The Core Team builds WordPress. still includes some 1024- bit certificates to provide support for what appears to be a narrow range of buggy OpenSSL versions that have been unsupported since 2016. In [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64063](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64063) there is a proposal to remove them from the bundle. Does anyone know of a reason these certificates should be retained? As far as I understand this really only affects CentOS 7 which is EOL since 2024. If there’s no objection then I’ll remove them next week (ready for WordPress 7.0 in April). * [Login to Reply](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fhosting%2F2026%2F01%2F28%2Fshould-1024-bit-certificates-be-removed-from-the-root-certificate-bundle%2F%23respond&locale=en_US) [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/amykamala/) [Amy Kamala](https://profiles.wordpress.org/amykamala/) 06:36 _on_ 2026-01-28 Tags: [Agenda ( 112 )](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/tag/agenda/), [Hosting ( 58 )](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/tag/hosting/), [Hosting Community ( 100 )](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/tag/hosting-community/), [Weekly Hosting Chat ( 218 )](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/tag/weekly-hosting-chat/) # 󠀁[Hosting Team Meeting Agenda 2026-01-28](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/2026/01/28/hosting-team-meeting-agenda-2026-01-28/)󠁿 The next meeting will be in the [#hosting](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/tag/hosting/) SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).
