HTTPS question
-
I receive unasked for info in my Status Bar. When I click in Dashboard for a managing page, it shows a loading strip, my url and a yellow lock icon.
The mouse hoverer discloses ‘Authenticised by goDaddy Inc’. Google then tells me this is a Mozilla Firefox filter. But after clicking the lock icon, I am told that this has to do with security coding of pages. Could this be the WordPress HTTPS security tool that I found on my new blog, and which was automatically checked?It’s not bothering me, I just want to make sure it’s a legal thingy. ‘goDaddy’ is a somewhat lurid name…

Until you pointed it out, I hadn’t noticed that yellow lock. Yes, it appears to be the HTTPS security. And they must be using GoDaddy for this. Google GoDaddy – you’ll find out that they are a legit company.

Google referred to it as a Firefox filter, a bit confusing, that.
But thanks vivianpage, I’ll let it do its work. -
…A silly question perhaps, but shouldn’t the urls of the blogs show ‘https’ instead of ‘http’? Firefox forum showed me one with ‘https’.

Um, yeah – I said that. I just hadn’t noticed it before he mentioned it.
double – the url of the blog is not what is secured. The admin area is secured. That’s why the https shows up there.

…The screenshots are still there! I’ve deleted the postst!
I’ll never understand computers.
