Here’s what I’ve done so far:
– Disabled all (yes, all) of my few plugins and retried
– Switched to the 2015 theme and retried
– Clicked the Re-install Now button from the Updates section of my Dashboard
– Manually deleted and reuploaded all of the blog files
I suspect this is something with my webhost, but searching here and elsewhere didn’t turn up any potential leads. I suspect this because I’m having another issue with them that came up while I was troubleshooting this one. I use the Jetpack plugin on this website and when I reactivated it after testing with it deactivated, I couldn’t get Jetpack to reconnect to my blog. Jetpack support suggests my blog is inaccessible via cURL.
I’m trying to get that resolved with my webhost. Could it be contributing to this?
Any suggestion on other things I could try?
I can manually delete each spam message one at a time, for what that’s worth.
Thanks, Gary
]]>When I log in as an admin and go Comments -> Spam, then click the Empty Spam button, I get a page with a 403 error. I can delete spam comments individually, but when I try to bulk delete them, I get the 403 error just as with the Empty Spam button.
I’m running the most recent version of the Twenty Ten theme, and I tried disabling all plugins, but I still get the 403.
I checked my /public_html/.htaccess, and tried commenting out everything but the WordPress section, but no joy.
I also tried deleting the .htaccess in the Akismet plugin folder temporarily, but that still didn’t help.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

]]>I have tried to increase my php memory to 128M and execution time from 30 to 60.
But I still have this issue which is pretty annoying.
I’ve also taken a look at my HTCACESS FIle but I can’t see anything strange since I am not familiar with this type of files.

Anyone can help me out?
Website link: https://smokingdesigners.com
]]>Now the admin bar is up on the top so I just click dashboard or other links. All working.
The other thing that’s happening is “empty spam” or “select-all/delete” (spam comments) takes me to my site’s error page (not the wordpress 404 page like login does)
Checked settings in phpMyAdmin, all set that I know how to set.
plugins:
AddToAny
Akismet
All in One SEO Pack
Anti-Captcha
Broken Link Checker
WP htaccess Control
I’m not sure but this may have happened with last wp update. Other themes not affected.
I guess thats about it.
]]>However, when I go to “Empty Spam” all I get is an Error 500 Internal Server Error.
If anyone can help me with this, it is appreciated!
