OK, Thank you. Let’s see what Hostgator has to say.

OK, I will let you know the outcome 😉

Could you please tell me how and where to update the script. I am still kind of new to all of this. TA

Dear Alin,
Just got a reply from the website host. Please see below:
Hi Michaela,
I have gone ahead and updated our test script so that it does the security checks and it still completes without error:

http://golf-hotspots.com/test.php

<?php
$curl = curl_init(‘https://www.google.com&#8217; . ($method == ‘GET’ && $params ? ‘?’ . $params : ”));

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);
$response = curl_exec($curl);

print curl_error($curl);

phpinfo();

Alin,
After installing the update this morning still no success. 🙁
Please see below the reply from Hostgator, the host of the website and further down todays error logg:

Ticket: BJH-27630832
Hello

Thank you for contacting HostGator.

Unfortunately, the issue looks to be in the plugin itself. I say this because I created a test.php file on your account:
http://golf-hotspots.com/test.php

This file uses:

<?php
$curl = curl_init('https://www.google.com' . ($method == 'GET' && $params ? '?' . $params : ''));

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
$response = curl_exec($curl);

print curl_error($curl);

phpinfo();
?>

Using curl to connect to https://www.google.com works without issue, as you can see in the above page that loads the Google search page. I would recommend contacting the developer of the plugin, and let them know that curl_ssl works, as shown in the above link, and request their assistance.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions or concerns.
