Security error message appears when browsing from re-directed URL

    Our client had a Wix site which was at https://www.dreambeds.nz
    That URL was registered with Wix too.
    They then realised the horrendous mistake that it is to create a site in Wix (couldn’t resist throwing that in, sorry).

    We created a new (WordPress) site for them at the URL they intend to use as their primary one from here on: https://dreambeds.co.nz

    Hosting is with GoDaddy

    We then added A Record on dreambeds.nz to point to the WordPress site / GoDaddy IP address.

    We then set up SSL certificate on https://dreambeds.co.nz

    The problem is that when someone browses directly to dreambeds.nz or finds that URL in search results they see:

    Safari can’t open the page “https://www.dreambeds.nz” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.dreambeds.nz”

    I’m puzzled as to the cause of this issue and would appreciate any guidance / assistance.

    Thanks in advance (and for the excellent plug-in too).

    It seems this issue is because you can’t re-direct an https://domain using A Record. Nothing to do with the Plug-In . Thanks anyway ??
