  Hello,

  Another website:
  http://princealbertcamden.com/weddings/ (last link on the page)
  has linked to one of my blog pages:
  https://hannahlarkinphotography.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/niamh-and-matts-irish-wedding-in-london/

  When I click on it (in IE or Firefox) it gives this error:

  This Connection is Untrusted

  You have asked Firefox to connect securely to http://www.hannahlarkinphotography.wordpress.com, but we can’t confirm that your connection is secure.

  Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site’s identity can’t be verified.

  http://www.hannahlarkinphotography.wordpress.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.wordpress.com, wordpress.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

  I know I can resolve this for my own viewing by adding a permanent exception as detailed here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions

  However, this is for potential clients to find me and I don’t think they will be adding exceptions to view the post… Is there another way to resolve the issue?

  I wondered if I replace the current link:
  https://hannahlarkinphotography.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/niamh-and-matts-irish-wedding-in-london/
  with the http version:
  http://hannahlarkinphotography.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/niamh-and-matts-irish-wedding-in-london/
  would that solve the problem? I don’t want to have to ask the other website to make a change unless I really think it will work!

  Hope someone can help!
  Thanks!
  Hannah

  For starters the address they are linking to is not completely accurate – no WordPress.COM URL has www in it – the link should redirect –

  https://www.hannahlarkinphotography.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/niamh-and-matts-irish-wedding-in-london

  Have the site Try

  Niamh and Matt’s Irish Wedding in London

  Hi Hannah,

  The link auxclass gave you is correct:

  If for some reason you continue to get that error even while using that link, please let me know!
