  When a trusted follower tried to reply to leave a comment my article at http://drewbekius.com/2014/12/10/a-biblical-atheism/, he was given the following warning:

  “Your connection is not private. Attackers might be trying to steal your information from drewbekius.com… This server could not prove it is drewbekius.com; its security certificate is from *.wordpress.com. This may be caused by a security misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.”

  I thought maybe it was a setting on his end, but he said he was already logged into the WP network and shouldn’t have to sign in. Said he thought it looked like a phishing attempt.

  What should I do?

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

  This is probably an https:// issue.
  If he uses the http:// URL instead what happens then?
