  We’re seeing a really strange problem with a couple of our sites.

  When publicize shares a post to Twitter the url included in the tweet is pointing to a https url instead of a http address.

  The result is that users get a certificate error because our sites don’t use an ssl.

  I’m completely stumped by this problem so hoping someone here might know what’s going on.
  Thanks

  What are the URLs of these sites?

  Know that we provide support here only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs. We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software installs. Read the differences here please http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  We cannot provide accurate answers to any blogger who fails to provide the exact URL starting with http:// for the exact blog(s) they refer to so we can verify where it (or they) is (are) hosted. Please do that now.

  This is an empty wordpress.COM hosted blog https://lobsterrussell.wordpress.com/that is linked to your username.

  If the sites in question are not hosted by WordPress.COM then you are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
  Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  Also note that Jetpack is a plugin for WordPress.ORG software installs to provide parity with blogs hosted by wordpress.COM. Some JetPack solutions are here http://jetpack.me/support/
  Others are in the JetPack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack
  However, if you can’t find help at either one then you can file a JetPack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
