An unexpected error occurred. (Installation)

  • I have been using WP for a month now… and it’s just wonderful! Did a few installations… all good… but today…
    I got this message on a brand new installation:

    An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with www.ads-software.com or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.

    OK, I read a few threads… and I activated the DBug (now true, instead false).
    Then I got this message:

    Notice: Undefined variable: paged in /home2/braaasil/public_html/homagazine/wp-admin/theme-install.php on line 182

    Well, I opened the same file in the other installation and the file is quite different! Maybe the new installation 3.9 is different.. but it’s twice as big.

    Anyway, here is line 182:

    if ( $tab ) {
	do_action( "install_themes_{$tab}", $paged );

    Please help :/
    Thank you in advance.
    g.
    PS. I uninstalled it once and installed it again.. just in case there was an error in the first installation. Same error.

    UPDATE

    I can download any theme from inside WP. But the problem is when I press Add New

    I guess this is not a real fix, but it works ?? (For those with the same problem).

    Appearance > theme > Add new – tab (add new) on the top is not working

    So go to the same page Appearance > theme but don’t press that tab.

    Look at the big pictures with the pre-installed themes. The last one will be the icon to add a new theme. This route works…

    This is a curious problem Gloak because the tab on the theme page links to theme-install.php and the add new theme icon you mention links to the exact same url.

    I wonder if you check to see if the problem still persists will it occur again? for curiosity’s sake it it would be interesting to know ??

    I have been reading the blog posts regarding the “Warning: An unexpected error occurred” – with NO luck including calls to the hosting provider…

    I am getting this when updating WordPress… not plugins, not themes…

    Let me toss another interesting piece of data into the mix… I have five word-press sites, all manually installed. The sites that were installed a few months ago do not have the error and ALL the sites are updated to the latest version 4.0.

    The most recently installed sites (in the past few weeks), including one from a 4.0 kit (clean install with no modifications), no plugins and no additional themes have the error right from the start…

    All of these sites are on the same server and the same account…

    This is very strange…

(WordPress could not establish a secure connection to www.ads-software.com. Please contact your server administrator.)

    Did anyone find a fix for this? Because I have 3 sites and all of a sudden I have the same message when I go to the ‘Add Plugin’ page. All sites are with the same host, who have said that everything is OK at their end so it must be a WordPress problem.
    Each site has a different theme and a different mix of plugins, so there are no commonalities except my host. I am really stuck.

    @jetforce, the WordPress plugin system is currently down. AFAIK this is affecting all WordPress installs as well as the WordPress plugin repository at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/

    Let’s hope they get it working soon!

    WordPress servers are down, its not an issue with your host. I think we need to patient and wait for wordpress to fix this. I am experiencing the same problems.

    The plugins system appears to be back up and functioning properly now.

    It’s working on all of my sites now.
