wp_get_https_detection_errors() │ WP 6.4.0

Runs a remote HTTPS request to detect whether HTTPS supported, and stores potential errors.

This function checks for HTTPS support by making an HTTP request. As this process can be resource-intensive, it should be used cautiously, especially in performance-sensitive environments. It is called when HTTPS support needs to be validated.

Returns

Array. An array containing potential detection errors related to HTTPS, or an empty array if no errors are found.

Usage

wp_get_https_detection_errors();

	 * Short-circuits the process of detecting errors related to HTTPS support.
	 *
	 * Returning a `WP_Error` from the filter will effectively short-circuit the default logic of trying a remote
	 * request to the site over HTTPS, storing the errors array from the returned `WP_Error` instead.
	 *
	 * @since 6.4.0
	 *
	 * @param null|WP_Error $pre Error object to short-circuit detection,
	 *                           or null to continue with the default behavior.
