Could not do a request to UsabilityDynamics.com while activating add on
When receiving an error: “There was an error making activation request. Could not do a request to UsabilityDynamics.com” when trying to activate a plug-in, please contact your host provider and ask them to let the requests be done for UsabilityDynamics site. They should support SSL V3
.
If server does not have support for SSL V3
, evident via this error:
:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
then the workaround is to override the API URL like so to your wp-config.php file:
Put this code somewhere in the beginning, before the code that includes wp-settings.php, which is usually at the bottom.
if( !defined( 'UD_API_URL' ) ) { define( 'UD_API_URL', 'http://api.usabilitydynamics.com/' );}
That should fix the issue by making the requests NOT use https.
