Redirecting https to http when loading site
We would like the FQDN https://www.workforcesoftware.com forwarded to http://www.workforcesoftware.com as we don't currently have an HTTPS based offering of the wordpress site.
We have tried a few things in .htaccess but to no avail. Here is the current .htaccess:
As of right now, it prompts for a security error and then shows the default cPanel error page:
![2015-03-20-08-50-42-Default-Web-Site-Pag]()

As of right now, it prompts for a security error and then shows the default cPanel error page:
It's not a WordPress problem, but a cPanel one.
cPanel doesn't refuse to serve the https:// version of your site, just because you don't have an SSL cert. Try your https:// URL again in an Incognito window or on a PC that hasn't been there before - you get a different warning first to say that the SSL cert presented is in the name of your webhosting company (webserversystems.com) and not your domain.
I don't think there's anything you can do about it. The cPanel warning you see if you click to ignore the warning from your browser is coming from the cPanel server, not your account - so you can't redirect it yourself.
An SSL cert is under $10 so you could get one if your problem is that people are linking to your URL using https, but otherwise, just forget about it
