 * Hi there, I have noticed after running a health check update that this error 
   appeared:
 * Testing custom-sidebars: The loopback request to your site failed, this may prevent
   WP_Cron from working, along with theme and plugin editors.
    Error encountered:(
   0) cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received.
 * Is there a fix for this?
 * thank you.

 * Hello [@fabiancho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabiancho/)
 * I can see that you’ve already reported this in another thread here:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-issue-2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-issue-2/)
   so let’s carry on in that thread instead. 🙂
 * Warm regards,
    Dimitris

 * Hi guys (Custom sidebars development team),
    This problem is going to cost you
   dearly. It breaks websites, email newsletter plugins cannot send their newsletters,
   Cloudflare’s railgun and rocket launcher cannot function and who knows what else
   malfunctions because of this. I have reactivated and deleted Custom Sidebars 
   because of this. What a shame because I really like this plugin. I really cannot
   understand your stand on this (you (developers) are busy with other things that
   is more important than this problem. My opinion is that you are going to loose
   a lot of customers. Anyway, thanks for listening to me. ASR Martins

 * Hello [@basiemartins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basiemartins/)
 * I can see that you’ve also posted in this other thread, so I’ll follow up in 
   there. Please keep in mind not posting in multiples threads about the same issue.
   🙂
 * Warm regards,
    Dimitris
