Chrome is requesting HTTPS suddenly and I can't log into admin area


I recently moved a wordpress site from one hostgator account to another. It's now an addon domain. For the last couple days everything was working fine.

Then suddenly Chrome started giving me this error when I tried to reach my admin area: enter image description here

Proceeding didn't help either as I don't have an SSL, so it returns a 404. enter image description here

In fact it doesn't matter what URL hijinks I play, any time I access the admin area it tries to use HTTPS.

This is only on Chrome. It appears that Chrome is requesting an HTTPS address. I've tried commenting out all the https code in wp-login.php but no dice.

I've tried uninstalling Chrome, clearing cookies, etc. No good.

I'm at my wit's end.

EDIT: I've tried disabling every plugin (via cPanel) and narrowed it down to WooCommerce? I've been using it for ages...


Solution

  • It's a bug of Chrome v44. Look at this article, and this is a WordPress plugin to fix this issue (at this moment):
