HTTPS Tester – Fehlermeldung (Plugin Updates werden nicht angezeigt)
-
Hallo zusammen,
Wir stoßen hier auf ein sehr merkwürdiges Problem wo wir anstehen.
Und zwar werden uns keinerlei Plugin Updates mehr im WordPress Backend angezeigt. Im Gegensatz hierzu, wird jedoch das WP 4.7 Update sehr wohl ersichtlich.
Wir haben nun das Plugin HTTPS Tester installiert und erhalten folgende Fehlermeldungen:
Since WordPress 3.7, all communication to WordPress.org is attempted over HTTPS, this is to improve security and make it harder for someone to perform a MITM attack against a WordPress site. Unfortunately, there have been reports that some hosts configurations are not allowing it to work, this plugin is used to debug it and find out what's going on.

JSON is an open standard data format that is lightweight and human-readable, and looks like Objects do in JavaScript; hence the name. When you send content to or make a request to the API, the response will be returned in JSON. This enables developers to create, read and update WordPress content from client-side JavaScript or from external applications, even those written in languages beyond PHP.</p> <div class='callout callout-info'><p><span class="screen-reader-text">Note:</span> Looking for a list of the other APIs available within WordPress?

You could create a plugin to provide an entirely new admin experiences for WordPress, or create a brand new interactive front-end experience.</p> <p>You would not even have to write the applications in PHP: any programming language that can make HTTP requests and interpret JSON can interact with WordPress through the REST API, from Node.js to Java and beyond.</p> <p>The WordPress REST API can also serve as a strong replacement for the admin-ajax API in core. By using the REST API, you can more easily structure the way you want to get data into and out of WordPress. AJAX calls can be greatly simplified by using the REST API, enabling you to spend less time accessing the data you need and more time creating better user experiences.</p> <p>Our imagination is the only limit to what can be done with the WordPress REST API. The bottom line is, if you want an structured, extensible, and simple way to get data in and out of WordPress over HTTP, you probably want to use the REST API. For all of its simplicity the REST API can feel quite complex at first, and we will attempt to break it down into smaller components so that we can easily piece together the full puzzle.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h2 class="toc-heading" id="key-concepts" tabindex="-1">Key Concepts <a href="#key-concepts" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Key Concepts</span></a></h2> <p>To get started with using the WordPress REST API we will break down some of the key concepts and terms associated with the API:</p> <ul> <li>Routes/Endpoints</li> <li>Requests</li> <li>Responses</li> <li>Schema</li> <li>Controller Classes</li> </ul> <p>Each of these concepts play a crucial role in using and understanding the WordPress REST API. Let’s briefly break them down so that we can later explore each in greater depth.</p> <h3 class="toc-heading" id="routes-endpoints" tabindex="-1">Routes & Endpoints <a href="#routes-endpoints" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Routes & Endpoints</span></a></h3> <p>A route, in the context of the WordPress REST API, is a URI which can be mapped to different HTTP methods. The mapping of an individual HTTP method to a route is known as an “endpoint”. To clarify: If we make a <code>GET</code> request to <code>http://oursite.com/wp-json/</code>, we will get a JSON response showing us what routes are available, and within each route, what endpoints are available. <code>/wp-json/</code> is a route itself and when a <code>GET</code> request is made it matches to the endpoint that displays what is known as the index for the WordPress REST API. We will learn how to register our own routes and endpoints in the following sections.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="requests" tabindex="-1">Requests <a href="#requests" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Requests</span></a></h3> <p>One of the primary classes in the WordPress REST API infrastructure is <code>WP_REST_Request</code>. This class is used to store and retrieve information for the current request; requests can be submitted remotely via HTTP but may also be made internally from PHP with WordPress. <code>WP_REST_Request</code> objects are automatically generated for you whenever you make an HTTP request to a registered route. The data specified in the request will determine what response you get back out of the API. There are a lot of neat things you can do using the request class. The request section will go into greater detail.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="responses" tabindex="-1">Responses <a href="#responses" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Responses</span></a></h3> <p>Responses are the data you get back from the API. The <code>WP_REST_Response</code> provides a way to interact with the response data returned by endpoints. Responses can return the desired data, and they can also be used to return errors.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="schema" tabindex="-1">Schema <a href="#schema" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Schema</span></a></h3> <p>Each endpoint requires and provides slightly different data structures, and those structures are defined in the API Schema. The schema structures API data and provides a comprehensive list of all of the properties the API can return and input parameters it can accept. Schema also provides security benefits for the API, as it enables us to validate the requests being made to the API. The Schema section further explores this large topic.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="controller-classes" tabindex="-1">Controller Classes <a href="#controller-classes" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Controller Classes</span></a></h3> <p>As you can see, the WordPress REST API has a lot of moving parts that all need to work together.

JSON is an open standard data format that is lightweight and human-readable, and looks like Objects do in JavaScript; hence the name. When you send content to or make a request to the API, the response will be returned in JSON. This enables developers to create, read and update WordPress content from client-side JavaScript or from external applications, even those written in languages beyond PHP.</p> <div class='callout callout-info'><p><span class="screen-reader-text">Note:</span> Looking for a list of the other APIs available within WordPress? You can find the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_APIs">documentation here</a>.</p> </div> <h2 class="toc-heading" id="why-use-the-wordpress-rest-api" tabindex="-1">Why use the WordPress REST API <a href="#why-use-the-wordpress-rest-api" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Why use the WordPress REST API</span></a></h2> <p>The WordPress REST API makes it easier than ever to use WordPress in new and exciting ways, such as creating Single Page Applications on top of WordPress. You could create a plugin to provide an entirely new admin experiences for WordPress, or create a brand new interactive front-end experience.</p> <p>You would not even have to write the applications in PHP: any programming language that can make HTTP requests and interpret JSON can interact with WordPress through the REST API, from Node.js to Java and beyond.</p> <p>The WordPress REST API can also serve as a strong replacement for the admin-ajax API in core. By using the REST API, you can more easily structure the way you want to get data into and out of WordPress. AJAX calls can be greatly simplified by using the REST API, enabling you to spend less time accessing the data you need and more time creating better user experiences.</p> <p>Our imagination is the only limit to what can be done with the WordPress REST API. The bottom line is, if you want an structured, extensible, and simple way to get data in and out of WordPress over HTTP, you probably want to use the REST API. For all of its simplicity the REST API can feel quite complex at first, and we will attempt to break it down into smaller components so that we can easily piece together the full puzzle.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h2 class="toc-heading" id="key-concepts" tabindex="-1">Key Concepts <a href="#key-concepts" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Key Concepts</span></a></h2> <p>To get started with using the WordPress REST API we will break down some of the key concepts and terms associated with the API:</p> <ul> <li>Routes/Endpoints</li> <li>Requests</li> <li>Responses</li> <li>Schema</li> <li>Controller Classes</li> </ul> <p>Each of these concepts play a crucial role in using and understanding the WordPress REST API. Let’s briefly break them down so that we can later explore each in greater depth.</p> <h3 class="toc-heading" id="routes-endpoints" tabindex="-1">Routes & Endpoints <a href="#routes-endpoints" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Routes & Endpoints</span></a></h3> <p>A route, in the context of the WordPress REST API, is a URI which can be mapped to different HTTP methods. The mapping of an individual HTTP method to a route is known as an “endpoint”. To clarify: If we make a <code>GET</code> request to <code>http://oursite.com/wp-json/</code>, we will get a JSON response showing us what routes are available, and within each route, what endpoints are available. <code>/wp-json/</code> is a route itself and when a <code>GET</code> request is made it matches to the endpoint that displays what is known as the index for the WordPress REST API. We will learn how to register our own routes and endpoints in the following sections.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="requests" tabindex="-1">Requests <a href="#requests" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Requests</span></a></h3> <p>One of the primary classes in the WordPress REST API infrastructure is <code>WP_REST_Request</code>. This class is used to store and retrieve information for the current request; requests can be submitted remotely via HTTP but may also be made internally from PHP with WordPress. <code>WP_REST_Request</code> objects are automatically generated for you whenever you make an HTTP request to a registered route. The data specified in the request will determine what response you get back out of the API. There are a lot of neat things you can do using the request class. The request section will go into greater detail.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="responses" tabindex="-1">Responses <a href="#responses" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Responses</span></a></h3> <p>Responses are the data you get back from the API. The <code>WP_REST_Response</code> provides a way to interact with the response data returned by endpoints. Responses can return the desired data, and they can also be used to return errors.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="schema" tabindex="-1">Schema <a href="#schema" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Schema</span></a></h3> <p>Each endpoint requires and provides slightly different data structures, and those structures are defined in the API Schema. The schema structures API data and provides a comprehensive list of all of the properties the API can return and input parameters it can accept. Schema also provides security benefits for the API, as it enables us to validate the requests being made to the API. The Schema section further explores this large topic.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="controller-classes" tabindex="-1">Controller Classes <a href="#controller-classes" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Controller Classes</span></a></h3> <p>As you can see, the WordPress REST API has a lot of moving parts that all need to work together. Controller classes bring all of these elements together in a single place. With a controller class you can manage the registration of routes & endpoints, handle requests, utilize schema, and generate API responses.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h2

JSON is an open standard data format that is lightweight and human-readable, and looks like Objects do in JavaScript; hence the name. When you send content to or make a request to the API, the response will be returned in JSON. This enables developers to create, read and update WordPress content from client-side JavaScript or from external applications, even those written in languages beyond PHP.</p> <div class='callout callout-info'><p><span class="screen-reader-text">Note:</span> Looking for a list of the other APIs available within WordPress? You can find the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_APIs">documentation here</a>.</p> </div> <h2 class="toc-heading" id="why-use-the-wordpress-rest-api" tabindex="-1">Why use the WordPress REST API <a href="#why-use-the-wordpress-rest-api" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Why use the WordPress REST API</span></a></h2> <p>The WordPress REST API makes it easier than ever to use WordPress in new and exciting ways, such as creating Single Page Applications on top of WordPress. You could create a plugin to provide an entirely new admin experiences for WordPress, or create a brand new interactive front-end experience.</p> <p>You would not even have to write the applications in PHP: any programming language that can make HTTP requests and interpret JSON can interact with WordPress through the REST API, from Node.js to Java and beyond.</p> <p>The WordPress REST API can also serve as a strong replacement for the admin-ajax API in core. By using the REST API, you can more easily structure the way you want to get data into and out of WordPress. AJAX calls can be greatly simplified by using the REST API, enabling you to spend less time accessing the data you need and more time creating better user experiences.</p> <p>Our imagination is the only limit to what can be done with the WordPress REST API. The bottom line is, if you want an structured, extensible, and simple way to get data in and out of WordPress over HTTP, you probably want to use the REST API. For all of its simplicity the REST API can feel quite complex at first, and we will attempt to break it down into smaller components so that we can easily piece together the full puzzle.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h2 class="toc-heading" id="key-concepts" tabindex="-1">Key Concepts <a href="#key-concepts" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Key Concepts</span></a></h2> <p>To get started with using the WordPress REST API we will break down some of the key concepts and terms associated with the API:</p> <ul> <li>Routes/Endpoints</li> <li>Requests</li> <li>Responses</li> <li>Schema</li> <li>Controller Classes</li> </ul> <p>Each of these concepts play a crucial role in using and understanding the WordPress REST API. Let’s briefly break them down so that we can later explore each in greater depth.</p> <h3 class="toc-heading" id="routes-endpoints" tabindex="-1">Routes & Endpoints <a href="#routes-endpoints" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Routes & Endpoints</span></a></h3> <p>A route, in the context of the WordPress REST API, is a URI which can be mapped to different HTTP methods. The mapping of an individual HTTP method to a route is known as an “endpoint”. To clarify: If we make a <code>GET</code> request to <code>http://oursite.com/wp-json/</code>, we will get a JSON response showing us what routes are available, and within each route, what endpoints are available. <code>/wp-json/</code> is a route itself and when a <code>GET</code> request is made it matches to the endpoint that displays what is known as the index for the WordPress REST API. We will learn how to register our own routes and endpoints in the following sections.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="requests" tabindex="-1">Requests <a href="#requests" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Requests</span></a></h3> <p>One of the primary classes in the WordPress REST API infrastructure is <code>WP_REST_Request</code>. This class is used to store and retrieve information for the current request; requests can be submitted remotely via HTTP but may also be made internally from PHP with WordPress. <code>WP_REST_Request</code> objects are automatically generated for you whenever you make an HTTP request to a registered route. The data specified in the request will determine what response you get back out of the API. There are a lot of neat things you can do using the request class. The request section will go into greater detail.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="responses" tabindex="-1">Responses <a href="#responses" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Responses</span></a></h3> <p>Responses are the data you get back from the API. The <code>WP_REST_Response</code> provides a way to interact with the response data returned by endpoints. Responses can return the desired data, and they can also be used to return errors.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="schema" tabindex="-1">Schema <a href="#schema" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Schema</span></a></h3> <p>Each endpoint requires and provides slightly different data structures, and those structures are defined in the API Schema. The schema structures API data and provides a comprehensive list of all of the properties the API can return and input parameters it can accept. Schema also provides security benefits for the API, as it enables us to validate the requests being made to the API. The Schema section further explores this large topic.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="controller-classes" tabindex="-1">Controller Classes <a href="#controller-classes" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Controller Classes</span></a></h3> <p>As you can see, the WordPress REST API has a lot of moving parts that all need to work together. Controller classes bring all of these elements together in a single place. With a controller class you can manage the registration of routes & endpoints, handle requests, utilize schema, and generate API responses.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h2

JSON is an open standard data format that is lightweight and human-readable, and looks like Objects do in JavaScript; hence the name. When you send content to or make a request to the API, the response will be returned in JSON. This enables developers to create, read and update WordPress content from client-side JavaScript or from external applications, even those written in languages beyond PHP.</p> <div class='callout callout-info'><p><span class="screen-reader-text">Note:</span> Looking for a list of the other APIs available within WordPress? You can find the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_APIs">documentation here</a>.</p> </div> <h2 class="toc-heading" id="why-use-the-wordpress-rest-api" tabindex="-1">Why use the WordPress REST API <a href="#why-use-the-wordpress-rest-api" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Why use the WordPress REST API</span></a></h2> <p>The WordPress REST API makes it easier than ever to use WordPress in new and exciting ways, such as creating Single Page Applications on top of WordPress. You could create a plugin to provide an entirely new admin experiences for WordPress, or create a brand new interactive front-end experience.</p> <p>You would not even have to write the applications in PHP: any programming language that can make HTTP requests and interpret JSON can interact with WordPress through the REST API, from Node.js to Java and beyond.</p> <p>The WordPress REST API can also serve as a strong replacement for the admin-ajax API in core. By using the REST API, you can more easily structure the way you want to get data into and out of WordPress. AJAX calls can be greatly simplified by using the REST API, enabling you to spend less time accessing the data you need and more time creating better user experiences.</p> <p>Our imagination is the only limit to what can be done with the WordPress REST API. The bottom line is, if you want an structured, extensible, and simple way to get data in and out of WordPress over HTTP, you probably want to use the REST API. For all of its simplicity the REST API can feel quite complex at first, and we will attempt to break it down into smaller components so that we can easily piece together the full puzzle.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h2 class="toc-heading" id="key-concepts" tabindex="-1">Key Concepts <a href="#key-concepts" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Key Concepts</span></a></h2> <p>To get started with using the WordPress REST API we will break down some of the key concepts and terms associated with the API:</p> <ul> <li>Routes/Endpoints</li> <li>Requests</li> <li>Responses</li> <li>Schema</li> <li>Controller Classes</li> </ul> <p>Each of these concepts play a crucial role in using and understanding the WordPress REST API. Let’s briefly break them down so that we can later explore each in greater depth.</p> <h3 class="toc-heading" id="routes-endpoints" tabindex="-1">Routes & Endpoints <a href="#routes-endpoints" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Routes & Endpoints</span></a></h3> <p>A route, in the context of the WordPress REST API, is a URI which can be mapped to different HTTP methods. The mapping of an individual HTTP method to a route is known as an “endpoint”. To clarify: If we make a <code>GET</code> request to <code>http://oursite.com/wp-json/</code>, we will get a JSON response showing us what routes are available, and within each route, what endpoints are available. <code>/wp-json/</code> is a route itself and when a <code>GET</code> request is made it matches to the endpoint that displays what is known as the index for the WordPress REST API. We will learn how to register our own routes and endpoints in the following sections.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="requests" tabindex="-1">Requests <a href="#requests" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Requests</span></a></h3> <p>One of the primary classes in the WordPress REST API infrastructure is <code>WP_REST_Request</code>. This class is used to store and retrieve information for the current request; requests can be submitted remotely via HTTP but may also be made internally from PHP with WordPress. <code>WP_REST_Request</code> objects are automatically generated for you whenever you make an HTTP request to a registered route. The data specified in the request will determine what response you get back out of the API. There are a lot of neat things you can do using the request class. The request section will go into greater detail.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="responses" tabindex="-1">Responses <a href="#responses" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Responses</span></a></h3> <p>Responses are the data you get back from the API. The <code>WP_REST_Response</code> provides a way to interact with the response data returned by endpoints. Responses can return the desired data, and they can also be used to return errors.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="schema" tabindex="-1">Schema <a href="#schema" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Schema</span></a></h3> <p>Each endpoint requires and provides slightly different data structures, and those structures are defined in the API Schema. The schema structures API data and provides a comprehensive list of all of the properties the API can return and input parameters it can accept. Schema also provides security benefits for the API, as it enables us to validate the requests being made to the API. The Schema section further explores this large topic.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h3 class="toc-heading" id="controller-classes" tabindex="-1">Controller Classes <a href="#controller-classes" class="anchor"><span aria-hidden="true">#</span><span class="screen-reader-text">Controller Classes</span></a></h3> <p>As you can see, the WordPress REST API has a lot of moving parts that all need to work together. Controller classes bring all of these elements together in a single place. With a controller class you can manage the registration of routes & endpoints, handle requests, utilize schema, and generate API responses.</p> <p class="toc-jump"><a href="#top">Top ↑</a></p><h2
