 * Currently getting the following error:
 * SSL: CA certificate set, but certificate verification is disabled Please ensure
   your calendar ID is correct.
 * I haven’t been able to find any sort of solutions online. Any suggestions would
   be extremely useful.

 * It’s the calendar on the right hand side of this page: [http://www.capecommunityservices.org/poolfitness/richard-pool/](http://www.capecommunityservices.org/poolfitness/richard-pool/)
 * When not logged in as an admin it just shows up as grayed out and there being
   no events. The error message appears above the calendar when logged in though.

 * Here is the calendar ID:
    [capeelizabethschools.org_f5ck1puas9sfeqkv70gcap746s@group.calendar.google.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-cerificate-error/capeelizabethschools.org_f5ck1puas9sfeqkv70gcap746s@group.calendar.google.com?output_format=md)
 * This issue is still happening and follows what Andy wrote above. When you are
   not logged in the calendars are grayed out. When logged in, you get the error:
 * SSL: CA certificate set, but certificate verification is disabled Please ensure
   your calendar ID is correct.
    We did not have a Google API so I just set it up
   and did not change anything.

 * I’m getting the same error message.
 * Followed all instructions in the plugin, and tried setting the calendar to public
   to test it wasn’t that but no luck.
 * API is set up and Calendar API is turned on.
 * Please could you take a look?

 * Dave, is your Google account part of a google domain or is it just a [@gmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmail/).
   com account? Just seeing if this is part of the problem or not.

 * Hi Jason,
 * The calendar and the API access are set up under an [@gmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmail/)
   account.
 * We’ve had to revert to just embedding the calendar using an `iframe`. Looks awful
   but works :-/

 * [@nickyoung87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickyoung87/)
 * As a temporary fix, setting `'sslverify' => true` in the `wp_remote_get()` function
   on line 152 of “class-gce-feed.php” seems to fix the issue.
 * SSL verification was set to false, but an SSL certificate was provided, so it
   was returning the error:
 * > SSL: CA certificate set, but certificate verification is disabled
 * I’m guessing this is due to the Google API feed url being “[https://www.googleapis.com/…&#8221](https://www.googleapis.com/…&#8221);
 * Hope this helps!

 * After some further investigation, I think the problem may be server setup, rather
   than the plugin.
 * [This Stack Overflow question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26463713/wp-remote-post-returns-an-error-on-ssl-connection)
   may help you.
 * I was getting the error locally, but there is no error on our staging server.

 * [@dave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dave/),
 * Yeah I think we leave it that way mostly because of this – from the WP Site:
 * > If you are requesting HTTPS and know that the site is self-signed or is invalided
   > and are reasonably sure that it can be trusted, then set to false.
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/HTTP_API#Other_Arguments](http://codex.wordpress.org/HTTP_API#Other_Arguments)
 * Since it is a direct call to Google we assume it is generally safe and don’t 
   require the check.
 * I am glad you were able to get it working, and it probably does just boil down
   to server configurations like stated in the SO response.

 * Haven’t quite figured it out but it might be server related in a different way.
   When I did the sslverify, I got the following message when looking at the calendar“
   SSLRead() return error -9806”. When I googled the error, I found [this posting](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26461966/osx-10-10-curl-post-to-https-url-gives-sslread-error)
   and I’m wondering if I’m in the same boat with my PHP since I’m running this 
   on 10.10 as well. I might have to install a new version of PHP.

 * Also, I had tried setting the SSLVerifyClient to none but had no success with
   it.

 * Finally! That post was correct. The php built into Yosemite has SecureTransport,
   not openssl and that was causing the error -9806 that I was seeing. Followed 
   the instructions (after miserably failing at getting macports to work) and the
   server updated the php version to an openssl version.

 * Awesome! Yes thank you for posting that additional info for anyone else. I will
   probably refer anyone else with the problem to this post it is so helpful.
 * Thanks for updating me, I am going to go ahead and mark this as resolved now.
 * Please open a new thread if you need help with anything else.
 * Thanks!
