Jan. 6, 2026 /Mpelembe Media/ — Trouble with dedugging code is that when you fix one issue and then end up creating more bugs. Gemini is a good coding assistant. Here is how Gemini fixed an error in under 5 minutes
Based on the domain structure and related sites (like style.mpelembe.net which is “Powered by Blogger”), your site vionde.mpelembe.net appears to be hosted on Blogger (Blogspot) using a custom domain.
Since I cannot view the live error on your screen, the issue is almost certainly one of two things: Mixed Content (images/players loading over HTTP) or a Settings configuration.
Here is how to fix the SSL issue for your post.
Scenario 1: You see a “Not Secure” warning, but the page loads (Mixed Content)
This is the most common issue for blog posts containing media (like the “Mix Stanley Clarke” post). It means the page is secure (HTTPS), but it is pulling an image, audio player, or widget from an insecure (HTTP) source.
How to fix it:
-
Open the post editor in Blogger for “Mix Stanley Clarke”.
-
Switch to HTML View (click the pencil/code icon on the top left of the toolbar).
-
Press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F) and search for
http://. -
Look for any links that start with
http://inside<img src="...">,<audio>,<iframe>, or<script>tags.-
Example:
<img src="http://example.com/image.jpg">
-
-
Change
http://tohttps://for those links.-
Note: If the image/file is hosted on a server that doesn’t support HTTPS, the link might break. In that case, you need to download the image, re-upload it directly to Blogger, and use the new Blogger link.
-
-
Update/Publish the post.
Scenario 2: You see a full-page “Your connection is not private” error
This means the SSL certificate itself is missing or invalid. This often happens if the “HTTPS” setting was accidentally turned off or if the domain DNS settings were changed recently.
How to fix it in Blogger:
-
Go to your Blogger Dashboard > Settings.
-
Scroll down to the HTTPS section.
-
Ensure “HTTPS availability” is switched to ON.
-
Status Check: It might say “Pending” or “Unknown”. If so, wait 15-60 minutes and refresh the page.
-
-
Ensure “HTTPS redirect” is switched to ON. (This forces visitors to the secure version automatically).
How to verify the exact error
If you aren’t sure which one it is:
-
Visit your post:
https://vionde.mpelembe.net/2026/01/mix-stanley-clarke.html -
Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect (or Inspect Element).
-
Click the Console tab at the top of the new panel.
-
Look for Red or Yellow warnings:
-
Mixed Content: It will say “Mixed Content: The page at ‘…’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image…”.
-
Certificate Error: It will mention
net::ERR_CERT_....
-
If these steps don’t resolve it, please copy the specific error message you see (e.g., “NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID” or “Mixed Content”) so I can give you a precise solution.
