  Hello,

  I tried to install an SSL certificate using Really Simple SSL. It showed that the ssl was installed but then my site became insecure and anyone who typed in in their browser received a warning. I tried to revert back to non ssl and just use http instead of https in the general settings but I’m still getting an insecure site error.

  I’m not sure how to fix this or revert back. Help!

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

  Hi @kylearora,

  Your site is hosted by NameCheap rather than WordPress.com
  I would request you to contact NameCheap for SSL related support and you can also seek help at WordPress.org Forum as it’s self-hosted site.
