 * I have been tackling this issue for 2 weeks now, since my WordPress 5.7 auto-
   update. From what I have found so far, WP 5.7 introduced a HTTPS Detection and
   Migration solution into the new build. In my case, I had Really Simple SSL plugin
   installed to handle my original switch to HTTPS. I had removed Really Simply 
   SSL 2 nights ago, and everything started working again. Today, we encounter Stripe
   Failed API error, which has been present intermittently during my 2 week outage.
 * This issue has been intermittent, works great for days, then pops back up.
 * Also, getting this notification when this issue happens.
 * Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.
   org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please 
   try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to
   WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /home/mydirectory/
   public_html/mydomain.com/wp-includes/update.php on line 614
 * WooCommerce status shows Force SSL is good…but Woo logs say the following:
 *     ```
       2021-04-28T00:17:09+00:00 DEBUG 
       ====Stripe Version: 5.1.0====
       ====Start Log====
       Stripe Payment Request live mode requires SSL.
       ====End Log====
       ```
