 * Hi!
 * After installing Paypal I receive this message:
 * WooCommerce Gateway PayPal Express Checkout requires OpenSSL >= 1.0.1 to be installed
   on your server
 * Can anyone help? Would really appreciate it!

 * Yes, take a look at that thread as it provides links for testing your cURL and
   OpenSSL installations. You may have OpenSSL 1.0.1+ but cURL may not be using 
   it.
