  I have a SSL certificate for https://www.chris-sawyer.com through Siteground, and I had WordPress map my site to ‘chris-cawyer.com’ However, now I am unable to use my HTTPS domain without getting a certificate error for ‘*.wordpress.com’

  I can go to http://www.chris-sawyer.com with no issue, but that seems to defeat the purpose of the SSL. Does my domain need to be re-mapped to include the HTTPS address?

  I am just looking to use the HTTPS address without getting a certificate error.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  WordPress.com uses an SSL certificate to encrypt your connection. SSL certificates need to be signed to a specific domain, and WordPress.com can’t provide certificates for every mapped domain, so the certificate is signed for WordPress.com only.

  You can add the tag modlook to the right sidebar and let the Support Staff have a look.
