When Adding a New Theme I Get an Unexpected Error Message

  • Hi. I’ve recently installed wordpress4.0 and I came across an error in an attempt to add a new theme to my page. This could possibly be an easy fix, but I’m not sure where to start.

    When searching new themes, I get:
    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.

    What steps should I take to correct this? Would I need to go into the folder, or take another route? Thanks in advance.

    is your issue related to SEARCHING for themes only or during the actual INSTALLATION and ACTIVATION of a theme.

    does the same thing happen if you search for a new plugin?

    I’m having the same issue. When I search it gives me the same error message.

    Well I’m completely new to this. but to update on the situation, I made an attempt to upload the zip file of a theme that I downloaded and I received a ‘missing a temporary folder’ message.

    But searching for the theme, and now, during the attempt of installation, I get the missing file error.

    I would resort to ftp uploading, but I want to make sure the initial software will work properly for future use.

    Hi,

    Add this code to your wp-config.php file.

    define(‘WP_PROXY_HOST’, ‘proxy.url.com’);
    define(‘WP_PROXY_PORT’, ‘1234’);
    define(‘WP_PROXY_USERNAME’, ”);
    define(‘WP_PROXY_PASSWORD’, ”);
    define(‘WP_PROXY_BYPASS_HOSTS’, ‘localhost’);
