  When I click on my own links for my blog I am getting untrusted connection warnings saying my security certificate is only good for .wordpress.com or wordpress.com. I have paid for the upgrade so that my site is only http://www.mikescraftbeer.com
  (error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

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

  Do you still encounter the issue? make sure that the blog address uses http:// instead of https://

  If possible, send me a screenshot, so I can better understand the issue. You can simply upload the screenshot to your Media Library at https://mikescraftbeer.wordpress.com/wp-admin/media-new.php, like any other image, and I’ll be able to access it from there.

  The page at the following link has some helpful tips for taking screenshots:

  Well that sucks as I am loosing lots of hits due to this. This should be fixed as otherwise I will have to migrate my site. What is the point of a blog without hits? How does Google even have the ability to do this as I am not using Google but only clicking on an embedded link on my blog using mozilla Firefox or my BlackBerry 10 browser?

  Hi there,

  Can you send me a link to the page on your blog with the link that you’re clicking on? If that link starts with https:// instead of http:// that can trigger the warning, and that’s something that can be fixed. I’d be happy to take a closer look at the exact link that’s causing the message to help you with that.
