- clear your browser cache, come back to the site and retry
- post the exact URL you were getting to
- post the exact message you see. Detail is very important.
- screenshots are good

But please do not take this as meaning your blog is not secure. It is. Your password which you probably chose is and always will be the weakest link.

But we need extremely good detail. Without that we can do nothing.

I'm well aware that the crypto provided by this cert is still the same old SSL that was in use before the cert expired, the problem is that the certificate is used to authenticate the site is the actual site and not someone jacking the connection. In short, it's not the crypto I'm concerned about, it's the authentication the cert provides, which was the primary purpose behind public certificates to begin with.

It's March 8 now (at least where I live.) Surely the cert has arrived by now? (If not, what's the certificating authorities excuse for taking this long to provide it? Have they ever heard of FedEx?)

the SSL certificate is used here to establish a secure connection during logon procedure only. usually it happens on submitting 'Login' button from the .com frontpage or on the generic Secure login page at: httpS://wordpress.com/wp-login.php

the nagging message from the user client (browser) was merely a warning saying that the certificate couldn't be validated with the authorities it was issued by, but the connection itself indeed still remained encrypted and thus secure.

at least, it was far more secure than a login form you're currently getting redirected to from this very fora (if you wasn't logged in to your blog previously) -- because a password is still sent there as a clear unencrypted plain text.

I've been getting this error message since 02.23.08 and as you can see from the responses, some support mouthpiece keeps says "all is fine," and "don't worry."

Well, all isn't fine and if both Firefox and IE have entire sections devoted to Security Certificate errors, then there is a reason for the message.

It's clear the problem isn't resolved.

When calling "*******.wordpress.com/wp-admin", Firefox keeps telling me the certificate expired at 02/23/08.
When clicking continue, it says: certificate can't be validated through OCSP, because the server is busy.

That's all. Then nothing else happens and I can't login. Login only works when visiting de.wordpress.com and changing to my blog afterwards.
