Quick fix for WordPress SSL Verify error

Posted on by

When your WordPress installation has problems with updating and retrieving files over SSL, because of outdated certificates, you can bypass this.
It`s actually a workaround, not a fix!

Just place the following code in your theme or plugin

// SSL fix
add_filter( 'https_ssl_verify', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'https_local_ssl_verify', '__return_false' );

Ubuntu Linux Kernel 4.3 installation guide

Posted on by

This short walkthrough describes how to install the Linux Kernel 4.3 on Ubuntu Linux.

This guide should work with the latest version of Ubuntu Linux and most Ubuntu-based distributions including Kubuntu and Mint. The included kernel files have been compiled using the generic Ubuntu configuration.

Installation Guide (GUI)

  1. Download the kernel headers package:

    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3-wily/linux-headers-4.3.0-040300_4.3.0-040300.201511020949_all.deb
  2. And the appropriate package for your system
  3. And the accompanying compiled kernel image:
  4. Install the files in the same order as downloaded above. So first install the headers (2 files) and finally the image (1 file).
  5. In the terminal run:

    sudo update-grub
  6. Reboot and select the kernel from the bootloader menu

I will post the latest version of the 4.3 branch and 4.4 release candidates in comments below.
