  A security warning comes up for people who click on a link to my sites through email. It says…’our xxx site’ uses an invalid security certificate.

  The certificate is only valid for the following names:
  *. wordpress.com, wordpress.com

  How do I stop this from happening when people receive my email with a link to my websites? i read a post about changing my own personal settings but I’m talking about when another person receives an email from me with links to my site

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

  I read that post and it doesn’t apply. My question…for other people…NOT ME…who view my site and get that warning…it doesn’t look good. If I embed the link into an email and send it to a colleague…when the colleague gets the link they get the security warning.

  How do I change the certificate so 3rd party people won’t run into this problem?

  They are going to the site using https:// at the beginning of their URL. There is no sense in doing that. It is a public site and there is nothing on the public pages that requires https:// .
