  When I enter site name on URL I get a message: This connection is untrusted. This just started happening today. It has never happened before. If I Google the site name, or go to it from a link, it connects perfectly.

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

  Hi there!

  This is likely happening because you’re visiting the https:// version of your URL instead of the http://.

  If you navigate to your site without the ‘s’ you shouldn’t see the error anymore.

  Please note that those are security warnings that some browsers display when you use https. You can read more about that here:

  Please let me know if I can clarify anything about that!
