The apply_filters()
function lets plugins and themes override the value. So yes, you could manually set sslverify
to false
. The code snippet you included will set it to false in the absence of any filter.
Let’s say I have a plugin that wants to force it to true. I would add this:
add_filter( 'https_local_ssl_verify', '__return_true' );
The __return_true()
function is a special function in WordPress that automatically returns true
. So if I add this code to a plugin or my theme’s funtions.php
file, it will force your code above to set 'sslverify' => true
.
It all depends on your local setup and what you’re trying to do with the site. The use of apply_filters()
merely makes things as flexible as possible.
