Hi. Getting this WP error. Talked to WordPress and they pointed out that it's an issue on the server side. Any thoughts? Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server"s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /home/domain/public_html/cn1950s/wp-admin/includes/translation-install.php on line 59 Thanks in advance.

  Did they provide any specific details? What does line 59 show of the file? Have you tried temporarily disabling your firewall? Thanks,

  No specifics. All I can figure out is that the code I think points to showing up this error if it finds something wrong with another code. Posting the line codes to better explain it (I hope). $request = wp_remote_post( $url, $options ); if ( $ssl && is_wp_error( $request ) ) { trigger_error( __( 'An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the ">support forums.' ) . ' ' . __( '(WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.)' ), headers_sent() || WP_DEBUG ? E_USER_WARNING : E_USER_NOTICE ); $request = wp_remote_post( $http_url, $options ); I don't if I got this right, but is this failing because there's a missing file? Don't really have any knowledge in WordPress.

  HI, It is difficult to help without much information or access to the server. Have you tried temporarily disabling your firewall? Also have you ensured curlssl is enabled in EasyApache? Thanks,

  Did you had issues while trying to install/update plugins or is it related to this function only ? If no 'over the net' installs/updates can be done the problem is (as @madmanmachines said) related to missing modules or firewall config.

  Additional info is that The Akismet spam filtering service is not communicating with the server. So I'm guessing @madmanmachines is right about missing modules or firewall config. Question now is, is this a fix that needs root access or is there such firewall setting on WHM that can be configured?

  Hi, If you have access to EasyApache in WHM, then you can rebuild and ensure curlssl is enabled. Or you can look for a curlssl PHP test script for this purpose. For the firewall, you may check at WHM > Configserver Security & Firewall. Thanks,

  Hi, I've tried searching for that option on WHM, but it seems that one is missing.

  Sounds like you need to contact your host

  Looks like when the CPanel servers go updated, everything went bonkers :(

  Hello, Do you have root access to the server, or do you have a reseller account? Thank you.
