Fix cURL errors in Local by Flywheel

WordPress MU Plugin to fix broken requests to REST API and cron jobs in Local by Flywheel.

Background

When using SSL in a WordPress development environment provided by Local by Flywheel (previously Pressmatic), requests to http endpoints from within WordPress fail with cURL Error 7 because of how the site is proxied. This plugin fixes this by forcing http on secured sites.

See https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/wp-cron-not-working-on-secured-sites/147/2 for discussion and original code for the cron_request filter.

Installation

  1. Clone the repo locally and copy or symlink the file into your site's wp-content\mu-plugins directory.
  2. You can also pull the file in directly with curl or wget, or just copy and paste into your own plugin or theme file.

wget

cd wp-content/mu-plugins
wget https://git.io/vH6Nn

cURL

cd wp-content/mu-plugins
curl -o fix-local-flywheel-https.php -L -C - https://git.io/vH6Nn

Credits

Thanks to Local user Xaver for the initial cron_request filter code.
