SSL and TLS Issues

WP to diaspora* makes sure the connection to your pod is secure!

Most diaspora* pods are secured using SSL/TLS, which makes your connection encrypted. For this connection to work, your server needs to know that those SSL/TLS certificates can be trusted.

Therefore, if your WordPress installation or server does not have an up to date CA certificate bundle, WP to diaspora* may not work for you.

Lucky for you though, we have you covered if this is the case for you!

1. Check the WordPress certificate bundle: The best option is to make sure that the WordPress internal certificate bundle is available and accessible. You should be able to find it here: "wp-includes/certificates/ca-bundle.crt".
2. Get in touch with your hosting provider: Get in touch with your hosting provider and ask them to update the bundle on the server for you. They should know what you're talking about.
3. Install the CA bundle yourself: If you maintain your own server, it's your job to keep the bundle up to date. You can find a short and simple way on how to do this here.
4. Quick "temporary" fix: As a temporary solution, you can download the up to date CA certificate bundle (Right-click → Save As...) and place the cacert.pem file at the top level of the WP to diaspora* plugin folder. This is a "last resort" option. NOTE: If you choose the temporary option, the copy procedure needs to be done every time the plugin is updated because all files get replaced!
