 * Hi! I’m getting this Error on my Site Health!
 * **The REST API encountered an error**
 * The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the
   server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display,
   and save, your posts and pages.
 * The REST API request failed due to an error.
    Error: [] cURL error 60: SSL certificate
   problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frest-api-error-26%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * This might also be caused by a security plugin, limiting access to the API.

 * Check the php version on your server, and make sure your plugins and WordPress
   core are up to date.
