    There is a problem with my child theme that wont let me resolve any external host. I shcanged to 2014 and it worked then. I searched and cant find a fix for this to add to my theme. I am sure it is the child theme not the hosting or plugins.

    and so on… is there something I am missing in the child theme maybe?

    This error is likely due to an issue with yours’/ hosts’ server. If your site is on a remote server, try contacting your hosting provider about this. Likely reasons you get it (but not limited to):
    – your site isn’t handling HTTPS calls to WordPress properly.
    – curlSSL not being up to date on your server.

    hostgator say they are fine. Also, when i switch themes it is working fine and the hosts connect fine.
    Can i turn off https for the site?

    In case something is broken with your theme, I would contact the theme’s developers as well and discuss this with them.

    Updated everything, still cant resolve host or update plugins with out changing themes, I put in a request to fix it with Qode, the theme creator.

    That’s an indication your theme is broken.

    I put in a request to fix it with Qode, the theme creator.

    that’s the right course. Hope you hear from the theme author.
