# MLS Grid SSL Verification Skip

**Date**: 2026-01-06
**Type**: Server Configuration (wp-config.php)

Note: This is not a database change, but a server-level configuration change. Documented here for production sync purposes.

## Issue

MLS Grid's media CDN (`media.mlsgrid.com`) has an expired SSL certificate, causing all image fetches to fail with SSL handshake errors. This resulted in 404 errors for property images on the site.

## Solution

Enable the `MLS_SKIP_SSL_VERIFY` option that was added in commit `0fd8b71`.

## Change Required

Add to `wp-config.php` (after MLS Grid API settings):

```php
// Skip SSL verification for MLS Grid media (their cert is expired)
define( 'MLS_SKIP_SSL_VERIFY', true );
```

## Security Note

This disables SSL certificate verification only for MLS Grid media downloads. This is acceptable because:
1. The data being fetched is public property images (not sensitive)
2. The alternative is completely broken image functionality
3. This should be reverted once MLS Grid renews their certificate

## Verification

After applying, test an image URL:
```bash
curl -I "https://[site]/mls-image/[listing_key]/1/thumb/?sig=[signature]"
```

Should return `HTTP 200` with `content-type: image/webp`.
