    Hi, since the update to WordPress 4.1, I receive the following error on all my WordPress installations on my Server:

    PHP Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /MYPATH/wp-includes/update.php on line 457

    I followed the Error around and found many times to be a problem with server configuration and to contact support, well I am the support 😛

    Does anybody know, what configuration exactly is giving WordPress problems? Everything worked fine before the update, and it happens on a fresh WordPress install.

    The error shows up all the time, while in the backend or the frontend and I am loged in.

    The website is: http://aegee-maribor.si

    PS: I am running this server for 5 years and never needed proxy for connection, so it should not be a proxy problem.

    The last person that had this problem said it was solved by correcting a DNS resolve issue.

    Hmm, what exactly is a DNS resolve issue?

    I can freely ping any domain name (like wordpress.org) and NSLOOKUP returns no errors:

    Name:   wordpress.org
Address: 66.155.40.250
Name:   wordpress.org
Address: 66.155.40.249

    ALSO:

    I made a few fresh installs of different WordPress versions and figured out, that:
    Version 3.7 or earlier: gives no errors, everything works fine
    Version 3.9 or later: Returns the same error, but everything still works fine

    Its just the anoying warning and longer page load.

    Note:
    I do have some troubles with the server, as I am unable to send email from it, but the problem is with external server, that is blocking me but is needed to go around firewall.
    Does wordpress use any special ports, other than 80?

    I suggest you Google, wordpress could not establish a secure connection to wordpress.org update.php and/or wordpress could not establish a secure connection to wordpress.org

    You will see many entries and the different ways they were solved.
