domain moved and dns changed
-
I’ve moved my domain and changed my dns and cancelled my mapping but I am getting an error that my site mapping is not found. I don’t need it anymore, but I can’t seem to get my site to come up on all browsers. I thought I had cancelled acountrypath.com with wordpress but it is interfering with my new site.

How recently did you change the DNS? It can take up to 24 hours for the change to propagate across the internet.
You can try flushing your computer’s DNS cache:

Hi bookgirl,
I didn’t change the wordpress.org information until the DNS had changed, but I am getting an error about either:
The owner of acountrypath.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
or
Domain mapping upgrade for this domain is not found. But as I have moved the domain (over two weeks ago) from wordpress.com to a different domain company and then changed dns today, it shouldn’t still affect it. I’ve flushed my dns, but that’s not helping. What do you see when you go to this domain? Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I change the dns this morning but didn’t do anything to the site’s address until it had changed.
Whois.com shows that it is moved, but I think the previous mapping from WordPress.com is screwing it up somehow. I deleted everything on the previous account but that hasn’t helped. I do this all the time, but I’ve never moved a domain from WordPress.com to a different domain company before.

Weird. If I click through the warning message on https://acountrypath.com/ I go to a page for “Dewitt Appraisal Management.”
If I click http://acountrypath.com/ (no S in the http) then I see a page a page titled “A Country Path” with a blue circular logo at the top and wide photo below it.
I tried doing a “whois” search and got some weird error message for your domain that I’ve never seen before, but if you updated the DNS today that might be the cause.
https://www.namecheap.com/domains/whois/results.aspx?domain=acountrypath.com
It shows the nameservers as NS1.WEBSPACETODAY.NET and NS2.WEBSPACETODAY.NETI also did a traceroute for both http:// and https:// versions of your site at http://network-tools.com/ and they resolved to hosting.webspacetoday.net.
I think you may need to ask your web host to take a look at their settings to see why the https takes you to another site. But I think the rest is possibly related to whatever DNS changes you made today.

yeah, I saw that dewitt appraisal at one point too! I may talk to the hosting company. I spoke to the domain company and they told me to check with anype.com or megaproxy.com (never heard of them, but apparently they are independant proxies in case you can’t clear your own cache) and that came up okay. The blue circular logo is the right one.
Thanks for taking the time to look for me. I’ll talk to the host. The dns is supposed to be at ns2 and ns2.webspacetoday.net. It is weird, isn’t it?
Thanks again. I’ll call the hosts now and if I find out what’s up, I’ll let you know, if you are interested.

I spoke to them and he says that at the moment, my domain is trying to use the Security certificate for that Dewitt company (which is a domain/site that the fellow I share this hosting with actually manages). He says to be patient and it will sort itself out by tomorrow. Hard to do, but I will. If not, he says to call back.

This still isn’t resolved. If I type in acountrypath.com into the addressbar the site is coming up fine, but google has it listed as an https site and that directs people to an error. I’m still wondering if there is an ssl that wordpress puts on somehow when you pay for mapping with a domain. This is so frustrating, it’s been going on for five days now. And Google will be as hard to contact as wordpress is!

I think there are a couple things going on:
Your site was at the https version when you were on WordPress.com and that is what google indexed. They haven’t reindexed you yet.
You could help them index your site at the http version by signing up with Webmaster tools ( https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ ) and submitting a sitemap. (There are plugins for self-hosted WordPress that can make a sitemap for you.) Just make sure it lists your pages as https before you submit.
Another issue is that your site is pulling both http and https files into the same page (at least on the https version), which can lead to warning messages. A plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/ssl-insecure-content-fixer/ might help.
I’d suggest also talking to your host and asking if they can redirect https to http for your site (or just turn off the SSL option completely).
Mainly, though, I think it’s an issue of time.
