Your connection is not private – people cannot get onto my website, help!
-
Hi, I recently started a new free blog to promote my business , the website was working fine, but now when I try to access it via a browser it says ‘your connection is not private, attackers may be trying to steal your information’. Also, I’ve sent some emails to various event people etc and when I try to reply to their replies to the original message, it sometimes tells me I’m blocked and can’t reply.
Help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey there,
Your site loads perfectly from my end. Maybe you can try clearing your browser’s cookies and cache and then try again. Also, make sure you’re trying to load https://megansveganpicknmix.wordpress.com instead of http://megansveganpicknmix.wordpress.com/ -
It works fine for me as I clicked on the security message and clicked advanced and allowed it. But I’ve emailed people with that link (https: ) and they can’t get onto it, even tested it by sending an email to my boyfriend and it just comes up with that message.

I guess you are adding ‘www‘ in front of your domain name. Opening up https://megansveganpicknmix.wordpress.com loads fine whereas trying to load it through https://www.megansveganpicknmix.wordpress.com produces the error page you’re talking about in the above posts.

Hi there,
Looks like @4gn3l helped you get to the bottom of this. I just want to add that this is intentional.
http://www.megansveganpicknmix.wordpress.com, megansveganpicknmix.wordpress.com, and https://megansveganpicknmix.wordpress.com will all work without giving a warning, but https://www.megansveganpicknmix.wordpress.com won’t work. That’s normal, and is due to the way the redirects work on our end.
All browsers these days are smart enough to add the https:// themselves, though, so you only need to type in http://www.megansveganpicknmix.wordpress.com or megansveganpicknmix.wordpress.com. Don’t add the http or https manually.
