Site Getting Blocked
-
Hello, I have had a WordPress site since 2012 and have never had a problem. However, recently people have been having trouble accessing the site with warnings being given about malware and such. In addition, Facebook won’t let me post links to my site because it says the site doesn’t follow their community standards. You can look at the site (shoeuntied.wordpress.com), there is nothing on it that is at all inappropriate. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there,
All sites on WordPress.com are constantly being scanned for malware, and the types of code that malware is written in cannot actually even be added to or embedded on a WordPress.com site, so it’s very unlikely if not impossible that your site can have malware on it.
What exactly does the malware warnings say, and where are your visitors seeing them?
My browser is showing a non-secure connection warning for me. This is because your site is loading over https, but you have some content being embedded using http links, for example, your picture in the sidebar under the heading Shoe. The only way to prevent those warnings is to update the links you’re using to embed content like that to https, but that will only work if the sites from where you’re embedding the content themselves have valid SSL certificates.
But regarding Facebook not allowing shares from your site there’s nothing we can do. We have no control or influence over how Facebook enforces their terms of service and community standards. Your only option there is to contact Facebook and appeal this block with them.
