I installed the plugin on my website, but when the loginscreen opens i get the following message in the adres bar: Website nicht sicher ( IMG_5967 website not save) I am from Switzerland, so i use the german WP version. How to get rid of this error message ? Does`nt look very professional on my site :-( Hope someone can help me out here.

Hi

I think that may be the “Website not secure” message that your Browser shows if the website is not protected by a secure certificate (ie. using https)

You fix it you would need to purchase/install a secure certicate for your hosting and make sure your website url is configured to be https instead of http - there are WordPress SSL plugins that can help with this.

Kind regards

Ben

Dear Ben, first of all, thanks a lot for this splendid piece of software! Alas, though I have installed and activated it on my webpage which is protected by a working secure certificate (https://...) the link is presented as "not secure"! However, after having entered the password a secure link to my webpage is shown. where do I go wrong? Any idea? Thanks a lot for you support and again this execellent plugin! Cheers from Bernie
