Which version are you upgrading from?

In wordpress, you use function.php file of the active theme to add custom filters which is why the above code should be added to that file.

This should disable ssl when connecting to the wordpress api for plugin info.

If there is a network security policy in place that prevent requests from being sent to the wp servers then the only option I can think of now if to use a proxy server.

Have you tried disabling ssl for plugins repo only using plugins_api_args filter?

// add it to the theme's functions.php file

add_filter( 'plugins_api_args', function ( $args, $action ) {
	$args->is_ssl = false;
	return $args;
} );

Can you run these commands from the server ??

ping api.www.ads-software.com

telnet api.www.ads-software.com 443

How about registering new post type “shop” and displaying a list of them wherever required (wp_query)?

Have you tried to resave the permalink settings again?

Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks -> Save Changes
