    I’m trying to update a site to 4.5.1 (from 4.4.1) and get the following error 6 times:

    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 /htdocs/www/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 158

    I get a similar error if I try to update a plugin”
    An error occurred while updating All In One SEO Pack: Download failed. The SSL certificate for the host could not be verified.

    How do I correct this?

    This typically means that openssl on your server is out of date, unless of course the server is actually offline. You’ll need to ask your hosting provider upgrade openssl on the server to the latest release (currently 1.0.2e).

    My server is online and I don’t have an SSL certificate. Do I need one?
