 * Getting the error below when I go to plugin page to install a Plugin.
 * 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.
 * It’s a new WordPress installation
 * Thanks

 * This typically means WordPress trying to connect to the update server in the 
   background, but couldn’t.
 * This could be due to a simple internet connection issue, or may be the server
   is temporarily offline, etc. This sort of connectivity issue usually resolves
   itself after a while.
 * If not, try contacting your internet/hosting provider.
 * Also, review this tutorial: [http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-secure-connection-error-in-wordpress/](http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-secure-connection-error-in-wordpress/)
