 * Hi,
 * I am using wordpress 4.9.4 on local host using wampserver. However, when I try
   to download any plugin or theme in dashboard I get the below error :
 * cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate
   chain.
 * I tried to edit the php.ini file (curl.info) with cacert.pem as mentioned in 
   various links online but still my download gets failed due to curl 60 error.
 * Below is the edit line in php.ini file.
 * curl.cainfo = “C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.31\extras\ssl\cacert.pem”

 * Hi,
 * this doesn’t have to do with Really Simple SSL but is usually caused by not having
   an up to date bundle of CA root certificates. What you can try is to download
   the latest Mozilla CA certificate store here [https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html](https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html)
   and replace your current cacert.pem with the new cacert.pem. For more information
   see [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21187946/curl-error-60-ssl-certificate-issue-self-signed-certificate-in-certificate-cha](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21187946/curl-error-60-ssl-certificate-issue-self-signed-certificate-in-certificate-cha)

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for your reply.
    I tried downloading cacert from mozilla and followed 
   the steps shared in the document but still getting same error. I tried restarting
   wampserver services also but same issue.

 * What also helps often is to upgrade your PHP version.
