Since I uploaded my wordpress site to 000webhost, it’s been unable to connect to wordpress.org. As a result, I can’t download plugins and can’t update my wordpress. The error message I keep getting is
Blockquote Your site is unable to reach WordPress.org at 198.143.164.251, and returned the error: cURL error 7: Failed connect to api.wordpress.org:443; Connection timed out
I’ve searched for solutions from wordpress, but was redirected to my host.
I’m on the free/learning plan.

Thanks!
I have managed to create a test website on your account, install WordPress and install plugins without issue.
I can only advise you freshly install WordPress to combat your issue 
Okay. That’s nice.
I’ll have to duplicate my site and reinstall wordpress. I’ll come back to give the outcome.
Thanks

Dear @Infinity, I’ve done as you said. I backed up my site, and painstakingly reinstalled WordPress. Just to be sure, I loaded my files both on my localhost, and on the 000webhost server.
Problem not fixed! WordPress only returned the error on the webhost, while my localhost works just fine.
Might I be doing something wrong?
