 * Hi, since a couple of days (maybe after updating to WP 4.0, but not sure), I 
   started getting the following error
 * WordPress error code: http_request_failed – Problem with the SSL CA cert (path?
   access rights?)
 * “Verify SSL connection” is already set to “no” and I also tried to clear keys
   and tokens and to regenerate them.
 * Any hints?
 * Thank you!

 * People who have had similar problems with other plug-ins have ended up resetting
   their server (see [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp-authentication-not-possible?replies=23)
   and [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7179216/php-problem-with-the-ssl-ca-cert-path-access-rights)).
 * What happens if you include:
 *     ```
       define('WP_DEBUG', true);
       ```
   
 * in `wp-config.php`. You should get a ton of (possibly) helpful diagnostics in
   your HTML.
 * The section I’d be most interested in would look something like:
 *     ```
       <!-- Using OAuth - version 1.1 of API - statuses/user_timeline -->
   
       <!-- Verifying SSL peer -->
   
       <!-- Setting timeout to 3 seconds -->
       <!-- wp_remote_request() variables in lib/wp_twitteroauth.php: 
   
       $args = Array
       (
           [method] => GET
           [timeout] => 3
           [sslverify] => 1
       )
   
       -->
       <!-- wp_remote_request() in lib/wp_twitteroauth.php successfully completed in 0.7398 seconds -->
       ```
