 * Hi,
    I am running wordpress on my website monkshouts.org Till now everything 
   was working fine but all of sudden this error is coming:
 * >  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/monksj6h/
   > public_html/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 77
 * I am trying to search new plugins but this same error is coming every time. I
   saw many other threads for this, but couldn’t resolve the issue.
    Anyone else
   facing the same issue. I have one more query as I am unsure whether I should 
   update my wordpress installation or not because I don’t know what changes will
   be made in my theme as I have given a lot of time in site customization? For 
   example, will footer copyright or anything will have to be updated again. Kindly
   help on this issue.

 * This is a server issue – sometimes caused by a failure to compile PHP with cUrl.
   Contact your hosts about it.
