Connection timed out after 5000 milliseconds

  • I have this plugin installed on three sites, and it hasn’t worked on any of them for a couple weeks now. It causes the sites to load slowly, and then eventually generates the error message: cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 5000 milliseconds

    I have OpenWeatherMap APP ID keys, and have tried clearing the widget cache. What’s going on?

    I added OpenWeatherMap’s IP (192.241.169.168) to the server’s firewall whitelist, which solved the issue. Hopefully this helps someone else!

    VERY helpful to know for anyone using a Firewall. Moreover, WordFence users should note that this does not get auto-whitelisted in Learning Mode so you will have to do it manually.
