    I recently upgraded and have a domain name. Entering the domain name in the address bar, or linking to facebook, I get a privacy setting error.

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

    Hi there!

    When you connect to your Dashboard or blog over an HTTPS connection, we use an SSL certificate to encrypt your connection. SSL certificates need to be signed to a specific domain, and we can’t provide certificates for every mapped domain, so our certificate is signed for WordPress.com.

    When you go to your own domain with https:// but your security software sees a certificate signed to http://wordpress.com/ it’s alerting you that WordPress.com may be intercepting your connection, which of course is perfectly fine.

    Most security systems like this should have a way to add a permanent exception so you will never see the warning again in this instance.

    To prevent your readers running into this in their browsers, just make sure that whenever you provide a link to your blog or post it anywhere, that you post it as http://wildwordsartist.com and not https://wildwordsartist.com

    You can read more about this here:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

    That page will also give you instructions on how to disable that pop-up on your browser.

    Let me know if you have further questions!
