Run the domain through https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ to see if it picks up any problems with the SSL certificate and configuration.
Hi – I’m having the same issue with my feeds since the 4.8 update. Did you happen to figure out a solution?
Still busy trying to get the root issue fixed.
@macmanx thanks for the tip. Helped us to realise our root chain something something is incorrect so busy fixing that.
@trabeculae We managed to do a workaround in the meantime by changing the rss aggregators code to ignore insecure links in the curl call ( equivalent of -k)
If it is the same issue, it may be fixed when ssl issue is fixed. But will post once I hear back from systems on an eta to fixing it.
@ninjakitteh Thanks for that. Our system team appears to have fixed our issue – there were some changes that needed to be made to the intermediate certificate rather than the root SSL certificate.
Hello,
now, I have the same problem after updating wordpress (4.8.1). And iTunes was rejected my podcast. Need really help.
Error: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:661)
Thanks

Please see above for recommendations.
Hello,
I’m sorry, I’ve read the posts. Unfortunately, I do not understand the content. I’m not a technician. I would help me, if I knew who must solve the problem. WordPress? My hoster? Maybe you can tell me again in simple terms, what exactly is the problem? Thank you!
Regards
Katrin

The problem is because your certificate’s chain incomplete: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=knie-marathon.de&hideResults=on
I recommend contacting your hosting provider or certificate authority (if you didn’t acquire the SSL certificate from your hosting provider) about this.
Thank you!.
The only thing that surprises me is that there were 11 months no problems with the certificate (incl. iTunes) and now after the wordpress update at once.
I’m having this same problem. I recently switched our sites to SSL. SSLLabs says they get an A. But the feed extension in Joomla chokes on SSL and only works with http. I had to fallback to http and force ssl for login and admin pages.
I’d like the whole site to be https, but I have to resolve this problem first.
I’m running WordPress 4.8.2 on https://blog.vvfh.org.
I’m running Joomla 3.8.1 on https://www.vvfh.org/
I’m using the Simple RSS Feed Reader extension on Joomla to read http://blog.vvfh.org/feed/rss2.
The server runs php 7.1.10. All three sites are on the same server running as virtualhosts with a wildcard cert *.vvfh.org.
This is the error I’m seeing:
Warning: fopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed in /usr/home/schmehl/Sites/www.vvfh.org/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 335 Warning: fopen(): Failed to enable crypto in /usr/home/schmehl/Sites/www.vvfh.org/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 335 Warning: fopen(http://blog.vvfh.org/feed/rss2): failed to open stream: operation failed in /usr/home/schmehl/Sites/www.vvfh.org/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 335
I can view the feed fine in Google Chrome. So, I’m thinking it’s a problem with the Simple RSS Feed Reader, but then I found this thread. Now, I’m not so sure.

In trying to track down the source of this problem, I found this here: https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.vvfh.org%2Ffeed%2Frss2
This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

FEED Validator
DOCUMENTATION
Message
Use of unknown namespace: http://namespace.uri/
Explanation
Even though the feed validator has build in support for quite a large number of popular namespaces, you somehow managed to have found one that the feed validator does not (yet) support.
Solution
Check your namespace declaration for misspellings. If you misspell the namespace URI, this information may not be recognized by feed consumers.
If the namespace is spelled correctly, be aware that the feed validator is unable to verify the correct usage this namespace. Also be aware that this namespace is not likely to be widely supported.
If you know of a namespace that you feel that the feed validator should support, let us know. Please include in your request a pointer to the documentation for the namespace. Such documentation should describe the XML elements and attributes defined for this namespace.
Not clear? Disagree?
You might be able to find help in one of these fine resources.
I don’t know if this means that WordPress needs to register the namespace or it’s misspelled or if the problem is something else. I thought I’d post it so someone knowledgeable could take a look.

So, for future reference, you said you had the same exact problem and them proceeded to describe a different problem (you were close, but only half the error matches). Please don’t do that in future posts here, because it’s essentially hijacking someone else’s topic.
Your WordPress feed is valid, but Joomla is refusing to accept it, when means you need to follow up with Joomla’s support regarding why it won’t accept a valid feed.
Hello,
I have discussed with my hoster for two weeks. They claim that the problem is in the application software. The certificate would be implemented correctly. What to do?
