    Hello,

    After using “Let’s Encrypt” WP-Forecast worked. But after I used a Search & Replace plugin (“http” to ” https”), to resolve most of the remaining mixed content, WP-Forecast stopped working. This is the error message, when I “check connection to Weatherprovider”. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. The error message still says:
    —–
    Checking for Weatherprovider Accuweather
    Checking default transport
    Test ends in error.
    Error-Message was http_request_failed A valid URL was not provided.
    Checking fsockopen transport
    Test ends in error.
    Error-Message was http_request_failed A valid URL was not provided.
    Checking exthttp transport
    Test ends in error.
    Error-Message was http_request_failed A valid URL was not provided.
    Checking streams transport
    Test ends in error.
    Error-Message was http_request_failed A valid URL was not provided.
    Checking curl transport
    Test ends in error.
    Error-Message was http_request_failed A valid URL was not provided.

    I’ve searched for many hours, but can’t figure out where I caused the problem …so I can fix it. Any advice would be very greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,
    ~April

    By doing a search and replace from http to https you changed the URL’s of the weather service like https://accuweather… to https://accuweather… too.

    Probably the API has no https.

    Search for BASE_ to find the correct places to change it back. Must be somewhere in funclib.php.
