 * Hi
 * This is a bit of a weird one. I’m using the Newspaper theme and I check the system
   status and noticed that there is a problem with my site setup:
 * WP Home URL i
    [http://www.type1active.com](http://www.type1active.com) WP Site
   URL i [https://www.type1active.com](https://www.type1active.com)
 * I’ve checked the general WP settings, .htacess and wp-config.php files and everything
   there is showing as normal. Is there anywhere else I can check why the WP Site
   URL is still forcing https?
 * Thanks
 * Clare

 * I’ve moved this to “How-To and Troubleshooting” as it’s not an installation problem.
 * _*Looks*_
 * It’s complicated. You’re using Cloudflare and that may also be contributing to
   it. Also while your WordPress Address and Site URL may be `http` your database
   content should still be `https` in all the references.
 * Give this a read.

 * You haven’t moved exactly but you did. Sort of. 😉
 * Your URLs in your database for your posts and pages have to be changed from `
   https://www.type1active.com/` to `http://www.type1active.com/` and you may need
   to do some configuration with Cloudflare.

 * Hi Jan
 * Thanks for putting this in the right area of the forum, I wasn’t too sure! I’ve
   tried a couple of the suggestions from the link you shared, including using the
   plugins Velvet Blues Update URLs, Better Search Replace and Search and Replace
   for WordPress Databases Script.
 * Sadly I’m still non the wiser. I’ve taken a look at my CloudFlare settings and
   can’t see anything there that is any different from another site I’m hosting 
   with the same theme that is working fine – see [http://www.polepurpose.com](http://www.polepurpose.com)
 * Maybe I’m just not seeing the fault. I wonder if there is any way to copy the
   settings from [http://www.polepurpose.com](http://www.polepurpose.com) to [http://www.type1active.com](http://www.type1active.com)
   to try and resolve this issue that way? I’ve already compared wp-config and htacess
   files as well as the CloudFlare settings.
 * Thanks again
 * Clare

 * Interestingly, I am able to make everything https with “Better Search Replace”.
   If after using this plugin I then try and change everything back to http then“
   home” and the “site” URL’s don’t match again. hmm….
