Installation failed: Download failed. cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

[Deleted user]

Hi There,

I have this strange problem.
I am getting this error while installing a new plugin, while downloading and installing a new theme and while updating the WordPress( i am getting notification to update saying: "You are using a development version of WordPress. You can update to the latest nightly build automatically". Though the version is 4.9.6)

Error is: Installation failed: Download failed. cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

To fix the error few steps that i tried, but did not work:

1. Downloaded the file cacert.pem and kept it in C:\MAMP\bin\php\php7.2.1\extras\ssl\cacert.pem
2. In php.ini file, added code curl.cainfo = "C:\MAMP\bin\php\php7.2.1\extras\ssl\cacert.pem".

PFA screenshots for reference.

Please help!

Thank you,
Biswajit Kar

This can’t possibly have anything to do with this repo.

Opa, não sei se encontrou uma solução para o seu problema.

Caso não tenha.
Basta adicionar na ultima linha o bloco de comando abaixo em seu wp-config.php

/**

• Don't verify SSL certificates
  */
  add_action( 'http_api_curl', function( $handle ) {
  curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false );
  curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false );
  });
