 * SSLs don’t necessarily also apply to subdomains. You either need a wildcard certificate,
   that will apply to all subdomains, a multi domain certificate, or a separate 
   certificate for each site. You’ll probably need to talk to your host about this.
   Or whoever set up your original SSL.

 * Thanks for your reply .
 * If the clone the site again ( subdomain level ) and overwrite the original domain(
   delete and migrate through backupbuddy ) will the error go away ?
 * I just want to confirm before I do the transfer .
 * Thanks again .

 * The error is that your SSL is not valid for subdomains, so that error will not
   appear on the main domain regardless of what is on it.
