Problem using it on local WordPress installation

Feels to me like all found configuration options are failing to connect like needed and thus it’s reaching this error point. Do you have any sort of firewall or ports closed that could be contributing to this?

The error above is thrown in the request method inside the ApiWrapper class found in includes/libraries/algoliasearch-client-php/src/RetryStrategy/ApiWrapper.php Not sure if you’re handy with something like XDebug but I’d end up setting up some breakpoints in there to see what’s happening myself. If you have logging enabled or know where the logs are stored, the method shows it should be writing something to those.

Not sure if you’re handy with something like XDebug

First time I hear about it :/

If you have logging enabled or know where the logs are stored, the method shows it should be writing something to those.

you mean WordPress debug mode?

Edit: I noticed Uniform server has the xdebug php module enabled by default…

Noted on line one.

Potentially but not guaranteed. I’m not sure how much we’ve wired up the debug logging that came with the plugin when we took it on for ongoing support.

I did ask around internally a moment and was provided this link and solution: https://github.com/WebDevStudios/wp-search-with-algolia/issues/87#issuecomment-683005495

This will apply if you’re using Local by Flywheel on Windows. Basically cURL couldn’t verify the HTTPS connection with Algolia, because the php.ini’s curl.cainfo didn’t point to a legit root cert

Well I’m using Uniform Server Portable
https://sourceforge.net/projects/miniserver/files/Uniform%20Server%20ZeroXIV/14_0_2_ZeroXIV/
Perhaps is best if you can reproduce the issue with it?

I don’t have windows available at the moment so at least for me personally that’s not so much an option.

I am curious if it’d work just fine on a non-local install for you, or if there’s something specific to your site that’s preventing success here, local or otherwise.

That said, I’d still be most curious what the API request responses are, but I have no way to determine what those are as I can’t access your local copy.

Okey, well first I found no php.ini.hbs file, and there’s isn’t as well a “conf\php\” folder so I guess I have to create both of them. So if I create them the file “php.ini.hbs” should contain this code?

[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an absolute path.
curl.cainfo = "d:\dev\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt"

To clarify, “Local by Flywheel” is a local development application and the mentioned php.ini.hbs file is one specific to it, so you don’t need to create one.

What we’d be essentially looking for, if your issue is close to the same, is wherever Uniform Server Portable stores its php configuration files. You’ll want to open, review, and potentially edit those.

You’ll also need to make sure your path values are matching your own install, as opposed to copy/pasting exactly what Dave has in his comment on GitHub.

Yes it worked!!! ?? it returns this now:

We succesfully managed to connect to the Algolia servers with the provided information. Your search API key has also been checked and is OK.

Question: in the future these steps should not be necessary?

Unsure how necessary what steps you took will be needed, as it’s more specific to your local dev environment instead of the plugin itself.

Okey I did as follows
1. extracted the certificate file and moved it on to

L:\UniServerZvweb2020-12-03vYoastSEO\core\apache2\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt
2. to the php.ini file in use by Uniform server added these lines
[curl]

; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
curl.cainfo = L:\UniServerZvweb2020-12-03vYoastSEO\core\apache2\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt

3. restarted the local server
