  Hi there,

  Just got an email from Google Webmaster tools:

  “We have noticed that the host name of your site, https://bookstorebrowser.com, does not match any of the “Subject Names” in your SSL certificate, which were:

  *.wordpress.com
  wordpress.com
  As a result, many web browsers will block users from accessing your site, or display a security warning message when your site is accessed.”

  They recommended getting a new SSL certificate, but not sure how to go about changing this? Can anyone help? I check in my domain’s DNS settings but I can only change a few of those records, and not the one that I need to change.

  Thanks in advance!

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

  It’s a common warning. Staff say not to worry about it, they will sort it out with Google.
