Hi guys,
Have had a bit of a problem for the last month on one of my sites.
For some reason Google started indexing all my pages as "https".
There are no internal links pointing at https. But annoyingly if one of the pages is loaded via https all internal structure is replaced with https and has allowed the whole site to be crawled as such!
So far I have made sure to set sitewide canonical tag to point at http even if the page loads as https. After a while of waiting and not seeing much change I also installed a WordPress plugin which 301 redirects all https to http.
Is there anything else I can do, or is it now just a case of waiting ages for Google to find the original pages and replace?
I also note that although if you search via "site:" the majority of pages are set as https, you can still in fact find the http variants in Google doing manual searches.
