Wordpress Admin Login Redirect to HTTPS in Lab 1

Hi,

In Step-5 (Lab-1), while configuring wp-config.php, we need to comment the below line:
$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';

Additionally, we need to add below line
define( 'FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', false );

before:

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */

This will avoid redirecting to HTTPS for scripts and theme files, as well as admin login. [Atleast for Lab-1]
