CMS Made Simple Forums

Thanks in advance for any help. My version is 2.2.8. It happens in the admin panel and the front end. I'm getting these errors when I visit new pages on fresh browser (but I can refresh the page and they go away; still looks bad!):

It quite obviously means that the server cannot verify the certificate that is specified for your SSL connection.

I think this may be caused by:
a: server configuration (maybe the server cannot read the certificate, or can't do outgoing connections to verify the validity of the certificate)
or
b: using a self-signed certificate
- if this is the case, there may be a php configuration option you can change to disable verification of the certificate.

I have used purchased SSL certificates and free certificates from letsencrypt with no difficulties.

Thank you, Calguy. I worked with the web host to resolve the issue. It wasn't a self-signed certificate issue, I didn't have the proper intermediate certificate installed. Once again, not a CMSMS issue!
