Is my cURL up-to-date?

If your subscription activates successfully, an outdated cURL version is not an immediate cause for concern but should be updated as soon as possible.

Running an outdated cURL version may cause subscription activation errors. cURL is used to verify the subscription when checking for updates and displaying tutorial videos. The remainder of the plugin is accessible regardless of subscription activation status.

If you’re not hosting your own website, you probably won’t be able to update cURL yourself, but you can check what version is running.

How to check the cURL version on your server

Log in to your WordPress website.
When you’re logged in, you will be in your ‘Dashboard’.
Click on ‘Plugins’.
On the left-hand side, you will see a menu. In that menu, click on ‘Plugins’.
Click on ‘Add New’.
The ‘Plugins’ settings will expand providing you with additional options. Click on ‘Add New’.
Search for ‘Health Check’.
Type ‘Health Check’ in the search bar, as shown below.
Click the ‘Install Now’ button.
This will give you a page of search results. The Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin should be visible now. Click the ‘Install Now’ button to start installing the plugin, as shown below:
Click the ‘Activate’ button.
Click the ‘Activate’ button that appeared where the ‘Install Now’ button was previously located, as shown below:
Click on the ‘Tools’ menu item in the admin menu.
The menu will expand.

The options in this tab will be revealed.
