Problem to open a Wordpress Website - Security alert messages

Support
1

Hello,

I have a problem to open Wordpress sites that I have created via Local by Flywheel (Windows version).

When I push the button “Admin” to have access to my website and when I try to enter my password in the dedicated page, I receive alert messages explaining that the connexion is not secured.

  1. When I use Firebox to open the website, I receive the following message: “La connexion n’est pas sécurisée. Les identifiants saisis ici pourraient en être compromis”.

  2. When I use Microsoft Explorer, I receive the following message:

Désolé, nous ne pouvons pas atteindre cette page

Many thanks in advance for your help,

Hi there,

This may be due to browsers being hyper secure and seeing that there is a password field on the page, but not on a HTTPS connection. Usually you can ignore the alert and continue as per normal.

I’d also check your Hosts file to see if polish-club-v1.local is set to route to 127.0.0.1.

If you’re not comfortable with editing your hosts file directly, I recommend using Hostsman, it provides a simple and secure interface for any edits. Including backups.

Let me know how you get on,
