How do I avoid an SSL warning in certain browsers?
-
I receive the following warning sometimes regarding my mapped domains:
emuarchitects.com
and
emuarchitetti.comSite host name, https://emuarchitects.com, does not match your SSL certificate Subject Name
We have noticed that the host name of your site, https://emuarchitects.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.Is there a way to avoid this?
Thanks!

If you are trying to access a site on WordPress.com with a custom domain (like yours) using the https:// version of the address, you will get an SSL warning (which will vary a bit between browsers). This is expected, because WordPress.com doesn’t support SSL for mapped domains. You do not need a certificate, and this is the same situation that has always existed on WordPress.com, so there’s no need to worry about it.

Ok, but I can’t seem to be able to use Google Webmaster Tools either… I followed the instructions here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/I tried with both
http://www.emuarchitects.com
and
emuarchitects.wordpress.com
as the domain. -
that should not have the http:/ in front – I wrote it as it recommends in the instructions

Did you use the HTML option under Alternative methods? This is often where people get tripped up.
You should end up with a link like
< meta name=”google-site-verification” content=”rc2RXSkjV5rz9P2s2hTwdDsnwTu4tD-gmruKUrqBGjs” />
and would use that in our tool.

Yes, I did try that.
When I add the site on Google Web Tools, is it supposed to be
emuarchitects.wordpress.com
or
emuarchitects.com
I tried both, neither worked.When I enter the link above into the WordPress tool, it strips out the tag and leaves only the content number. I assume it’s supposed to do that?
-
You can use either address. The tool will strip out the metatag portion of the link and leave the code. That’s fine.

oh duh.
I bet it’s because I turned my site to private while I’m working on it.that’s it, isn’t it?
that’s embarrassing. -

Let this be a lesson to all those who read this. Following instructions does not overcome common sense.
:)
Thanks. I’ll let you know if I still have problems when I publish, but I doubt I will. -
