[Plugin: UpdraftPlus] Dropbox/Curl error: SSL certificate problem, verify that..

  • For many weeks I have had UpdraftPlus automatically backup my website https://www.faupelauto.ch to Dropbox, and this has worked fine. Since January 28 the backups are not saved to Dropbox anymore and I keep getting plentiful error messages of the sort
    “Dropbox/Curl error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed”

    How can this be resolved?

    Yesterday, I also clicked on “After you have saved your settings (by clicking ‘Save Changes’ below), then come back here once and click this link to complete authentication with Dropbox.”
    although a remark in parentheses said that I already seemed to be authenticated. I thought making sure that I am would do no harm.
    However it made things even worse, as now Updraftplus keeps telling me:
    “UpdraftPlus notice: Click here to authenticate your Dropbox account (you will not be able to back up to Dropbox without it).”
    When I do click on that, the same message keeps coming over and over again.

    So in addition to the above mentioned error message I now also get this error message from failed backup attempts:
    “You do not appear to be authenticated with Dropbox”

    I have also been getting a third error message:
    “Warning: Your website is visited infrequently and UpdraftPlus is not getting the resources it hoped for; please read this page: https://updraftplus.com/faqs/why-am-i-getting-warnings-about-my-site-not-having-enough-visitors/”

    So how can things get back to normal?

    Thanks very much for your kind support!

    Dear David Anderson,

    Would you have any advice for my problem?

    Thanks very much for your help!
    Kind regards

    I am in a similar quandry. I have this repeated message:
    ? Dropbox/Curl error: error:0D0890A1:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_verify:unknown message digest algorithm

    and I am no longer authenticated with dropbox.

    Please help! Where can I go to get this resolved? UpdraftPlus said it was a dropbox problem. Dropbox said to contact WordPress. My service provider could not help.

    Dropbox/Curl error: error:0D0890A1:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_verify:unknown message digest algorithm

    Thank you for helping.
