 * I can upload new themes but if I click on “Featured, “Newest” or “Recently Updated”
   I get an error saying:
 * _“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.”_
 * I’ve read in another post that adding this line to the host file solved it but
   it didn’t work:
 * 72.233.56.139 api.wordpress.org
 * Any thoughts?

 * This is a server issue at your end – sometimes caused by a failure to compile
   PHP with cUrl. Contact your hosts about it.
