HTTP error during the API request.

    Hello again.

    I’m trying to search for themes, plug-ins and all the wonderful stuff that WP has to offer, the thing is that every time I try to browse through the themes I get

    “An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.”

    I looked up and change the 'timeout' => apply_filters( 'http_request_timeout', 5); to a 30 on the class-http.php file (I’m using the 3.2.1 version) and it still shows me the same error. I’ve been looking for an answer but nothing comes up.

    Help Please!

    Thanks! 🙂

    Have you tried asking your hosts for assistance? This could be caused by a server configuration issue.

    Hello esmi!

    I asked my hosts for assistance and they told me that there was no problem on the server. I’m extra stuck now. I tried to upload a theme manually and it won’t let me either, it shows the following:

    The uploaded file could not be moved to /usr/www/www3/www.mydomian.com.mx/wp-content/uploads.

    And I don’t know why it’s written with “www/www3/ plus another www.

    I’m going bananas over this 🙁

    I don’t know why it’s written with “www/www3/ plus another www

    This could purely be the way in which the host has configured your server. The final ‘www’ refers to your site url, yes? Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

    I changed the file permissions to 767, 775, 777, and still not able to upload images or any kind of files.

    I finally was able to upload manually (through ftp) some themes and plug-ins.

    I actually think it has got something to do with the server but I don’t know how to prove it with the technicians 🙁

    Did you send them copies of the error messages?

    Yup, I send them a screenshot with the

    “An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.”

    all they said was that they don’t provide support to wordpress, and that there was nothing they could do.

    Esmi:

    I deleted from my ftp the “uploads” file and create another one and that semeed to do the trick, the whole unexpected error with the API apparently I can’t manage to solve, I’ll have to upload my stuff manually.

    I really appreciate the help, you’re awesome! 😀
