  When I try to view my site on WordPress I get a Privacy Error stating that my connection is not private. I think it may have something to do with the website having a ‘certificate’ that is invalid? How do I fix this?

  Would you mind sharing the URL of your site to take a look?

  It’s “box5223.temp.domains”

  It looks like you need to configure your SSL certificate. In order to do that, you’ll need to contact your hosting provider.

  Hope this helps.

  Hi folks, please also keep in mind that this support forum assists users with free websites hosted on the WPcom platform. WPcom (where we are ) and WP are separate entities with different documentation and support forums. More information about the differences can be found here: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  For help with a site using the open source WP software, head over to https://wordpress.org/support/ where you’ll find documentation and users who have more experience with the software you are using. If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums you can register one on the top of that page. Cheers.
