I just installed the Modern Events calendar plugin and I’m getting this error: "file_get_contents" and “Curl” functions are not activated on your server. Please contact your host provider in this regard. Are those services turned on in Local Lightning?

They are trying to pull a remote .json file. I reached out to them and they said it was a server issue. If I put this up on a server it works properly but not with Local. Must be some sort of block because I’m working locally. Here is the error Log: [06-Aug-2020 20:27:44 UTC] PHP Warning: get_headers(): SSL operation failed with code 1.

Nice! I think you’re reading of the error message is correct – it’s something preventing the WordPress site from making a secure connection over HTTPS. From the log path separator, it looks like you are using macOS – what version is installed? If you click on the “Trust” button within Local to register the SSL certificate with the computer, does that remove the error message and allow you to use those functions?

Hi Ben, I’m using 10.15.6. I do have the SSL trusted. Is there a way to re-trust the cert? Or there’s an issue with the SSL locally which doesn’t validate.

I also just did a test using Lando as a local environment and the SSL issue did not happen. Must be something with Local Lightning.

Thanks for mentioning that it’s working with Lando! Since Lando is built on Docker, that makes me think that there’s an issue with the OpenSSL certs that Local’s version of PHP is using. As a test, I tried using the URL in the error message you provided and was able to connect to the API over HTTPS: https://webnus.net/modern-events-calendar/addons-api/addons-api.json [image] Do you have any antivirus software installed? Since Local’s software is installed directly on the Host machine, it might be that there is something that is interfering with Local’s version of PHP. The reason that something like Lando would work in this case is that it’s a virtualized environment and so it wouldn’t be subject to security settings on the host machine.

I don’t have any anti-virus software installed. I was able to connect to that url as well.

If I provided the plugin, could you try on your end to see if it’s an issue with my computer or an issue with they way Local uses openSSL?

Sure @mikemuller – If you send me a DM, with the plugin attached I can take a look. Just so I know exactly where I’m looking – what’s the URL where you are seeing that original error message?

Just sent a message to you. Let me know if you did not get it.

Thanks for your patience with this @mikemuller – I tried various permutations of site setup: New site with “Site domains” router mode, over regular HTTP New site with “Site domains” router mode, over HTTPS New site with “localhost” router mode, over HTTP In all those cases, I was able to access the “addon” page for that plugin in the WP admin. That makes me think that there’s something specific with that site, possibly a conflict with another plugin or the theme. [image] Can you try using that plugin on a new, plain WordPress site with the default theme? If that does work for you then I would recommend zeroing in on which plugins are causing issues by deactivating them and re-enabling them one-by-one.
