 * The plugin has changed the .htaccess file and deleted the 301 redirect code although
   I deactivated by the plugin’s button. If I haven’t controlled the file pages 
   would give 404 error. May be it is a useful plugin I’m not sure but be careful
   while deactivating.

 * Hi [@boragursel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boragursel/),
 * Sorry to hear you ran into an issue! To prevent this, I have added the text “
   deactivate and revert to http” with the deactivation button.
 * The deactivation is built to enable users to fully remove all changes.
 * To deactivate the plugin but keep the site on https. You can find this option
   in settings/ssl.
 * This button is labelled “deactivated and keep https”.
 * If you have any suggestions how to make this clearer, just let me know.

 * Hi [@rogierlankhorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rogierlankhorst/)
 * I deactivated by the button. I also didn’t understand and now I get 404 errors
   which seems the site address (kilsanblog.com) appended at the end of the urls
   like this:
 * /yesil-cevreci-ekolojik/permakultur-doga-ile-butunlesme/kilsanblog.com
 * Is it related with deactivation I really couldn’t understand.

 * Hi [@boragursel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boragursel/),
 * Thanks for your reply.
 * When you deactivate using this button, the .htaccess is not changed, only the
   plugin is deactivated. Did you enable the .htaccess redirect in settings/ssl 
   before deactivating? If you only used the default redirect, this does not work
   when the plugin is deactivated, because it is a php redirect.
 * I just checked your site, but don’t get any 404 issues, is it possible this is
   a caching issue in your browser? Can you try clearing your browser history?
