    I installed a fresh, new WP on a fresh, new installation of XAMPP. Database is working fine, have my vhosts all set up and matched up, everything is displaying fine… but if I try to go to Add New for plugins or themes, I get the vague error message: “An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration.”

    I have used WP 4.0.1 on XAMPP (multiple older versions) before though without any such trouble. The only notable thing I can think of that I did any different from usual is that I changed the database prefix during setup. It doesn’t really make sense for a provided option to do something like this, though.

  • Changing your database prefix won’t cause that error.

    Is that the entire message, or is there additional information that references not being able to establish a secure connection?

    Many apologies. Thanks for filling me in.

    I’m finding WordPress very user unfriendly.

    Sorry for taking so long to respond.

    The complete stuff I get is…

    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.

    That appears once on Add Themes and twice on Add Plugins. On Add Plugins, this also appears under Popular Tags:

    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 C:\xampp\htdocs\sites\webcrittercreative\wp-admin\includes\plugin-install.php on line 77

    I haven’t touched anything there though.

    I re-installed WP with all the same settings, and it seems to be working now.
