Is there anything in JFBConnect that forces HTTPS on the administrator section? Like a plugin, an option, configuration setting, etc...?

I'm moving hosts & have my site temporarily installed on a different domain. I can see the admin section login form, but as soon as I click "log in" I get redirected to https://.... which spits out an SSL error since this temporary domain I'm using doesn't have SSL. I'm trying to find what's forcing SSL.

Through Googling I've found 2 main areas where SSL is normally forced (Global Config & Admin Tools) - I've made sure both are turned off.
I've verified the following options:
Site > Global Configuration > Server > Force SSL: None
Components > Admin Tools > .htaccess maker >
Force HTTPS for these URLs: (Blank)
HSTS Header: No

I've also checked the .htaccess in the root & root/administrator.

I've asked SiteGround techs. They say there's a plugin forcing the SSL redirect. Do you know of any of your plugins, modules, components, etc I should check?

I'm on Joomla 2.5.27
JFBConnect 6.1.1
SCLogin

Is there anything in your programs that could force HTTPS on the admin section?

Thanks for your help,

It's just the admin area that's forcing you to https? If so, then JFBConnect shouldn't be doing anything to affect that login process. JFBConnect doesn't alter the login flow on the admin area at all and we specifically don't allow social authentications in the admin area.

On the front-end, if the login process was going to https, the SCLogin module could be causing that.. but I don't think that's your issue.

You can always modify the database tables to disable our JFBCSystem, SCLogin, JFBCConnect User and JFBConnect Authentication plugins and verify it's not our extension causing the problem as well.

I hope that helps narrow things down. Of course if you come to some into more information that JFBC is the problem, just let us know and we'll gladly help however we can.

Thanks,
Alex
