????????????

Ah, you nailed it indeed. Being on a Litespeed server, the plugin has connected smoothly after:

apt install lsphp81-curl

My sincere thanks for the wonderfully shared & rapid assistance.

BTW, I reached a dead end when attempting to review the plugins documentation link. It leads to an SSL issue.

Link mentioned:

https://docs.paymentplugins.com/wc-stripe/config

Similarly, the WP.org link to a demo experience also fails (SSL issue).

Thank you for your assistance.

Mr. Clayton, thanks for the swift reply… and good to hear at least of the compatibility.

Yes, right after being redirected back to WP.

Yup, there are a number of these:

2023-08-16T01:29:16+00:00 CRITICAL Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function curl_version() in /usr/local/lsws/Wordpress/html/wp-content/plugins/woo-stripe-payment/vendor/stripe/stripe-php/lib/HttpClient/CurlClient.php:85

The whole log file looks to be a repeat of the stack trace from every attempt, so here’s just the most recent (should the entire trace prove useful):
