 * Trying to update the Yoast or UpdraftPlus plugins gets me the following error
   message:
 * ERROR 504 – GATEWAY TIMEOUT
 * Why am I seeing this page?
 * The server that your request has reached is acting as a gateway or proxy to fulfil
   the request made by your client.
 * Web Browser => Web Front-End => Web Back-End
 * This server (Web Front-End) received an invalid response from an upstream (Web
   Back-End) server it accessed to fulfil the request.
 * In most cases this will not mean that the upstream server is down, but rather
   that the upstream server and the gateway/proxy do not agree on the protocol for
   exchanging data.
 * This problem is most commonly caused when there is a problem with IP communications
   between the Web Front and Back-Ends. Before you attempt to resolve this problem
   you should clear your browser cache completely.
 * Our support staff will be happy to assist you in resolving this issue. Please
   contact our Live Support or reply to any Tickets you may have received from our
   technicians for further assistance.
 * I get this for 5-10 minutes until I can get back into my website, and even then,
   there are 504 errors and pictures not loading. I talked to my host and they passed
   the buck to the developer…I’m putting in a support ticket but was wondering if
   anyone here had any suggestions. Thanks!
