 * My issue is similar to chiroot’s, but it occurs in a different file. Plus, I 
   cannot automatically install plugins.
 * Since I upgraded to 2.7, I get this message when trying to automatically “Upgrade
   Plugins”:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_remote_get() in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/
   media/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 444
 * Line 444 has this…
    `$response = wp_remote_get($url, array('timeout' => 30));`————–
 * Since I upgraded to 2.7, I get this message when trying to automatically “Install
   Plugins”:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_remote_post() in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/
   media/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 41
 * Line 41 has this…
    `$request = wp_remote_post('http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/
   info/1.0/', array( 'body' => array('action' => $action, 'request' => serialize(
   $args))) );`
 * Could anyone offer any suggestions?
