Recent outage -- SSL cert issue

Site is up again. Apologies for it being down for a day. In reality, it was up if you didn't use SSL, but browsers will always use SSL if available so that's not exactly helpful. lol

The short version is the SSL cert got "stuck" and needed to be renewed but it couldn't. For my future reference, here is something that needs to be done (I'm about to do it) to fix this if it happens again --

Edit: Directions followed. This should hopefully not be a problem again. I guess we'll find out in 61 days.


Thanks,

Maybe it can tell me why our site icon suddenly isn't working and also fix the "not secure" icon when it also says "certificate is valid." I suspect it's because of the type of cert that is in use. I might change a setting back. It doesn't actually mean anything; it just means don't enter your banking information to this site like a DAMN idiot. :)
