Hi! Found the fix. Add this in the CSS editor.
.fa {
font-family: FontAwesome;
}

I’m looking into other hosts, and slowly switching. The newspaper’s site will be complicated since there’s so much media.

Ok, so I refreshed my page over and over, no problem, but then I logged in and logged out and when I got to try number 6, my site didn’t respond and I got a “The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading” message (same as my students).

This also makes more sense since the problems started on two different sites at the same time, and I’d added nothing or updated nothing during that time that was common to both sites. That’s why I thought it was a GoDaddy issue to begin with.

So is it true on that string that if “ip allowed for 5 requested per one minute if you ask for 6 requests your IP will be blocked for 2 minutes up to 4 minutes”? That’s the problem. It is GoDaddy.

If you’re running a student blog, you’re going to have more requests than that per minute. It looks like my students are locked out not timed out then.

One of the last GoDaddy’s rep suggestions was to delete temp data in the user’s table. Does this make sense to solve this issue?

I am going to ask them to move the site, but I won’t know if it’s solved the issue until school resumes. I’d like to know what the actual problem is!

I’ve had other minor issues in the past, and GoDaddy reps resolved the issues quickly. However, this time I soon as I mentioned WordPress, I actually got an attitude from one woman, and another rep pretty much told me to do a lot of things I’d already checked. I really don’t want to move the site since I’d intended to use cjolin.com for a research project wiki after Christmas break. All students could do for the last few weeks during class is comment without logging in. They need to be able to post during class.

I just checked to see how many other sites share the same ip and was shocked–I also noticed that although the ip addresses for the two sites were different, the same sites shared the addresses, how is this possible?

I don’t thinks it’s in the theme CSS

Nope, it’s still there.
