I recently moved my site to https, by installing a SSL-certificate on the server and updating the site address and site home in the wp-admin to use https.
Due to some errors my client is experiencing with https, I would like to switch back. I have edited the values in the wp-admin, to be without https. I have also followed several options described in: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
However, nothing seems to work. I am not sure what is going wrong. It seems that internally WordPress is redirecting all url’s to https, although the site_url is changed.
I have also cleared my .htaccess file, but this also does not seem to be the problem. Any help much appreciated.

You can try these:
1. make sure the values changed in database
If you can’t login to wp-admin > settings to confirm that, you can go to database, wp_options table and look for siteurl and home values
2. add code to wp-config.php
Add these lines to wp-config.php
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
3. Clear your cache
Make sure that you clear the cache from any cache plugins you’re using and also from your browser
Also try adding this to wp-config.php (note “false”)
define( 'WP_CACHE', false );
4. check https / ssl related plugins
You might be using any plugin which is causing this, like ssl insecure content fixer, etc.
5. Cloudflare or other dns side redirect
Make sure that the site isn’t using any dns based redirect
6. disable all plugins and confirm
7. change theme to default and check
