 * Hi, after installing, activating and running the plugin, the site worked fine
   in https://
    After that i disabled the plugin not knowing that it is not allowed.
   The site is still running in https:// but has it further consequences and what
   must be done?

 * Hi Henk,
 * when deactivating the plugin the site should revert back to [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-the-plugin-3/?output_format=md),
   the home and site-url will be http:// and the mixed content fixer stops working.
   If you disabled the plugin, you can enable it again via the plugins overview,
   press ‘active SSL’ and the site should work fine on SSL.

 * Hi Mark, this is a great and fast support It works fine now. I see that .htaccess
   is not adapted for https? Is that normal?

 * The plugin should write the .htaccess redirect rules to your .htaccess file if
   the ‘.htaccess redirect’ option is enabled in the plugin settings. Sometimes 
   the plugin cannot write to the .htaccess file, for example when editing the file
   is blocked by a security setting. In that case the rules can be added manually,
