 * Hi,
 * As this is now one of the best SSL plugins available on WordPress, is there any
   chance something can be done with SSL certificates issued by Cloudflare. On the
   RSSSL plugin dashboard is nearly always shows up as an error. However everything
   with the SSL is good.
 * Just wondering if something can be done to make this issue go or for better integration
   with Cloudflare?

 * As an ssl certificate from Cloudflare should not be different from ‘normal’ certificates,
   the issue is most likely that the curl request which tries to retrieve the data
   is blocked somehow.
 * We use cloudflare ourselves, and the request is not blocked: the cert shows as
   valid. So cloudflare is not blocking it. This makes me think your hosting provider
   blocks the request. If you’re interested we can make a version with some logs
   that will allow us to view the response on the request. This might give us some
   insight into the issue.

 * Hi Rogier,
 * Thanks for that.
 * I just tried RSSSL on another server with Cloudflare, and it worked without any
   errors. So your thinking about the hosting provider rings true it seems.
 * I don’t mind about another version if it helps you. I do know that host where
   I am getting this error is likely not to do anything – and I am getting a full
   green padlock and SSL approval etc so the error only seems limited to the plugin
   backend dashboard?

 * [@ontheroad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ontheroad/) I think this indeed
   confirms it’s the host blocking it, so I guess we won’t be able to do anything
   about that.
 * You’re right: the error just means it can’t confirm the certificate, not that
   there’s an error with the certificate as such. So you’re good, you can ignore
   this message.
