  When I type in http://zhouyuewen.wordpress.com into my browser (tried Chrome & IE7), it automatically changed to https://zhouyuewen.wordpress.com

  Even Google indexed my pages with https.

  How can I change that back to normal http?
  Thanks.

  Breathe. Then realize that what’s been done is a PLUS.

  I have a whole fleet of custom domains and we cannot get https and I am REALLY REALLY angry about that.

  Google ranks https domains higher than http. Don’t worry, anyone typing in http will still get to your site.

  Hi Raincoaster,

  Thanks for sharing.
  I didn’t know it is a good thing.
  I set up Google Analytics but no data because it was switched to https, and treated as a different URL by Google. Guess my solution is to track this https URL. Appreciate your feedback.
