Dear Henry, the “cURL error 7” mentioned in the log means “Failed to connect to host.”, which indicates for some reason the plugin in your WordPress installation does not reach out to “ https://bible2.net/service/TheWord/twd11?format=atom” ; to fetch the required information. I see this is the same effect reported in your related support query about Font Awesome few days ago ( https://wordpress.org/support/topic/activation-failed-17/ ). The author of that plugin made a good explanation, trying curl directly on your server to access the other host. Unfortunately, I have nothing to add to these points. Accessing information from an outside host is crucial for these plugins. The Word Widget uses multiple PHP methods listed in the log – all of them fail, so obviously the reason is more fundamental. Hope you get a clue on this with your provider.
