pages not loading – but fixed when logging on as admin

  • Has anyone seen this behaviour before?
    Sometimes, at irregular intervals, the output pages on the (fluister.org) website do not load and a generic error message appears.
    It’s a very basic website with a simple custom made theme.

    When this happens, simply logging in on the admin console is enough to restore the output and load the pages again.
    This error cannot be reproduced; it just happens randomly every one in a while.

    There are no cache plugins running, but the issue feels like a ‘cache’ issue somehow.

    I don’t really know where and how to start searching for this: because it’s useles to deactivate plugins when the site runs normally, and it runs normally as soon as I log on to the admin ??

    Suggestions are very welcome!

  • Is it possible there is some sort of permissions check in your theme that could be causing the problem?

    What is the generic error message you see? Is it a 404 page not found or a database connection error or something else?

    The error message is “currently unable to handle this request.” (Err 500).

    I found this thread which seems to address this error message too:

    Possibly it’s a plugin issue somewhere, but it’s hard to track down when everything works fine simply by logging into the admin..
    Cannot just deactivate the plugins and wait, since the site won’t work as it should when I do that.
    Some people in the threat are suggesting a Jetpack issue, will try to disable that for while
