    This afternoon, our weather widget started displaying the following:

    Failure notice from provider:
    Connection Error:http_request_failed

    Do you know what this means and if there’s anything I can do to fix it?

    thanks!

    If you are on a local installation this is a known ‘feature’ of WordPress and has nothing to do with the plugin to fix disable SSL verification within your testing site.

    You can do this by adding this line into the file

    Appearance > Theme Editor > functions.php or

    /wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/functions.php:

    add_filter('https_ssl_verify', '__return_false');

    Only add this on a testing site, never on a live site.

    Hi Tuxlog. Thanks for the excellent support.
    I added the filter into a test sites functions.php file and it worked like a charm. Can I do the same on the LIVE sites functions.php file?

    Great to hear it works. ??

    The SSL problem should not appear on a live site. I only have seen this on local installations. You should never disable SSL on a live site.

    Thanks again for the advice. I will contact my hosting provider regarding further actions required on the live site to solve this issue.

    Hope to be using this excellent plug-in for some years to come.
