No, I was not able to solve the problem.

The proxy server settings are already in place and it still does not work.

I tried it and nothing changed. I’m not really sure why it would since my problem is with the dashboard, not the theme I am using. The inability of the dashboard to connect to api.www.ads-software.com via SSL is present even in a brand new install of WordPress on our network. So the issue is not related to a specific plugin or theme which I have already tried disabling anyhow. I’m guessing there is some sort of setting on the server side that needs to be changed but I have no idea what it could be. The network admins think it is something in the PHP code so they are not helping much right now.

I just found out I had the setting wrong for WP_PROXY_HOST. Once I corrected that, all the debug messages stopped. Now I just 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.”

Now if I comment out ‘set_url_scheme’ in wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php, I can see some of the plugins but I get a bunch of different debug codes like “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /zdata/apache/docroot/wp-includes/update.php on line 315”. I’m still not sure why the server cannot communicate with api.www.ads-software.com via HTTPS.

The response from the network admins is “Neither of the commands will work due to our corporate security policy that requires all outbound traffic to go through the http proxy servers.” What he did try was disabling HTTPS in wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php by commenting out ‘$url = set_url_scheme( $url, ‘https’ );’. He said that worked. But I don’t want HTTPS disabled.
