre><code>define('WP_HOME','http://chpconsultants.com');    
  define('WP_SITEURL','http://chpconsultants.com'); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>6) adding this to my wpconfig file: </p>
  
  <pre><code>define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', false);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>7) adding this to functions.php: </p>
  
  <pre><code>update_option( 'siteurl', 'http://chpconsultants.com'); 
  update_option( 'home', 'http://chpconsultants.com' ); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>8) Clearing the wordpress cache numerous times throughout the above steps</p>
  
  <p>9) Purging the SiteLock cache numerous times throughout this process</p>
  
  <p>10) Creating a new wp user through the database and trying to login with    that. I got the same https results </p>
  
  <p>11) Contacting Sitelock to ask if there was anything in the firewall that might be forcing SSL. I spoke with a great tech support person there, who also happened to be highly experienced with wordpress. He actually took a look at the site himself and replicated the issue. He also looked at several things including all of the above steps I did and verified he saw    nothing in the site that could be causing this problem.</p>
  
  <p>If you've read this far, thanks for looking! Please forgive any formatting clumsiness. I'm still a newb on posting here.</p>
  
  <p>Given all of the above, does anyone have any good idea of what else I might try? Or what might be causing this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
