Security Certificate Expired for my WP Site?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Receiving a message when trying to access admin on my WP site.

    It says “Your connection is not private. Attachkers might be trying to steal your information from http://www.maryanndsilva.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards. ADVANCED – This server could not prove that it is http://www.maryanndsilva.com; its security cerficate expired 4 days ago. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. Your computer’s clock is currently set to Tuesday, May 8, 2018. Does that look right? If not, you should correct your system’s clock and then refresh this page.”

    My clock is correct. This is the message I receive on Chrome when trying to access admin. Right before this message on chrome I received a message on Safari when trying to get to the front end of my website. It said that it was an unsafe connection. It’s not happening at the moment, so I can’t paste the exact words.

    What do I do? Am I being hacked? I’ve been blogging for less than a year, and all the tech stuff is foreign to me.

    Thanks in advance!

    I’m sorry but we can’t help you here with that site as it is not hosted by WordPress.com on our servers.

    maryanndsilva.com is a WordPress.ORG software install hosted by Unified Layer
    Name Servers:
    ns2.bluehost.com
    ns1.bluehost.com

    You are posting to the wrong support forum and I will have to redirect to the correct one.

    We provide support only for sites hosted on WordPress.COM servers. To be clear we do not provide support for local installs of WordPress.ORG software, or for WordPress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, linked to WordPress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites WordPress.COM account page.

    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 http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support.
    The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/
    If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
    See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.

  • Your website is using WordPress.org software on a web host other than WordPress.com. Please contact your web host to get help with the SSL certificate on your site.

    Support for WordPress.org software sites is offered in the support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ and this support forum is able to help only if your site is hosted by WordPress.com.

    WordPress.org and WordPress.com are different in structure and can be confusing. More information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
