New site "not secure" on some browsers/devices, but loading fine on others. Please help!

About 48 hours ago, I connected my Weebly website to a domain I bought from NameCheap. I activated SSL on the website settings and it's shown as Enabled. But since sharing the website link with several folks today, I've heard that some of them have not been able to access the website due to getting a "Not Secure" SSL certificate expiration warning. Others have had no problem accessing the website.

In fact, when I tried loading the website on Safari on my desktop, I got the Not Secure warning too. But when I try to load the site on other browsers on other devices, it works totally fine and the connection checks out as secure.

I called Weebly yesterday and they said the site has fully propagated and was loading fine on their end. Then I checked with NameCheap about the DNS and they said everything looks fine on their end and I should contact the SSL provider, which is Weebly.

Is this SSL error something that can happen within the first 24-48 hours of connecting a third party domain to a Weebly site? Do I need a new SSL certificate? In any event, I figured I'd make a post here and put the question to @Bernadette and @Adam 

The website is bostontrails.org

UPDATE: I spoke with Weebly support again and the closest thing we have to a theory is that this issue might be happening for people using older versions of Safari on Mac desktop computers that can't support the latest OS.

Thanks for reaching out, @mph1988 I do see that the SSL is enabled properly. I'm on an older Mac and can load the site okay if that helps at all.
