    There seems to be an issue with an htaccess redirect to https and The Events Calendar. I had manually inserted a redirect in my htaccess file and it generated an error when visiting the calendar:
    error occurred during a connection to https://www.thesummitproject.org. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP

    I removed the redirect and the calendar worked.

    So I installed your plugin and…. the error returned ??

    Is there a way to configure the plugin so it won’t generate this error?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    the SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP error is shown when the webserver and browser cannot establish a common cipher to communicate securely. This is caused by a misconfiguration on the server and can be fixed by your hosting provider by adding additional ciphers in the server configuration.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks Mark.

    I noticed that the error only happens when using the www form of the address securely. so https://www.thesummitproject.org generates an error, https://thesummitproject.org does not (this is sitewide, not just limited to the calendar as I thought originally).

    That, I’m assuming, is an error in the way the cert is installed?

    It’s definitely caused by a server configuration. The ciphers are correctly configured for the non-www domain but incorrectly for the www domain.
