Default Re: SSL Certificate error.

A full software update didn't help, but the following workround seems to be working for now:

Edit the URL in the bookmarks, removing the 's' from the 'https'.

Clear the browser cache, before and after the above.

Visit the site, and all recently visited posts.

Nope. That worked, but only for a while. I am at a loss.

Default Re: SSL Certificate error.

There are a lot of reported Android issues following this change on the cPanel forums (the web server uses cPanel).

https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/cp....673981/page-9

I have emailed the hosting company to see if it is possible to replace the free Let's Encrypt SSL with a different free type. However as it is a shared hosting platform rather than a dedicated server this may not be possible.

The SSL has now been renewed, albeit with another Let's Encrypt one. Please restart your devices then try again and let us know whether it has helped or not.

Even I had to reload the page to pick up that new SSL certificate on my up to date Linux desktop.

From tests on a couple of old Android devices that hasn't helped. I have contacted the hosting company again.

Thanks to Paul. Sadly there's no change.

The SSL has now been replaced with a cPanel/Sectigo one which works for me.

Hopefully that is the issue sorted for everyone now.

I will get my other website and BVWS website SSLs replaced over the next few hours.

You may need to restart your devices before this works correctly.

I am working through BVWS websites and my websites now so there could be brief issues with them in turn (the old SSL has to be removed before installing the new one which means there is no SSL for about a minute).

Presume this includes the Radiocraft and Copycoder sites? No need to reply if it does.

Default Re: SSL Certificate error.

All my websites, BVWS websites and my clients' websites are now on cPanel/Sectigo SSLs which should work with older Android devices etc.

Any problems please let me know but hopefully this is sorted now.
