Each time I try to update WordPress on my shared-hosting installation I receive the message: “Error en la actualización: Descarga fallida. cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate”. No new plugins or themes have been added or updated recently, and my hosting provider has already reviewed the server without finding the cause. I therefore need an expert who can jump in, trace the SSL chain issue, and leave the site fully able to retrieve and install core, plugin and theme updates over HTTPS. You’ll have cPanel and WordPress admin access, plus SSH if required. I expect: • The underlying cURL/CA-bundle problem fixed (whether through certificate store updates, [login to view URL] changes, or server configuration). • WordPress core brought to the latest stable version. • A quick test showing that at least one plugin and one theme update download correctly. • A short note of what you changed so I can keep future certificates in order. If you’ve handled similar SSL or cURL 60 errors on shared environments, this should be straightforward. Let me know your timeframe and any server details you might need in advance.

Hi, this looks like a typical cURL 60 / SSL chain issue on the server side rather than a WordPress problem. I’ve handled similar cases where the root cause was an outdated CA bundle or incorrect cURL/PHP configuration, especially on shared hosting environments. I can trace the SSL chain, fix the certificate validation issue, and make sure WordPress can securely fetch updates over HTTPS again. This should be a quick fix and I can also leave a short note explaining what was changed for future reference. I’m available to start right away.
