    I am trying to test the plugin on my localhost, but can’t even activate it. It says:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    Error: It seems that CURL is disabled on your server. Please contact your server administrator to install / enable CURL.

    CURL is enabled and is working fine with everything else, including all other plugins.

    Can you help?

    Thank you for reaching out!

    Some users are experiencing cURL errors with the USM Plus plugin, we are currently investigating the cause.

    Could you please try and see if it works fine with this plugin (also free) https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ultimate-social-media-icons ?

    We released USM Plus version 3.1.5. Please update the plugin from your WordPress dashboard and see if the cURL error is gone.

    Thank you. I have updated the plugin successfully, but the CURL error remains, and I am unable to activate the plugin.

    Is this https://www.screencast.com/t/9ktUvVFl8DX the error you saw after update?

    If so, that points to an error in downloading the plugin files from WordPress servers.

    Please try to delete the plugin and install it again, for us it worked.

    Thanks for the reply. No, it isn’t, installation is successful. After installation, I cannot activate it, it displays the message I wrote in my first post.
    I have tried deleting and reinstalling it, installation is again successful, activation fails with the error above.

    Are there other reasons you can think of on my side that blocks it? I can’t think of any, curl is certainly working, it is necessary for installation itself, updating etc.

    It is working now, sorry for the trouble. Solution: indeed, curl was not enabled on my localhost properly.

    Thank you.
