It has been reported to Dreamhost and they're looking into it.

Interestingly the other certs, i.e. for up.metropol are fine, it's just www. that seems to be playing up.

The intermediate certificate is missing or not set up correctly. I think that means that if the browser cant (very quickly) ping the CA it has no way of validating the cert. I've done it myself with paid certificates and the problems only reared its head weeks later - I guess it's more prevalent with Let's Encrypt as the servers are likely to be less robust than a paid one? Dunno.

Yup, understand what's causing it. Just I've only got a ticky box to do anything. Would rather they identify and fix the bug properly than just try to bodge it unticking and reticking the box.
