 * I love this plug-in so much, I may just deactivate it when I have to update and
   install new plugins. Then turn it on again.
 * I don’t want to though. It gives me the error code:
 * “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 /public_html/pcs/
   wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 165”
 * I’m running 4.8, any thoughts?

 * Hi [@scriblit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriblit/)
 * Thanks for contacting us and glad you like the plugin.
 * I’m not sure why you would be getting this error from our plugin as it doesn’t
   do anything to suppress the normal working of the server or the plugin installation/
   update process.
 * The warning seems to point to a server configuration issue.
 * Out of interest, what version of PHP are you running? Also, are you using SSL
   and are you running any caching plugins?
 * Another thing you might want to try is below from [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/120043/an-unexpected-error-occurred-something-may-be-wrong-with-wordpress-org-or-this](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/120043/an-unexpected-error-occurred-something-may-be-wrong-with-wordpress-org-or-this):
 * 1) Login to “Cpanel” of Your Hosting
    2) Goto “Health Checks and Monitoring” 
   3) Click “Port 80” 4) Check if its Blocked: a) YES >> Delete files which may 
   be listed there b) NO >> Contact your Hosting Support 5) if 4a >> Click unblock
   the port, It might take couple of min/hrs to get unblocked
 * Please let us know if that helps.
 * Regards,
 * Artem
