[Plugin: Google Importer] Something went wrong using wp_remote_get()

I just submitted version 1.0.2 which hopefully will give a little more detailed error message, but the problem you’re having is with the way your server makes remote requests. What host are you using? They may not have external requests enabled.

I am running wordpress on a server under my own administration running solaris 10. The new version gives better error messages and it seems to be that my server dont like googles SSL sertificate for some reason this is the detailed error message i get:

“SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed”

I think I have a fix for you to try, let me know if it works.

Open the plugin in the editor and find the line

$response = wp_remote_get( $request );

and change it to

$response = wp_remote_get( $request, array( 'sslverify' => false ) );

Now it works. Thanks for the help!

Glad I could help. Version 1.0.3 should appear soon which includes this fix, I hope you’ll rate and mark that the new version works for you!
