Fix for the SSL issue in Chrome 44 – NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

  • Hi guys,

    Just wanted to share a fix for a bug in Chrome 44 that is breaking WordPress site everywhere. Happens in Chrome 44 release (version 44.0.2403.89) that was released this week, but also in Chrome version 45 betas.

    When loading your website in Chrome 44 you’ll get error message:

    Your connection is not private

    ‘Attackers might be trying to steal your information from https://www.yourdomain.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID”

    Read up here:
