HTTPS issues, and other things. Annoyed.

  I have asked this question before, but nobody has given me the correct answer.

  My blog is now displayed in URL as HTTPS instead of HTTP, and this means that my trackbacks and pingbacks are not working. It has effectively ruined my blog hyperlinking experience, as the trackbacks do not get displayed in the comments section.

  I have manually changed the HTTPS to HTTP in the address bar, but it ALWAYS reverts back to HTTPS.

  I do not want HTTPS. Why the sudden change? I have not done anything wrong.

  I also have a problem with the text being too large in my blog when I am trying to write a new post, and whenever I try to type the page shifts downwards, so I cannot see what I am writing.

  Help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I am having the same problem. The ping backs no longer work on my site and the URL now starts with https, I ahem read other queries on this but can’t see how to resolve it or how to revert my site to http

  My site is https://belgianstreets.wordpress.com

  It seems that little ‘s’ is the culprit…

  Please can someone help?

  Something has seriously gone wrong with WordPress. I wish they would stop changing things all the time.

  I cannot TRACKBACK OR PINGBACK! This is losing me HITS.

  Can someone please look in to this issue.

  I have the same problem. Also, Social Media counters went to zero because of this.

  Don’t know if this will address and remedy the issues described.
  Option:
  At Dashboard admin menu > Users > Personal Settings, uncheck “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages” and save the change.

  The problem began just a few days ago. All my site (http://chuangzuo.wordpress.com) changed all the URLs to HTTPS. I didn’t do anything on my side, so it must be WordPress ?

  @galois – I think there have been changes since that answer

  WordPress.COM has been working to implement https for all viewing, Google is starting to downgrade sites if they do not support https – it looks like WordPress.COM has implemented https based on what I now see with my browser –

  Mapped domains still don’t have https viewing implemented (a certificate error occurs with a security message warning if my memory is correct)

  I have flagged this for an update from the staff

  You’re right, @auxclass. My apologies and thank you for the information. :)
