All,

Simply open up your PHP.INI file and add the following line:

curl.cainfo = “PATH_TO/cacert.pem”

Get cacert.pem file from
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
and place it in the PATH_To.

Example:

I am running the WAMPDeveloper Stack on Windows from DevSide.net

I added the following line at the bottom of my PHP.INI file
curl.cainfo = “C:\WampDeveloper\Tools\curl\cacert.pem”

Then I placed the cacert.pem downloaded above in:
c:\wampdeveloper\tools\curl

Works perfectly for most stacks, BUT NOT ALL, and resolves the issue for any plug-in looking for an updated CA.

I would still like to see the developer properly include a cacerts.pem with the plug-in.

Hope this helps,

Jason Palmer

Seems that it is perhaps the responsibility of the developer of the application/plug-in to explicitly point to a current cacert.pem file – especially for WordPress users running on Windows AMP stacks such as Bitnami or WampDeveloper (Devside.net).

Backupbuddy, Vaultpress, and Google Analytics plug-in’s all distribute a cacert.pem file and I assume use the proper CURL Reference such as:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, ’C:/accessible/by/apache/cacert.pem);
and
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);

Please review the following for reference:

A good Mozilla.org CA Cert Bundle file is available here:

It would be greatly appreciated by many if you could quickly update the
plug-in to call its’ own VALID cacerts.pem file.

To clarify, Genesis depreciated the original widget and referred everyone to a 3rd Party Developed Plug-in that is in its’ 1.0 untested and flawed release. It has not been updated to work with the latest version of WordPress. As you can see from the Posts, many are having issues with it not working at all.
