  Hi, when I link people to my wordpress blog, it automatically goes to the page that says:
  Shield icon
  There is a problem with this website’s security certificate.
  The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website’s address.
  Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to trick you or intercept any data you send to the server.
  We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.
  Recommended iconClick here to close this webpage.
  Not recommended iconContinue to this website (not recommended).

  How can I stop this from happening?

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

  Same for me, I think it may be because you are using another domain name ie .com .org but I don’t know how to cure it.

  Staff have been implementing the more secure https on on our blogs and that is giving rise to your issue. Note this HTTPS support doc, http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/ SSL certificates need to be signed to a specific domain, and we can’t provide certificates for every mapped domain, so our certificate is signed for WordPress.com. To access your site without a certificate error, please be sure to use the HTTP version of your site’s URL.
