I have wordpress 4.9.7 installed on my computer, Windows 10, on localhost., Apache 2.4x, PHP Version 7.1.20, cURL is enabled. I still get this error “Download failed.: No working transports found” when I try to update to the latest version of WordPress from the control panel page. I run Core Control plugin and this is what I get:
Transport Status Actions
cURL Not Available
PHP Streams Available Disable Transport | Test Transport
PHP fsockopen() Available Disable Transport | Test Transport
Yet cURL IS enabled and shows up when I run phpinfo test. And when I click Test Transport both PHP Streams and PHP fsockopen() show this info:
Successfully retrieved & verified document from http://tools.dd32.id.au/wordpress/core-control.php
So those two are working and available to WordPress. Yet it won’t use them.
I checked the version of cURL DLL and it is 7.1.20.0 I checked this page https://curl.haxx.se/docs/releases.html and found that this is a rather old version of cURL. Actually I’m surprised that it was included with version 7.1.20 of PHP. I have searched all day for a newer version of cURL DLL and can not find one. All I can find are ‘packages’ that I have downloaded and unzipped to only find that none of these ‘packages’ contain a cURL DLL file that I can replace the older version that I have with.
Is there any way I can force WordPress use one of the other two transport methods that are available as shown by the Core Control plugin? Or a specific link to download a newer version of cURL that will work? I don’t like asking for a specific link but I’m about to pull my hair out looking for one as I have searched for one for many hours last night and today, with nothing but frustrating results. I have tried everything I can think of to no avail.
Thank you,
Joe
