    Error message:

    “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/sitename/public_html/wp-includes/update.php on line 435”

    I’ve searched here and found about 10 pages of people getting this very same error. Some people say it happens when searching for themes, some say when upgrading a plug in, some say when upgrading WordPress itself. I started getting this error about a month ago (after I upgraded to WordPress 3.8 – I’m now on WordPress 3.9 and still getting the error). I have over a dozen WordPress sites and every single on of them is showing this error when I do basically anything on the site (searching, upgrading a plug in, adding a new plug in, adding a theme, upgrading the WordPress version) – everything ends up working (by that I mean if I’m trying to upgrade to a new version of a plug in, I get the error, but the plug in upgrades and installs fine – as does anything else). This happens on sites that I’ve had up and running fine for years and it happens on brand new sites that I’ve just installed a fresh WordPress installation on a brand new domain with no plug ins or even any content. I tried checking with my hosting company and their only idea was to upgrade my PHP from 5.2 to 5.3 (which I have not done yet because they cannot guarantee me that my sites will not be adversley affectd by this upgrade). Upgrading the PHP has not been a suggestion or solution to this problem on any of your WordPress threads.

    Does anyone have a solution for this yet??

    This is a server issue – sometimes caused by a failure to compile PHP with cUrl. Contact your hosts about it.

    I just spoke with them and they told me that cRUL is enabled on all of their servers.

    Their suggestion is for me to upgrade from PHP version 5.2 to 5.3. Does that sound like a good idea?
