WordPress Update Timeout Process – Solution

In case you are trying to upgrade to WordPress 3.8, but you get the above message…

All you have to do is find file.php under /wp-admin/includes/ folder, go around line 465 and change the

function download_url( $url, $timeout = 300 ) {

to

function download_url( $url, $timeout = 500 ) {

and you’re done!

Happy upgrading!
