There are no HTTP transports available which can complete the requested request.

There must be a problem with your server setup. You need at least one HTTP transport that supports SSL, but you should definitely have there. Where are you hosted?

Hi.

I am trying to install the “Latest Tweets” from this address:

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/latest-tweets-widget/

In the wordpress admin I have entered the required data provided by the dev.twitter.com site.

On “Save Settings” the wordpress admin throws this error:

0: Error -1, There are no HTTP transports available which can complete the requested request.

I’m using WAMP on windows 7 32b.

Thank you in advance for your help.

WordPress will try to use several transports to make the request. First it will try curl, then streams, then fsock.

If your server is set up with curl and your version of curl supports SSL (required for using the Twitter API), then it will use that.

Next it will try to use streams (fopen). If fopen is set up and working on your server, it is set to applow opening from a URL (allow_url_fopen), and openssl is set up and functional, then it will send the request with streams.

Lastly, if your server has fsockopen set up and usable, and openssl is also set up and functional, then it will use fsockopen to make the request.

If none of those work, then it will be unable to send any requests to Twitter. This is all built into the WordPress HTTP API. If your server can’t make the Twitter requests, it will be unable to make many other requests as well. You need to get your host to set up a transport method that WordPress can use.

Hello Geniuses, i’m using WordPress on localhost with xampp having PHP 5.3.8 and its echoing the same error. Can someone guide me on how to fix it? Thnx in advance…

You need to enable php_curl:
