How to fix this error?
Error: 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 cannot download/update plugin/themes throws WordPress.
The root folder of the site permission has given “777”.

To resolve it I tried these:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Then add a new line

66.155.40.202 api.wordpress.org

That doesn’t work. Then I removed the previous one and added this one too:

echo "198.143.164.251 api.wordpress.org" >> /etc/hosts

I also tried to resolve it by adding safly-curl-patch.1.0.0 plugin.

But, still I’m facing the same error. Please someone help me to resolve this.

Server:

VPS with centOS 8, running with nginx.

The WordPress setup was done by following LEMP Stack.

You shall avoid using /etc/hosts for hardcoding wordpress.org IPs,
this is the source of your past, current and future problems.

IPs are not really static and are subject to change sometimes.

After removing all related definitions from /etc/hosts
and RESTARTING your web software (PHP) to re-read clean /etc/hosts file

if error will still persist, try to get more information on error using

Debugging in WordPress

Hi @sakibrocks,

This error simply means it tries to connect with the server but could not. In that case, the issue might be listed with your hosting provider or internet connectivity.

You can refer the link https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-secure-connection-error-in-wordpress/

one more thing you can do to update a fresh copy of WordPress.

Problem Solved
Thanks everyone for your response.

Solution:
SELinux reserve the files permission in CentOS. After disabling SELinux the issue was fixed.
