Unable to find the wrapper "https" – did you forget to enable it …

Hi We are getting this error when trying to redirect an event page to an https address.
file_exists(): Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?
Do you have any idea what is going on? This only happens when using the redirect on event posts. The rest of pages and post redirect work fine.
Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can try to help here.

I have not run into this before, but I looked up the error message and found this article about it:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5444249/unable-to-find-the-wrapper-https-did-you-forget-to-enable-it-when-you-config

I understand it is only happening on Event Pages, but it seems to be caused by the server setup.

Also, does it have a line it is pointing to in the coding that is causing the issue? Maybe we can suggest a change.

Let me know.

Thanks

Hi Brian and thanks for replying. The line mentioned in the error is in C:\Apache24\htdocs\wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\lib\tribe-template-factory.class.php on line 754
The server is managed my the client itself and it has been challenging I most say :). Any suggestions on solving this will be helpful.
Thanks

It appears the server setup does have openssl setup and that causes the issue with the file_exists function on that line.

You could try removing file_exists on that line.

Or you could try replacing it with a cURL fucntion:

You said it is a challenge with your client on the server setup, but adding openssl should fix it as well and do it without modifying the plugin.

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
