 * Hi,
 * During running the wordpress 5 I’ve stumbled with an error on every load where
   the connection to wordpress.org required, for example, functions
    `translations_api(),
   wp_update_plugins(), wp_update_themes()`
 * I am getting the error
 * >  An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or

 * The error occurs on shared hosting, on local windows machine, on docker setup.
 * Tutorials about setup constants for the core update or filters for disabling 
   filters for updates gave me nothing.
 * Help.

 * I would recommend contacting your hosting provider for this problem.

 * [@hobn1354](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hobn1354/) Thanks,
    But as I 
   described in the post: I am using docker, I tried on xampp, and I have installed
   that on shared hosting – everywhere the same error. Where should I look for the
   error locally at least?

 * Are you using http or https?

 * [@hobn1354](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hobn1354/) thanks for question.
   Locally I am using non-http, but hosting is HTTPS let’snecrypted.
 * Side note: I have written `return;` at the start of every update_* function in
   the core to avoid such error.
