# Unexpected HTTP Error

 * Hi
 * Just downloaded the latest pack of 3.3.1 and installed a new theme with sample
   data. The problem is that I cannot import the sample data because it shoots out
   the following error:
 * `An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.`
 * I have checked the forums and have found lots of people with the same problem,
   but not a single solution that works. I wonder how WordPress can be allowed to
   continue with a nagging problem of importing a sample data.

   that urgent, consider [hiring someone](http://jobs.wordpress.net/).]_

 * This error is roaming around WP for over a year. How come it is not being officialy
   addressed?
