Hi, My personal blog www.twiecki.io (GH pages link: twiecki.github.io) has an expired SSL certificate. I thought it would get updated automatically but it’s been over 1 week. Any ideas? Best, |

Hello, A DNS change triggered a certificate renewal attempt for your site. In your case, it seems an invalid IP address has been added to your domain: This looks to be from Namecheap and it has been causing few issues recently. It could have been added if you tried to setup some HTTP redirections there. Removing the invalid IP should clear the situation and help with the certificate renewal. |

I reached out to them but don’t have the sense they know what’s going on. They suggested I remove the CNAME www record, but that doesn’t seem right, does it? @slgraff I did disable it, does that take time to take effect? How can a new cert be issued? |

Visiting the Pages settings page would have been enough to trigger the certificate request. This is where we do a DNS check and queue up certificate renewal/re-provisioning when we detect changes. I kicked off a renewal manually and it was approved. Within 10 minutes the certificate will be available in the CDN. Something is funky with Namecheap lately. We do support |

I had a samilar issue with the Github pages. I used to redirect the Github page to a custom domain bought on Namecheap but I didn’t renew it this year. However, the Github page still redirects to the expired domain and I can’t turn on the “Parking Page” on the namecheap since my domain is already expired. Any idea to solve the redirect problem? |
