Certificate problems with sites? Have these been reported?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Have these problems with certificates been reported?
    I can’t see the pictures on my site. Firefox 33.1.1 reports this:
    ————–
    This Connection is Untrusted

    You have asked Firefox to connect securely to windyweather.files.wordpress.com, but we can’t confirm that your connection is secure.

    Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site’s identity can’t be verified.
    What Should I Do?

    If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn’t continue.

    windyweather.files.wordpress.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
    ————————–

    Any timeframe on a fix?

    BTW, this problem comes and goes. Sometimes the pictures appear and sometimes not.

    This is continuous for me now. Most pictures are missing from my site due to this problem. Firefox 33.1.1, Win 7 x64.

    Why would one of my posts show no images due to this error, and most are fine?

    No images due to certificate error.

    Apparently nobody cares anyway. Sorry. Why am I paying for this service again? Isn’t this the support forum?

    Just to be clear, here’s the whole stuff I’m getting from firefox.

    windyweather.files.wordpress.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

    If you understand what’s going on, you can tell Firefox to start trusting this site’s identification. Even if you trust the site, this error could mean that someone is tampering with your connection.

    Don’t add an exception unless you know there’s a good reason why this site doesn’t use trusted identification.

    Yes, it has been reported. There are a couple of dozen threads on the issue already.

    Nice to know. Thank you.

    We have a certificate problem too which prevents our blog to be consumed by a RSS reader of our company.
