But you can also fis it by adding some code in your functions.php in your theme folder. Adding some code in the end of functions.php file: add_action('http_request_args', 'jkudish_http_request_args', 10, 2); function jkudish_http_request_args($args, $url) { $args['sslverify'] = false; return $args; } All will be OK now.
