When I check Plugin Updates or try to Browse Plugins in the Admin CP, I get the following error:

"There was a problem communicating with the MyBB modifications server. Please try again in a few minutes."


The following errors were encountered:
  • There was a problem communicating with the MyBB modifications server. Please try again in a few minutes.
exactly which version of MyBB you are using ? does version check work fine at admin panel ?
do you get latest MyBB news at the home page of forum admin panel ?
This happens pretty often if you have an old version of MyBB (I think around <1.8.6). As m said, what version of MyBB are you running?
i'm using newest version of mybb
Are you using a freehoster?
This line is the problem, as it's calling this function which is what is failing. My guess would be you don't have cURL enabled and something in php.ini is preventing fsockopen() from opening a connection to MyBB, thus fetch_remote_file() returns false and you get the error.
curl is enabled

Either it's not enabled, your CA cert is invalid, or your host is blocking your site from using it. And to enable the extension in php.ini it should look like this
extension=php_curl.dll
. The curl wrapper relies on that dll being enabled. You're sure it's not commented out?
if i enable extension in php.ini than can it will work?
