No https after transfer to another server (hence no admin accessible)

    I had an installation on a server that has https enabled.
    (I’m not sure but i probably used the https to install wordpress)

    recently I had to switch to another provider and I no longer have https on my domain, and when i try to access http://domain/wp-admin, i get automatically redirected to https://domain/wp-admin – which doesn’t exist.
    Is there a way to turn this off?

    You should be able to solve this by following any of the manual methods to changing your site’s stored URL from https to http.

    Details can be found in this Codex article: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

    Make sure there are no constants in your site’s wp-config.php file forcing or redirecting to https.

    EDIT: Also, if you can possibly take a server-side backup of your site before you get started, that would be ideal as well.

    I tried changing the DB entry and it worked!

    Thank you!
