“Failed to connect” error when verifying MP3 file

    I had to rebuild my WordPress podcast site due to an external attack.

    Everything seems to be working correctly at this point, except when I attempt to verify a MP3 I have uploaded to the WordPress media library.

    When I click the “Verify” button, I get the following error:

    Failed to connect to mypodcastsite.com port 443 after 3004 ms: Couldn’t connect to server
    Test: https://www.mypodcastsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/podcastepisodes.mp3

    However, clicking on the test link opens the MP3 file without issue.

    Publishing the page returns the same error at the top of the page.

    I have disabled all unneeded plugins, but the issue persists.

    The feed will validate and seems to work otherwise, but that validation error is going to concern some of my less tech-savvy users who are posting episodes.

    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Reply with the URL of a media file giving you the error message so we can do some testing.

    This has been resolved. It was an issue with the SSL certificate.
