Can't add new plugin

And these are lines 80-85. I think it’s a network issue, but I’m not sure how to fix it.

$request = wp_remote_post( $url, $args );

		if ( $ssl && is_wp_error( $request ) ) {
			trigger_error( __( 'An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration.

			$request = wp_remote_post( $http_url, $args );
		}

Yeah I looked through a couple of those posts, but I still couldn’t figure it out. Most of the posts I’ve read say it has something to do with the network and server, but I’m developing locally.

Agreed with V_Renfro6. No solutions out there that have worked for me. I’m running 4.3.1 and receive this when trying to update plugins.

I’ve been trying to find a solution, but so far nothing’s worked. Spent an hour on the phone with HostGator (shared plan) and they had nothing to say other than ask the forums.

This is the only site (of 15 I manage) that’s running into this issue. I just switched it from Arvixe (terrible company, btw) but nothing is sticking out.

Any input would be appreciated. My errors are:
