You’ll need to ask your hosting provider upgrade openssl on the server to the latest release. * Thread Starter [mechview2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mechview2/) * (@mechview2) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-warning-8/#post-6894884) * Thanks for the response :)…. * What is the link between WP and WP.org? * I’m going to put up a WP site and see if I get the error again. I don’t see how a site gets this error if an SSL is not needed. Since I’m into an existing site, not sure “what” was dont to create this error. I know some of the sites need an SSL, and that is in process… just trying to understand ‘why’ and how the WP and WP.org are working together. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-warning-8/#post-6894887) * Even though your site doesn’t operate over SSL, WordPress.org does, which is why your server uses OpenSSL to communicate with it. * If OpenSSL on the server is out of date, you will see the error you quoted. * The current version of OpenSSL is 1.0.2e. * Thread Starter [mechview2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mechview2/) * (@mechview2) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-warning-8/#post-6894888) * Ahhh TY James…. I just found that out. upgraded a test site and got the error.

It’s one that won’t give a disclaimer or warning to go further. I installed it on the server with no issues. So this means it works :).. * However, i log into WP site and I get this error: * Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress. org or this server’s configuration.
