I don't have enough reputation to comment but if you are using Chrome and a .dev local server domain, have a look at this post. Chrome have purchased the .dev gTLD and now force the redirect to https://. If so, consider using .test or some other domain. A quick way to test it would be to try another browser.

Notice: Firefox does now also show this behavior. See the linked post above.

I just ran into this issue. For me, it was a problem with my .htaccess file. I had to remove the following:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

After that, I emptied the cache and did a hard reload. Fixed the issue.

You may also need to clear cookies, local/session storage, etc. depending on your specific needs.

In your wp-config.php file.

define('WP_HOME','http://yourwordpressurl.com'); define('WP_SITEURL','http://yourwordpressurl.com');

This will force your site to use http:// instead of https

Answer: Use Microsoft Edge

As an addition to Geoff's v useful post: Use Edge instead. My domains work fine there.

Why Google needed to do this tweak to Chrome is beyond me. Surely (normally) any web address is first checked against local DNS before going external or am I daft.

Anyhow Edge works but will probably make them .loc or something (I assume .loc is still OK) and return to Chrome. I will find it very funny if I end up liking Edge and ditching Chrome. If only wishing made it so.

I hate monopolistic behaviours like this. It used to be Microsoft now Google and Amazon worst offenders. Apple is a closed garden ... and I hate that too.

I am getting old :-(

Thanks for this anser, it works even in 2020. The other anser from @Geoff did also not really "ansewer" the question, so the actual problem would not be solved but just be worked around. The funny thing is that your answer even worked after MS changed Edge to be Chromium. Cheers Mate!
