"An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums."

/** EXAMPLE - proxy settings */ 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');
