I’ve followed this guide and many others on enabling SSL for MySQL when connecting to a remote host. (https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/configure-wordpress-remote-database/)
However, altering the user to REQUIRE SSL does nothing to check if the certificate is valid. Instead, it’s recommended to use REQUIRE X509 for the database user.
When doing so, WordPress can no longer connect.
I did a remote test just using the MySQL command ‘mysql -u username -h remote -p’ and I’m able to connect fine so I know the certificates are good.
Any suggestions?
