The solution is simple: open the file app/code/Smartwave/Porto/Helper/Data.php and replace “http” with “https” on line 88. Then enter your purchase code again and try to activate Porto.

The code should now look like this:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.portotheme.com/envato/verify_purchase_new.php?item=1234567&version=m2&code=$code&domain=$domain&act=$act");
