 * Hey webxbar,
 * Are you still seeing this issue? Is the happening when you try to install a plugin?
   Would be helpful to have additional information like:
    Who is your hosting provider?
   What version of WordPress are you on etc? Dose it happen with all plugins you
   try to install (assuming that is when you are getting the error)
 * Hope we can get this resolved for you.

 * Hi AJ
 * Thanks for the reply.
 * Yes, I am still seeing the issue.
 * Yes, when I click on Add Plugin this happens.
 * Hosting Provider is Host Gator
 * WP version is 4.2.1.
 * Yes with all plugins. Sometimes it also gives an error for page loading in that
   only page.
 * Awaiting a solutions from your end.

 * I saw this a few times on a few sites after 4.2.
 * If the plugin update ‘says’ it failed:
 * 1. The last plugin update is not done yet (like JetPack).
    2. Just do this:
 * A) Hard key a page refresh.
    B) Try again. C) Each time it after A, B it does
   update.
 * Why?
 * Failed callbacks from a too busy server.
