    Host gator says it is NOT their fault.
    Plugins section

    talk to your hosts, they seem to be blocking outgoing calls to wordpress

    yes they said, “I can sympathize with that. However like I stated earlier I really suggest having our team take a further look, and get back with you with an update. ”

    then let them do their thing, they can run server diagnostics and other cool stuff and then they’ll get back to you.

    Hey, I was curious if you ever got this resolved. I have the exact same issue, (although I see no actual problems resulting from this error) and want a bit more info to help out my host before contacting them. Even the simplest issues take awhile for them to resolve, so the more ammo I have, the better!

    Sorry, Host Gator was at fault, they increased “rlimit”? and it was fixed. They suck, switch to siteGround or even goDaddy has newer servers as a late that are better than before which is why I went ot hostgator.

    Thanks! I’ll let them know.

    @andrew
    I’m not sure I see the need for a new thread when I’ll be taking it up with my host, and I just wanted joey’s experience which he was so helpful to provide. If I have further issues that the host can’t fix, then I’ll start my own thread, but otherwise it seems excessive.

    If you want support you create a thread, it’s how forums work. You don’t poke around in other people’s threads asking for support.
