 * this means your server has trouble communicating with the flattr api endpoint.
   The plugin will basically work for you but the feature auf autosubmitting your
   posts to the flattr catalog will not work.
 * The only way to fix this is to contact your hosting provider and let them check
   it. Maybe a firewall issue?
 * Also, maybe your hosting providers PHP implementation is missing an (Open-)SSL
   module which is necessary for HTTPS communication.

 * My hosting provider has updated php and checked OpenSSL, however the problem 
   is not solved.
 * I tried this link [http://localhost/wp-admin/admin.php?q=Flattr&flattrJAX=true&page=flattr%2Fflattr.php](http://localhost/wp-admin/admin.php?q=Flattr&flattrJAX=true&page=flattr%2Fflattr.php)
   and this is the result: {“result”:”failed”,”feature”:”Flattr”,”text”:null}
 * This is [PHPINFO](http://www.esseci.tv/phpinfo/) of my hosting provider. Help
   please.

 * If you run your page on **localhost** you obviously don’t run it in your hosting
   providers servers. Sorry, I can not provide technical assistance…

 * Obviously instead of **localhost **I used the **name of my domain**. I’m not 
   using the plugin in the local server but only on my domain.
 * And i get this result:
    {“result”:”failed”,”feature”:”Flattr”,”text”:null}

 * Ok I solved the problem, the problem was related to the firewall … Anyway, now
   I get this message when I finish the configuration.
 *  If this is your name and avatar authentication was successfull.
    If the Displayed
   name and avatar do not match start over. You need to authorize your blog ounces
   only!
 * But I do not see any avatar … I’ve did something wrong?

 * Did you ever solve it TheSharingWorlds?
    I have the same (“if this is your avatar”…
   but no avatar) since aaages, and can’t figure out whats wrong. A bit annoying.
