Ever wondered how to tweak SSL verification for local HTTP requests in WordPress? Well, the https_local_ssl_verify filter is here to help. Now, don’t worry if this sounds a bit technical; it’s all about making sure your site communicates securely when making local requests. As an Indian developer, I often find myself diving into such hooks to customize and optimize WordPress sites. Let’s explore how we can use this filter with some live examples.
Example 1: Modify SSL Verification
This example demonstrates how to modify the default behavior of SSL verification for local requests. By adjusting the $ssl_verify
parameter, you can control whether the SSL should be verified.
function weplugins_modify_https_local_ssl_verify_defaults($ssl_verify, $url) { // Customize SSL verification logic here return $ssl_verify; } add_filter("https_local_ssl_verify", "weplugins_modify_https_local_ssl_verify_defaults", 10, 2);
Example 2: Remove the SSL Verification Hook
If you need to remove the SSL verification filter for any reason, you can use the remove_filter
function as shown in this example.
remove_filter("https_local_ssl_verify", "weplugins_modify_https_local_ssl_verify_defaults", 10, 2);
Example 3: Conditional SSL Verification
Want to verify SSL based on specific URLs? You can conditionally modify $ssl_verify
based on the $url
parameter in this example.
function weplugins_conditional_ssl_verify($ssl_verify, $url) { if (strpos($url, 'example.com') !== false) { $ssl_verify = false; } return $ssl_verify; } add_filter("https_local_ssl_verify", "weplugins_conditional_ssl_verify", 10, 2);
