Hi Mark,
“cURL errors are usually caused by an outdated version of cURL or PHP. What cURL version and PHP version are you using? ”
I’m using PHP 7.2 and Curl 7.29.0 on CentOS 7. There’s nothing “outdated” about this setup. And like I said, it was working fine before and also works fine on dozens of other wordpress sites.
“The mixed_content_fixer_detected() function tries to check for the data-rsssl=1 marker in the page source. What is happening is that the cURL request cannot retrieve your homepage to check for the data-rsssl=1 marker.”
Right, but there’s nothing blocking that request so I have no idea why its usually not working. Unless for whatever reason, the page request is taking longer than 5 seconds to complete? Because you’ve changed your check from directly calling curl to using wp_remote_get (which then calls curl), your help page should be updated to reflect that you now have to create filters in order to change how curl operates as it looks like wordpress is going to override any settings you try to use.
