  Hi,

  This is coming up on my blog. It just started to happen; when you click a photo that has the custom URL to click instead of clicking the title. I like top have it as a second option so you can just click the photo if you want to get into the post. How can it be fixed?

  “This is probably not the site you are looking for!
  You attempted to reach vagrantsneaker.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as *.wordpress.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of vagrantsneaker.com.
  You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.
  Proceed anyway Back to safety
  Help me understand
  When you connect to a secure website, the server hosting that site presents your browser with something called a “certificate” to verify its identity. This certificate contains identity information, such as the address of the website, which is verified by a third party that your computer trusts. By checking that the address in the certificate matches the address of the website, it is possible to verify that you are securely communicating with the website you intended, and not a third party (such as an attacker on your network).

  In this case, the address listed in the certificate does not match the address of the website your browser tried to go to. One possible reason for this is that your communications are being intercepted by an attacker who is presenting a certificate for a different website, which would cause a mismatch. Another possible reason is that the server is set up to return the same certificate for multiple websites, including the one you are attempting to visit, even though that certificate is not valid for all of those websites. Google Chrome can say for sure that you reached *.wordpress.com, but cannot verify that that is the same site as vagrantsneaker.com which you intended to reach. If you proceed, Chrome will not check for any further name mismatches.”

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

  Hi, you should only see that message if you link to images using the HTTPS protocol, rather than standard HTTP. WordPress.com subdomains aren’t setup with individual SSL certificates, so you’ll see a warning if you try to access a page or file via HTTPS.

  So, instead of linking to…

  https://vagrantsneaker.com/2014/05/01/exclusive-saucony-x-end-shadow-5000-burger/

  …you should link to:

  http://vagrantsneaker.com/2014/05/01/exclusive-saucony-x-end-shadow-5000-burger/

  Please let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything else I can do.
