 * Hi,
    I have been trying to use the Mendeley plugin for my research group website
   to showcase our publications. However, I get the following error. “Failed retrieving
   OAuth2 access token: SSL connect error” Can you please tell me what is the problem
   and how I can solve it. Before this, I was trying the same on localhost and there
   it worked fine. Now, I am trying to upload my website on university’s server.

 * One possible reason for the problem is that you did not change the redirect URL
   when moving the plugin. But I am not sure about this. Try to set up the plugin
   from start (including registering an Mendeley Application).
