Problem jetpack changing http to https for WP reader so saying site not connecte

it is happening randomly. I have several sites connected through jetpack to WordPress reader. My https site does not have a problem. my http blogs have a problem because jetpack randomly adds an s so https to the site address — I have checked this by clicking on view site. When this happens, people in wordpress reader cannot access my site in reader (clicking on post link or the like). I don’t know if I am losing stats when this happens — maybe because Google Analytics always shows more hits but that might be because Google is more accurate recording hits.

This has been going on for several months — a few followers have switched from using reader to get to my site and just go directly. There is no problem using direct links as http always works. it’s taken awhile to find out that is only happening if they try to access my site from reader and is random, not all the time. I thought at first I needed to update something so when I first saw it, I would just go to the site to update but that was not the problem. Took awhile to figure it out because I had to be on when someone complained to check if it was the site going down– which it wasn’t. Some checking after that narrowed it down to only people trying to visit my site from the reader. It is only a problem with my .org — hosted sites. It is not a problem with my wp.com blog — that one always seems to be connected into the reader correctly. It seems to only happen about 10% of the time if that but it’s still a problem.

The problem is jetpack usually doing http for the http site and then randomly for hours at a time suddenly doing https even though that is not the site address and never has been. Since there is no https site, browser come back with an error code of site not found. There needs to be a way to fix jetpack so that it only goes to the address as inputted which is http and not randomly change it to https.

It just cleared itself again. The only way to see it happening easily is to be in reader, on the stats page, if the red circle is up “can’t connect to site” , then it is happening.
