I am using Local 3.2.1 and love how easy it is to secure a local site with SSL. To do that, all I have to do is hit the “Trust” button. Wow.
However, if I want to remove SSL security from a site so that it runs as plain “http” again, I have no idea what to do. So two questions:
(1) Is it possible to access a secure local site via “http”? In my experience all plain “http” requests are turned into “https” automatically.
(2) If not, is it possible to remove SSL security from an existing secure local site? I have tried commenting out the three SSL-related lines in wp-config.php, but that does not help. I don’t see anything SSL related in .htaccess. There is no “Remove Trust” button on the SSL pane of the Local app. How can I get rid of SSL on a site?
There isn’t a specific process for removing a certificate using Local.
When the “Trust” button is pushed, it registers a certificate with the Operating System. You should be able to remove the certificate using the tools that come with the OS.
Here’s a good resource that outlines the process for various Operating Systems:
