Thank you for your software, I really find it very useful. I just installed flywheel and manage three sites at the moment. One think I really like is the possibility of ceating a live link!

Unfortunately I have an issue with getting from my WP-Site into the internet, I cannot download any plugins or themes directly or register for anything online:

For example I get the following note when trying to install a plugin:

```auto
Warning: 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. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /app/public/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 168

```

```auto
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.

```

Could this be a problem with my MacOs – I have MacOs 10.9.5 and am working with Firefox and Wordpress/Elementor. I also allowed Flywheel to access the Internet via „Little Snitch“.

Or do you have any other suggestion?

thank you,

Ebso from Hamburg, Germany

@ebso

I’m sorry about the troubles you’re having. I think this article might be able to help you along: [Help! My Local site cannot establish a connection to WordPress.org](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/help-my-local-site-cannot-establish-a-connection-to-wordpress-org/3272). If the issue persists after trying that could you respond with the version of Local you are using and a log file.

I’m having this exact same issue, even following that article.

- Using Local by Flywheel v2.4.5
- macOS Mojave 10.14.2 Beta
