Case Study: RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: name lookup timed out – Wordpress Blog

Posted by Shane on October 9, 2009 10:47 pm No Comments yet

Hi,

Problem Summary:

I have tried to upgrade plugins and wordpress version to 2.8.4 – latest version from automatic upgrade plugin but encountered this error message on dashboard:

RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: name lookup timed out

Possible Solutions:

Solution 1:

Disable all the Plugins and have a check with upgrade because other active plugins may affect in upgrade.

Solution 2:

- Download and install this plugin manually:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/core-control/

- Once you have activated this plugin from wordpress admin area, Load the “Core Control” settings page and activate the “HTTP Module”.

- Go to the new tab fore the “HTTP Module” and test CURL. You will most likely receive the following error message:

“An Error has occured: name lookup timed out”

- Now click the “Disable Transport” link in for CURL. You should now be able install/upgrade plugins and wordpress updates.

That’s it!

Thanks,

Shane G.
