# ERROR: Dropbox API: (60) SSL certificate problem

 * Since a couple of days I am getting this error message:
 * ERROR: Dropbox API: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is 
   OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate
   verify failed
 * I have tried adding these lines to the functions.php
 * ‘add_filter(‘https_ssl_verify’, ‘__return_false’);’
    ‘add_filter(‘https_local_ssl_verify’,‘
   __return_false’);’
 * That doesn’t work.
 * I also installed plugin “Disable WordPress local connection SSL verifying”. That
   doesn’t work either.
 * Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

 * The “local” things will not help for this you can try [http://marketpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/backwpup-disable-ssl-verify.zip](http://marketpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/backwpup-disable-ssl-verify.zip)

 * I have this plugin installed on all of my sites. Quite a few are on the same 
   web host and the last couple of daysI am getting the same error #60 on 2 of the
   sites only.
 * I have installed the disable ssl plugin and that has not solved the problem. 
   Instead of the error #60 I get error #51.
 * ERROR: Dropbox API: (51) SSL: certificate subject name ‘server.xxx.xx’ does not
   match target host name ‘api-content.dropbox.com’
 * NOTE: I just put x’s for my server name to keep it private.
 * Is there a fix for this?
 * I would appreciate any help you can provide, because I really love this plugin.
