    – This typically means WordPress trying to connect to the update server in the background, but couldn’t. This could be due to a simple internet connection issue, or may be the server is offline.
    – Therefore, try contacting your internet/hosting provider.

    Looks like I’m having the same issue too. I have a perfect constant connection to the internet. It appears the suspect code according to the error report is the following:

    if ( $ssl && is_wp_error( $raw_response ) ) {
    trigger_error(
    sprintf(
    /* translators: %s: support forums URL */
    __( ‘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.’ ),
    __( ‘https://www.ads-software.com/support/’ )
    ) . ‘ ‘ . __( ‘(WordPress could not establish a secure connection to www.ads-software.com. Please contact your server administrator.)’ ),
    headers_sent() || WP_DEBUG ? E_USER_WARNING : E_USER_NOTICE
    );
    $raw_response = wp_remote_post( $http_url, $options );
    }

    Any Thoughts?
