Are you plagued by horrible internet connectivity, and do you keep getting errors like this one, when you try to upgrade your WordPress blog?
I kept getting the same error over and over again, and decided there’s a better way of overcoming this problem. Thanks to Nazham, he had some pointers on his blog to share on how you can edit the file (/wp-admin/includes/file.php) and modify this line:
$response = wp_remote_get($url, array(’timeout’ => 30));
to increase the timeout to something longer like 120.
However, this method apparently is overwritten when you upgrade your WordPress installation in the future. Felix Ker has a plugin that permanently fixes this problem, perhaps you could try it out instead.
Here lie my thoughts: that of an entrepreneur, media-junkie, gadget-junkie, photographer, videographer, once-PC-user-but-now-Mac-user and husband.
Thanks Alex for dropping by at my blog…pergh…im really supprise getting a visitor and comment from great photographer like u…really boosting up my metabolism…ha..ha..ha..thanks bro for the comment and i hope u will come again and critic more on my works…if im not mistaken you were in KL with Amru right during Louis Pang visit to KL on WPPI 2010 seminar right?hope i were there…(currently its still on my dream list…hik..hik..)
Thanks for this guide! At last, I can use WordPress Auto Upgrade.
Mate you are a legend thanks for the tip worked perfectly!
I’m glad I could be of some assistance! Their default timeout assumes everyone has a blazing fast connection, and lives in the US!
Would be cool if this was included as an option in WordPress’s Admin settings along with a few other settings instead of manually locating the file!
