Increase timeout value to make WP install plugins
I installed Wordpress 2.7.1 for a client because eShop wouldn’t work for 2.8. I wasn’t able to install plugins from the back-end and kept getting the following errors:
Download failed.: couldn’t connect to host
Download failed.: name lookup timed out
Problem solved when I saw alel’s comment on profitblogger.
I just increase the ‘timeout’ value to 1000 and the plugins got downloaded and installed with no problem. The ‘timeout’ parameter can be found inside this file ‘wp-admin/include/file.php’.
I’ve never had this problem on other hosting providers I wonder if this is a CrazyDomains specific issue.
