  I have a website https://www.therealestjaredwillis.com. When I link to my wordpress blog (https://www.therealestjaredwillis.wordpress.com), I get a security warning. How can I fix this?

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

  I think I may have accidentally figured this out on my own… I believe that there is some type of loop created when you link from an external source into a wordpress site using “https” in the link address. Apparently, by using only “http” instead of “https” in my external link, I was able to fix this security issue… or at least find a way around it. Maybe it has something to do with wordpress redirecting external links to the https site?

  Hi –

  Was the security warning coming up on your WordPress.com site?

  Hi Jared,

  I’d say the best thing to do is not link to your site with a www subdomain, at least as long as you’re linking to your site using your therealestjaredwillis subdomain on WordPress.com

  It’s likely that the SSL/TLS certificate is not configured to allow this type of URL.

  Hope this helps!

  Regards,
  Jay

  To be more clear, I mean to link to:

  https://therealestjaredwillis.wordpress.com/

  in lieu of:

  https://www.therealestjaredwillis.wordpress.com/
