Website Security Certificate

    Every time I try to load my website I get this security message:

    (Shield icon)
    There is a problem with this website’s security certificate

    It is not just my Laptop this is happening on.
    Any ideas how to solve this. Is there a way to update the security certificate?

    Many thanks for your help

  • is it on localhost or server?

    thats something called SSL. google for more info.
    basically you need to set those certificates for your server/PC for SSL to work.

    check for FORCE_SSL_ADMIN and/or FORCE_SSL_LOGIN in your wp-config.php file and remove if found.

    also check if your date/time is set proper.

    PS: SSL is good for admin and login. but it can slow down the site in those areas, and this error message will scare off visitors. your call.

    That has to do with your entire site, not the computer you are accessing it from.

    Shadez had it right. That is related to your SSL certificate.

    This generally happens when your pulling in content from an HTTP source, but your site is on HTTPS. I find it happenes mostly on my client sites when they are using google fonts from the google CDN. Hardcoding the URL’s to https:// generally resolves the issue.
