Uninstalled SSL – now cannot log in, blog messed up

    I used to have an SSL certificate on my site, but no longer need it (the shop is offline)
    I allowed the SSL certificate to expire, and so visitors started receiving errors/warnings.
    I unstalled the SSL certificate from my site, and can now no longer log in to my blog. It redirects to the https page, which does not exist.
    I have gone to my Website Control Panel and changed the URL of the blog to http, from https. This does not seem to help.

    The blog still exists, but the links to resources (pictures) are broken.
    I cannot log in: when I try, the blog redirects me to the https page, and I get 404 error.

    Help please?

    You’ll want to have a read through this and use one of the methods listed:

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_Site_URL

    Also check your wp-config file and if either of these exist make sure they are set to false:

    define('FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', false);
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', false);

    Thank you.
    I have altered the URL directly in the database. The 1st option (wp_config.php) didn’t work, but database did.

    The site is now running, and I can log in.

    Unfortunatley, all of my Media (photos etc) used in the posts are still linked as https, and showing broken links. Is there an easy fix for this, or do I have to edit each post and re-attach the pictures?
