When updating my site I encountered the following errors:

I have tried reinstalling automatically and manually and I still get that error when upgrading or reinstalling – what is the deal – is it something I should be worried about?

Try:
– switching to the default theme automatically by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and the wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

– running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

Thanks for the reply. I did all of those things as you suggested, and am still receiving this error when I try to re-install 3.9.1:

Did you perhaps miss the part where I suggested:

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and the wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

– running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

Thanks – but I did do those steps. In fact, I went through all of the steps twice

Then why did you try to use the 1-click update?

because I was still gettting the above errors when updating plugins, etc., and you should be able to reinstall at any time without error, correct? I’ve been using WordPress for MANY years, and have never had this issue.

Have you contacted your hosts about it?

it isn’t a hosting issue – it is a wordpress issue. I downgraded to 3.8.3 and all issues have disappeared. Looking on the forums there seem tobe way too many issues with 3.9.1, so I will wait to update

Just checking to see if you have updated yet and resolved this issue?

We just setup 3.9.2. We were receiving same errors when clicking Plugins – Installed Plugins and Appearance – Themes. Error codes 435, 287, 119 and 77 were in the wp-content/debug.log. To fix this (I first commented out $url = $http_url = ‘http://api.wordpress.org/themes/update-check.1.1’; routine. I commented block down to after – wp_remote_retrieve_code( $raw_response ) )
return false;

I reran and got a different error. Then I took out my comment marks saved Update.php and I no longer got the error. I tried the same thing for the “/plugins/update-check.1.1” block of code and that fixed it.

My guess is the Update.php syntax is correct but file is corrupt in certain areas. By backspacing and resaving near the block of code throwing error this takes out whatever the corruption was out. We are running RHLinux with Apache.

This is what happens when shared hosting providers (apparently quite commonly) don’t allow secure connections to WordPress.org.

pdxDaniela, please start your own thread rather than jumping into a 4-month-old unrelated thread: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform

Since it was still open, figured it’d be ok
but sure, will start a new thread.
