This function has been deprecated. The wp_update_https_detection_errors() function is no longer used and has been replaced by wp_get_https_detection_errors(). Previously the function was called by a regular Cron hook to update the https_detection_errors option, but this is no longer necessary as the errors are retrieved directly in Site Health and no longer used outside of Site Health instead.

This function’s access is marked private. This means it is not intended for use by plugin or theme developers, only in other core functions. It is listed here for completeness.

Runs a remote HTTPS request to detect whether HTTPS supported, and stores potential errors.

Description

This internal function is called by a regular Cron hook to ensure HTTPS support is detected and maintained.

	/**
	 * Short-circuits the process of detecting errors related to HTTPS support.
	 *
	 * Returning a `WP_Error` from the filter will effectively short-circuit the default logic of trying a remote
	 * request to the site over HTTPS, storing the errors array from the returned `WP_Error` instead.
	 *
	 * @since 5.7.0
	 * @deprecated 6.4.0 The `wp_update_https_detection_errors` filter is no longer used and has been replaced by `pre_wp_get_https_detection_errors`.
	 *
	 * @param null|WP_Error $pre Error object to short-circuit detection,
	 *                           or null to continue with the default behavior.
