 * This function is available in PHP as of php 5:
    [https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dns-get-record.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dns-get-record.php)
 * What PHP version are you using?

 * “Please check the disable_functions setting in your php.ini file. This behavior
   may be present if dns_get_record has been disabled.”

 * [@agenseo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agenseo/) you don’t understand
   the problem this user describes, and it looks like you’re just posting for a 
   link.
 * The user wants to use the built in SSl generation, but the server has blocked
   a php function that is used for this. Your answer does not address this at all.
 * Please do not spam this forum with links.

 * Hi [@umarzaib](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umarzaib/),
 * did you check if your site uses PHP 5+ and if the dns_get_records function might
   have been disabled in the disable_functions section in php.ini file?
