 * Trying to manage plugins and install a new one I get the following message
 * 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 /home/u544618065/
   public_html/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 77
 * This since the automatic updating tomfoolery got included. My server doesn’t 
   do ssl.

 * Try downloading the plugin. Then unzip and upload to the Plugins folder (wp-content/
   plugins/) using an SFTP / FTP client.

 * I have been using WordPress since version 1.8 (if not before)…
 * It seems to have righted itself – why and how, I have no idea.

 * Seems is some sort of IP blocking. I tried same files/config over localhost (
   dynamic ip ISP) and it’s working, so it’s not in the code, but the server.

 * Im sorry. My problem was DNS searching. No good config on resolv.conf. Seems 
   the file has been overwritten once restarted server.
 * chattr +1 and no more overwritting.
