Support » Plugins » Awesome Flickr Gallery -SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer cert

  • I am having a displaying the photos on our WP website homepage – it has something to do with Awesome Flickr Gallery plug-in error that recently started showing up. I believe this has something to do with the recent update of the plugin (V3.5) The following error is showing on our WP website:
    Awesome Flickr Gallery Error – SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate.
    I am having a hard time addressing the issue to the developer of the plugin as I cannot create an account on his site using my Google sign. I am hoping the Ronak Gandhi (AFG developer) will see my post in hopes of addressing the problem with his plugin.
    In addition, I am confused as to what version of the AFG plugin I should be using. The WP site latest downloadable version is 3.3.5 but my site’s version shows 3.5. Any ides on how to fix this issue is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Ronak-
    When you have the opportunity, kindly advise on how to fix this issue. I really need to have the plugin working. Thank you so much for your attention to this issue.

    The issue is with your web host. It is not presenting a valid CA root certificate while connecting to Flickr over https.

    Refer to this link to download a valid CA root certificate bundle to fix this problem.

    Thanks for sending the link. I was able to find the php.ini file but I am not sure where would I insert the following into the code:

    curl.cainfo=c:\php\cacert.pem

    I am new to php and would like to get some advice on how to accomplish this. Would installing the certificate via the IIS Manager work? Is there an easier way for non coders to fix the SSL local certificate issue?

    I look forward to your response. Thank you.

    The process differs from one hosting setup to another. Best way to go about it is work with your hosting provider to get the CA root certificate fixed.

    Remember that this problem is not specific to Flickr over https. If your website tries to communicate with any other website over https, it will face this issue. It’s just that Flickr moved over to https for their API, so many people are seeing this problem only now.
