  Hi there,

  We are sorry that you are having trouble with your SSL certificate. In general, here on WordPress.com, you don’t need to worry about “Connection is not private/secure” as they will be set up automatically.

  You can still check if your SSL certificate is active. Go to Upgrades->Domains in your WordPress.com account.

  Thanks.
