Plugin problem

    Hi all.
    All of a sudden I got problems with searching, installing and updating plugins.
    Updating ends with a maintenance message on the live site that will not go away until I erase the .maintenance file. It all seems to be aa writing problem but permissions are normal and a couple of times I DID manage to install plugins.

    Everything in WordPress works just fine except under “Plugins” that is VERY slow and mostly ends with an error. Different messages. This is the most common:
    “An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with www.ads-software.com or this server’s configuration.”
    Disabled all nonessential plugins but no difference

    I run an Apache+Nginx server. Have 6 different WordPress web sites and none of the others have any problem.
    I increased max_memory_limit to 300. Then I tried to increase the value to 600, no difference. I increased the limit in Apache php.ini and in wpconfig.php
    Searched the web and got some suggestions to fix this but none of them helped.

    Have an ice day /Jan

  • Hi,

    Perhaps a completely different issue but I just lost an afternoon to the error “An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with www.ads-software.com or this server’s configuration.” This was seen whenever trying to update WP core, a theme or plugin from my local machine.

    To cut a very long story short, which involves me messing with firewalls, hosts file and curl. The issue for me seems to be that my IP (or range perhaps) was somehow blocked from accessing api.www.ads-software.com

    Solution: Hotspot via my mobile which of course changed my IP and then everything worked. So now i’m using my VPN to do updates.

    Hopes this helps you or someone else save a few hrs. If not best of luck.

    Cheers

    Hi
    Interesting “theory”
    I use NoIP for my work computer.
    I have been away for a couple of hours. Now back and POOF, it works again.
    I do not know if the dynamic IP changed when I was away since I can not find a way to see WHEN it changed, but will definitely be the first thing to look into next time it happens.
    Does that mean NoIP use blacklisted IP’s? Must look into that also, can not have that.
    Thanks
    /Jan
