kamranS-2	Background of the issue: I'm trying to register the WPML plugin and encountered an issue. I expected to successfully register. Symptoms: I received a connection error: 'Unable to get data from service. Detailed error: cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds'. Questions: What causes a request timeout during registration? How can I resolve a cURL error 28?

The error happens due to a temporary slow down between your site and WPML servers. Please try again in a few minutes. If the issue persists, ask for assistance from your hosting provider. Other than that, you can also try these steps: IMPORTANT: Please take full backup of your website and database beforehand. - Deactivate all plugins except WPML. - Register WPML. - Activate other plugins. Sometimes a conflict from another plugin or theme may cause such breakdowns. I hope the above mentioned 'll help you resolve the issue. Regards. P.S.: I'll be off over the weekend and 'll be able to attend on Monday.
