Failed to access Github repository (cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 5000 milliseconds)

[chrisbutler]

This appears to be happening with some extensions but not others. I have tested with multiple Wordpress installs (6.0, 5.4, 4.8) and see the same issue across all of them. I do not have any issues curl-ing from other sites

Lists below are a sample of what I have tested:

Extensions that download successfully

• Translate Press

Extensions that fail to download

• Backup & Demo Content
• Sliders
• SEO
• Analytics

same,

Failed to access Github repository "ThemeFuse/Unyson-Backups-Extension" releases. (cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 5001 milliseconds)

The same issue. Failed to access Github repository (cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 5000 milliseconds). The extensions did not istalled.

[reviselabs]

I am also finding this issue, however it seems to be coming from the root issue that the download location "https://github-api-cache.unyson.io/" is currently down.

[annabellecloete]

I had the same issue, manually by uploading the extensions directly to my files.. extensions.zip .

[JustinGuese]

Hi @annabellecloete , could you specify to where exactly you uploaded it? I tried wp-content/plugins/ but it doesn't work

[annabellecloete]

public_html/wp-content/plugins/unyson/framework/extensions Make sure you unzip the specific extensions within the extensions folder :)

[JustinGuese]

hmm kind of fixes it a little bit for me, thanks! still missing the "import demo" option for me, but at least the backup option shows now...

For anyone that wants to fix it temporarily until the "probably" will fix it (or not, this issue exists since 2017)

1. ssh into your machine
2. go to WP directory /wp-content/plugins/unyson/framework/extensions
   • if it does not exist install the "unyson" plugin first
   • full directory differs for each Wordpress install. bitnami is for example in /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/unyson/framework/extensions
3. download the repo manually wget https://github.com/ThemeFuse/Unyson-Backups-Extension/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
4. unzip the zip file unzip master.zip
5. rename folder to backups mv Unyson-Backups-Extension-master/ backups
6. clean up rm master.zip
7. go to your Wordpress admin panel, head over to "Unyson" and it should show "activate" at the backup section. Click it

@davemgelinas The issue has been solved, at least for me. I could install extensions directly this morning and it worked, but deleted all other extensions, downloaded manually from zipped folder, some of which were from previous versions.

[patrick-developer-77]

I'm adding what worked for me. Hopefully it works for you as well.

I de-actived the Unyson WordPress plugin and then re-activated it. Then I was able to install all of the Unyson plugins.

Again:

https://github-api-cache.unyson.io/ is up now but extensions not loading

[ManySolutions]

I'm glad i kept googling. I was going mad that there was a major issue that i just couldn't get to the bottom of! Although i have tried to install them manually via the git hub zips and that still fails me. :-/

Try to add following somewhere into your theme/functions.php

if ( ! function_exists( '_mwt_fw_filter_github_api_url' ) ) :
    function _mwt_fw_filter_github_api_url( $url ) {
        return 'https://api.github.com';
    }
endif;

add_filter( 'fw_github_api_url', '_mwt_fw_filter_github_api_url', 999 );
