Problem:
You are using GoDaddy's managed hosting and encountering a 'cURL error 28: Failed to connect to api.wpml.org port 443 after 10001 ms: Timeout was reached' when trying to register with WPML's automatic installer.
Solution:
1. This error typically indicates that your server is unable to reach our API (api.wpml.org) within the allowed time. It might be due to a temporary slowdown between your server and WPML.org. Please try registering again to see if the issue persists.
2. If the problem continues, ask GoDaddy to allow outbound requests to https://api.wpml.org. You may need to temporarily disable any CDN or security layers and ask GoDaddy to specifically whitelist api.wpml.org.
