This easy CSS solution worked for me:(installed the plugin: customCSS and then added:

/*To remove Sorting drop down */
.orderby {
display: none !important;
}

Hope this helps someone ??

Problem: The woocommerce cart just suddenly stopped working

Cause: Someone had uploaded a HUGE image that used up all the allocated memory for wordpress on the server.

Solution: got memory allocation increased to 120MB by the webhost.

(Same solution as ‘Unicornbass’ s explanation)

Hope this helps you.

anyone managed to resolve the super annoying issue above, no administrators can login into wordpress dashboard via wp-admin since i activated this stupid woocommerce plugin! Come woothemes get your act together.

OK, after rebuilding the entire site and backing it up constantly…
I came back to the site above this morning, just to try adding the site to https://managewp.com. (Which is an AWESOME site if you want to backup and/or move your site to another server by the way, PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW THE RUBBISH Steps given on this forum if you want to move a site people…just USE https://managewp.com it works and it takes 5 mins!).
Anyway, Whilst trying to add the managewp plugin i got a ‘Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted’ message, so i tried
adding this line to my wp-config.php file:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

and hey presto the whole site works again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant believe it…over a month of extra work and all it was was MEMORY! i asked GoDaddy about this right at the beginning and they said it wasn’t a memory problem.

There you go people, just add,
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
to your wp-config.php file and you should be good!

im almost 99.99% sure the site hasnt been hacked, its only accessible by 4 people.
so hacking is ruled out.
im going to rebuild the entire site today, what has happened has been a major blow to my view of wordpress,..maybe you really do only get what you ‘pay’ for.

I agree re content being the issue, but how can content, images/text cause an issue like this? I will check the error logs again…

HI Esmi,
I installed a completely new WP3.3.1 on another server…imported the xml file from the old/damaged WP3.3.1 site and boom, same issue. i changed the name of the administrator too.
Im going to have to start a months work all over again, the worrying thing is, if i cant actually identify the problem, the client will lose confidence in WP as a system. Im starting to lose confidence myself. this is a tricky problem encountered by LOTS of people, the forum is riddled with similar issues.

just to let you know ive seen your post…im having a similar issue…looks like im going to have to start my site from scratch!

i created a new admin, logged out of the old one, then logged into the new admin and erased the old one transfer all posts etc to the new admin, all seemed to work well.

different installation/ not a new host, i have about 10 WP sites on the server and only this one has the issue.

The problem seemed to occur after the deletion of the main administrator (but this is often a recommended security step)

and the upload of the HUGE files.
Godaddy have fobbed me off with ‘we cant duplicate the issue’ (ha ha) which means they haven’t even tried. because its there alright, its been tested by a number of people using various browsers etc etc

Hi Esmi,
thanks for taking the time to respond…ive seen you on pretty much every forum ??
answers to your questions…
YES
YES
YES

Another strange thing i learned yesterday…
i recreated the entire site! all was working well until i imported the xml file generated by the old version of the site. as soon as i imported that xml boom! the site wouldnt let me make any posts/upload any images etc. I deleted all the posts, commetns and pages from the site and the problem persists.
VERY STRANGE…what could it be about the posts that could cause this problem? im stumped…ive tried almost everything i can think of.
