 * I was using this plugin, and it was working fine, so I was adding it to another
   blog I have as well and when I tried to log in to the plugin so it could connect(
   Google’s OAuth log in on the settings page) I got this error:
 * Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl
 * so I went to my other blog and found it too wasn’t working (it went down sometime
   in the last week) and the dashboard widget has this error
 * Error gathering analytics data from Google: Protocol https not supported or disabled
   in libcurlError gathering analytics data from Google: Protocol https not supported
   or disabled in libcurlError gathering analytics data from Google: Protocol https
   not supported or disabled in libcurlError gathering analytics data from Google:
   Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurlError gathering analytics 
   data from Google: Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurlCould not
   gather Google Analytics data.
 * Any help? I saw this support ticket [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-analytics-dashboard-add-https-support-to-the-dashboard-widget?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-analytics-dashboard-add-https-support-to-the-dashboard-widget?replies=1)
   and wondered if doing that would fix it for me? Not that I know exactly what 
   he did.

 * ok I figured out how to do what that linked above support ticket said worked 
   for them and it didn’t fix my issue. Any more ideas?

 * This is probably something the hosting company you are using has changed. You
   should contact them and ask them if they have disabled SSL support in libcurl
   under PHP. They may have done it for some security reason.
