 * When logging into wordpress account to edit website, we are getting the message
   ‘
   This connection not secure’. and the red line through the lock symbol; [http://badgerbraves.org/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fbadgerbraves.org%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://badgerbraves.org/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fbadgerbraves.org%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
   Just started to appear. Can log in OK but why the not secure message?

 * You can log in. But it would be best to activate SSL on your hosting, [http://lojomarketing.com/why-do-i-need-an-ssl-certificate-for-my-website/](http://lojomarketing.com/why-do-i-need-an-ssl-certificate-for-my-website/)

 * I suppose you’re getting that message in Google Chrome? If so it is intended 
   behaviour. Googly tries to “nudge” site owners to implement SSL.
