Please try again…. any ideas…also i purchased the plugin rev.slider product license and will not let me activate.I had upgrade to the 4.6 wordpress and believe this had to have caused the problem * Moderator [Marius L.

I run a couple of websites that use Woocommerce. These sites have run for about a year without issues. Woocommerce has a nice System Status checker that shows the status of everything. After the updates, there were two red x’s by wp_remote_post() and wp_remote_get(), saying that both of these WordPress functions were failing. It reported that cURL and OpenSSL are working properly, however. * Upon further investigation, the function “curl_exec” was in the php.ini list of functions that are disabled–how it got there, I don’t know except maybe it was added during the PHP update. When I removed this function from the disabled functions list in php.ini, and restarted the php5-fpm service, the errors went away and I was able to add plugins and resume the function of my website. * The specific error that I received when trying to “Add New” plugins was: “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 no longer receive this error. * [Juleskal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juleskal/) * (@juleskal) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-46-plugin-connect-error/#post-7673980) * When I try to Update to WP 4.6 I get a blank viewing panel! I backed up site, and have been trying to update since the release…No joy. Any help? * Moderator [Marius L. J.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clorith/) * (@clorith) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-46-plugin-connect-error/#post-7673983) * Hi there [@juleskal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juleskal/), this issue isn’t related to the topic at hand, and I’d encourage you to start your own topic for your problem as it’s hard to keep track of multiple problems in one location.
