Hey guys,
Anyone else experiencing this problem after upgrading to MacOS Sierra and using Xampp 5.6.X?
Have been using Xampp to test WordPress for years now, never had an issue, however now it seems that external calls to WordPress are now being blocked.
I am assuming this is a security “feature” that MacOS introduces, but I cannot seem to put my finger on how to change it.
The symptoms:
* Loading local website is close to instant.
* Once I log into the WordPress Admin panel (Dashboard), it takes between 10-20 seconds to load, with some instances of timing out with “Your connection has been reset” (on Firefox)
* If I add:
define('WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL', true);
To my wp-config.php, the backend loads instantly, however Adding Plugins and the dashboard news no longer works.
I’ve tried to update my .CA bundle from https://curl.haxx.se/ and insured that it’s pointing correctly in my php.ini but it hasn’t worked.
Anyone else experience this?
