Sometimes while activating an API for WordPress, we get the error below when cURL is enabled.<\/p>\n

Error :-

————————————————————————————-
CURL error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK.
Details: error: 14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify
————————————————————————————–<\/p>\n

Cause :- This error means that cURL\u2019s CA cert bundle on your server is out of date or does not exist.
=====<\/p>\n

Fix :-
====<\/p>\n

If you get this error for a website hosted on a Windows server, then you need to follow the steps below:- <\/p>\n

1) Make sure you’ve first got the Curl’s CA cert available on the server and it shouldn’t be outdated.<\/p>\n

2) If it’s not avaialble then first download it from the link below:- <\/p>\n

http:\/\/curl.haxx.se\/docs\/caextract.html<\/p>\n

3) After this, update the php.ini file by adding the line below:- <\/p>\n

curl.cainfo = “PATH_TO\/cacert.pem”<\/p>\n

Restart web services and then again try to activate the API Key and this should have fixed the issue.<\/p>\n
