Hello, After configuring correctly the plugin to connect to my discourse installation, I get the dreaded “You are not connected to a Discourse forum. Please check your settings for ‘Discourse URL’, ‘API Key’, and ‘Publishing username’ Also, make sure that your Discourse forum is online.” error. Using the Query monitor plugin, I get an insight of what’s not working (API key cleared myself when pasted here); GET https://foro.denki.es/users/system.json ?api_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&api_username=system Response → cURL error 35: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure Investigating around it seems this might be a non updated curl issue, but it’s quite strange because I’ve got the latest version installed. What else could I do to solve this?

I’m not sure what your complete curl command looks like, but try this: curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://foro.denki.es/users/system.json Since this isn’t a protected endpoint you don’t need the api_key and api_username, but they should still work.

Hi Blake, thanks for your answer. I’d love to try that, but unfortunately I don’t have ssh access to the host of the wordpress installation (in https://denki.es - trying to connect to a working discourse DO installation in https://foro.denki.es). Any other idea… ?

BTW, my cURL version is 7.21.0 (using PHP version php to find out that).

I see latest version of cURL is 7.53, maybe this could be the issue… ?

[תמונה] Denki: I’d love to try that, but unfortunately I don’t have ssh access Just running that command from your local computer will work. If you are on windows you can install https://git-for-windows.github.io/ I think it has curl. I don’t know if the version of curl matters or not.

Sorry I didn’t catch on that the error came from the wp-discourse plugin I just saw the curl error and thought you were running curl directly from the command line.

No problem, should have explained myself better. Not having ssh access to my wordpress host makes everything more complicated. The only thing I could come up with for this issue is this thread at stackexchange; http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/192944/how-to-fix-curl-sslv3-alert-handshake-failure It might not be related, but people here could solve the problem updating cURL, in my case I thought I had the last version but I was wrong. Besides this, I don’t have idea on what could be failing.
