nginx\r\n\r\n\r\n”}
I also check curl and this is what I get.
curl: (60) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name ‘[cmasfo.com](http://cmasfo.com)’
More details here: [curl - SSL CA Certificates](https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html)
curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.
What should I do in this situation?

Hey @CMASFO, welcome to meta 🙂
For this kind of issue please see my response here

> Hey Romain, there could be a few different reasons. The reason we recently added [logging infrastructure](https://meta.discourse.org/t/wp-discourse-logging/190745) to the plugin is to directly diagnose these kind of issues. We’ll be adding logging to the connection functionality soon, however it’s only currently active in the publication functionality. A connection issue in the publication logs are unlikely to tell us anything useful. Nevertheless, you did mention an attempt to publish, so please first check the “Logs” admin panel in the WP Discourse p…

If they have some more specific reason to think it’s an issue with the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin, and not say, an incorrect cURL version on the server (which on the face of it is more likely), they’re welcome to post here, or even pm me, and I’d be happy to look into it further with them.

If it works with PayPal it should work with other endpoints as well.
Let me know how you go with those.

I experienced this problem from 2 environments.
one was bitnami wordpress stack, and the another was aapanel.
so I just tried to install wordpress manually,
like installing server and database by hand,
and now it works!
just wonders what the problem was
thx for replying

It was most likely the version of `php-curl` on your server.
