My domain is blocked by browsers because supposedly is a risk

    Hi. The browsers blocks my domain because according to them, my site is a risk. Mozilla browser says: This is probably not the site you are looking for. You attempted to reach pma507pty.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as *wordpress.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or for something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of pma507pty.com You should not proceed, especially is you have never seen this warning before for this site.

    What’s going on with my domain?

    Regards.

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

    Hi there,

    That is actually very standard behavior and is a bit misguided (sorry about the scare!). Please note that only you and other registered users of the blog will see it when logged in.

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

    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://pma507pty.com/ and not https://pma507pty.com/.
