SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK.

[brettchalupa]

I just setup the theme I am using on one of my Wordpress site to use Theme Updater. I got it working on another site I have hosted, but with the site I am getting the issue on is failing with theme updates.

Here is the error I am getting:

Download failed. SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed.

I am not entirely sure where the SSL certificate problem is coming from. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

I also have this problem. @brettchalupa What host are you with?

[brettchalupa]

@hawkrives For one site my host is GoDaddy, for the other site it is a on a small host self-hosted server of a friend.

I'll confirm that I also have this issue with the plugin not working on two different systems, both self-hosted on various networks. One is running WordPress 3.3.1 in standalone mode. One is running WordPress 3.3.1 in MultiSite mode.

This plugin is incredibly useful so I do hope the SSL issue can be fixed. Thanks!

UPDATE: Curiously, the auto-update is now WORKING on my WordPress 3.3.1 system in MultiSite mode. However, the system in standalone mode still fails with the SSL error noted here.

We are incredibly busy at the moment but one of us will try to find some time in the near future to look into this.

@conover Thanks a lot!

simply add this:

add_action('http_request_args', 'no_ssl_http_request_args', 10, 2); function no_ssl_http_request_args($args, $url) { $args['sslverify'] = false; return $args; }

[brettchalupa]

Great, thanks for sharing! I will try it out a.s.a.p.

As noted by these two last messages, I merged the change from @bainternet into my local copy of the plugin codebase, tested it on my WordPress installation where theme updates were failing previously and then issued a pull request to the plugin maintainers. If they agree with the merge hopefully the plugin can be updated soon on WordPress.org.

Pull request from danyork merged into master.
