Details: error:14090086: SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed * Solution * This is because WordPress is using its own certificate bundle, overriding the global system certificate bundle. The problem is that the certificate bundle that WordPress has is old and needs to be updated. To do this, please download the latest one from [http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem](http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem) and save it as ca-bundle.crt * Upload this file to: wp-includes/certificates/ca-bundle.crt * I WILL DO SOMEMORE TESTING!!! * Plugin Contributor [Fulvio Notarstefano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nekojira/) * (@nekojira) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-error-18/#post-6424301) * Hi Tom, * it’s strange, normally you wouldn’t need any of this * I think it might have to do with the current server configuration? if you’re using simple http as it appears your website does, there are no SSL certificates involved, unless the server or your installation has something misconfigured I guess? * the Google Calendar Events plugin does a curl request to Google when fetching events so yes that’s where the error is triggered * Thread Starter [DrTomEagle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drtomeagle/) * (@drtomeagle) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-error-18/#post-6424324) * I am using the latest wordpress (2.2.8) which included wp-includes/certificates/ ca-bundle.crt When I downloaded the latest (?) global system certificate bundle from [http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem](http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem) and save it as ca-bundle.crt, the Google Calendar Event plugin started working. If you find out the ins-and-outs of why this was necessary, I would be interested in knowing. * I am building up a new web server (hardware and software) to take the place of my current server.
