RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: name lookup timed out

  • Hello ..

    When inside the Admin console/dashboard – I see the following for all connection attempts to WordPress

    RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: name lookup timed out

    Everything works except talking back to WordPress obviously. There are no DNS or firewall issues on the server – is there anything else I should check?

  • Hi,

    Download and install this plugin manually:
    https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/core-control/

    Once you have activated it, Load the “Core Control” settings page and activate the “HTTP Module”.

    Go to the new tab fore the “HTTP Module” and test cURL.

    You will most likely receive the following error message

    “An Error has occured: name lookup timed out”

    Now click the “Disable Transport” link in for cURL.

    You should now be able install plugins and updates.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.
