Site Won’t Load Hosting Company Blaming WordPress Coding?

  • Hi All-

    I was using an older version of wordpress I think it was 2.8. something. Just about three days ago the sites stopped loading. I have numerous sites and this happened across the board with all the sites.

    I contacted my hosting company and of course they just simple stated that it was a coding issue and said I would have to contact wordpress. Not sure who wordpress is and couldn’t find him.(joking). At any rate I updated to the latest version 2.9.2 and ran an update on the plugins I have also to make sure everything was current.

    So all is up to date and looks fine from what I can see but sites still are not loading. ONly the top half loads and then it just stalls.

    Here is one of the sites

    Hopefully someone can help.

    Thanks

    Can you lead me to info on how to turn off the cache? I am assuming it is in the wp-config file somewhere.

    Thanks

    Using the File Manager in Cpanel and firefox I opened the wp-config.pho file and searched for the following line

    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);

    I found that deleting this line will help possible. However I could not find that line anywehre in the wp-config file and it is not a very large file. I search using the firefox find tool or CRTL F. Nothing. I also scrolled through and check manually but nothing of the sort. Could this be found somewhere else?

    If you’re running caching, it would be a plugin.

    Personally, I’d suggest you temporarily switch to the Default theme and disable all plugins and see how things work. If the site then works, you can experiment with enable plugins one-by-one and checking after each.

    you have something else going on
    maybe try renaming plugins folder to deactivate them all just to rule out a borked plugin

    also, might look for signs of a hack in your theme’s header.php, index.php, etc.
