Just set up a proxy server and add new to the wp-config.php file inside wordpress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automattic (wordpress.org) decided to block access to its themes and plugins repository for all WP Engine users and thus sites hosted on WP Engine got crashed due to not able to update wordpress plugins and themes. Here&#8217;s is a quick fix for sites: <\/p><div class='code-block code-block-9' style='margin: 8px auto 8px 0; text-align: left; display: block; clear: both;'>\n<!-- OnlHeaderResponsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5339207343588395\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9406207027\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can get a cheap proxy server like a VPS from The-Online.com <a href=\"https:\/\/www.secureserver.net\/products\/vps?plid=544384\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.secureserver.net\/products\/vps?plid=544384\" rel=\"noopener\">VPS Hosting here<\/a> for as low as $6\/mo and install CentOS or Almalinux OS and Apache web server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the proxy is configured, you need to add the following configuration to the wp-config.php file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>define('WP_PROXY_HOST', 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'); \/\/ Proxy Address\ndefine('WP_PROXY_PORT', 'xxx'); \/\/ Port Number\ndefine('WP_PROXY_USERNAME', 'xxxxx'); \/\/ Proxy Username (if exists)\ndefine('WP_PROXY_PASSWORD', 'xxxxx'); \/\/ Proxy Password (if exists)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This solution should solve the issue with updates even if Automattic finds a way to block the workaround implemented by WP Engine earlier today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">tags: #wpengine #wp #engine #wordpress #fix #proxy #server #status #<a href=\"https:\/\/the-online.com\/#wpconfig\">wpconfig<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WordPress sites hosted on WP Engine need to add a proxy Here is a quick fix for sites hosted on WP Engine.
