Okay back in business!

Moral to the story?

If at first you do not succeed, try and try again until you do.

Thanks for your patience.

Okay here is a summary of my problem.

I was able to repair the “so called” Fatal error:

I will go to my home page and get the MM Splash Page.

I now can log in to dashboard via the MM login.

I can go to any page via dashboard and once in do anything I normally do.

I can not get rid of the MM splash page on the home landing page. Even though the plugin is deactivated and supposedly not in maintenance mode.

Any clues?

Okay I got back in to my administration dashboard. The Maintenance Mode Plugin is deactivated and in Recently Active (1)

Yet, when I go to home page via dashboard or standard straight to home page via browser I still land on the Maintenance Mode Splash Page.

Update:10:30 AM Okay I can go to pages via view page from my dashboard and that is good.

The bottom line is Maintenance Mode Plugin splash page even though deactivated has decided to become my Home Page.

Is there any chance when I turned maintenance mode off and then saved it that my save didn’t take? Thus when I deactivated the plugin it was actually still in maintenance mode and is now stuck in it?

Update: 10:45 AM Okay it is definitely only affecting the Home Page, at least from the back end here.

Woo boy. This is one seriously screwed up situation.

Sorry about the typos. Long hours.

James . . . Let’s look at the problem again.

Why, after deactivating maintenance mode, then saving that setting, then disabling the plugin to recently active – do I land on Maintenance Mode splash page when it is supposedly OFF?

Then, when I attempt to get into the back end via the tiny login on the lower right hand corner, I am sent to the white scree of death.

Now, I redirected my audience-readers via htaccess to a maintenance page before I crashed out at 2:30 AM last night.

I have to go to Mingle Forum to check in to see if they have any cluere so I will be back.

Still have no http connection from Dashboard to the outside.

RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: couldn’t connect to host
Akismet has detected a problem. A server or network problem is preventing Akismet from working correctly.

Okay I think I have everything tweaked all systems go!

Thanks for your help CB.

Odd . . this problem seems to be confined to my Firefox/3.6.10.

It works on IE and Opera.

Arrrrgh

Have had this problem since last Friday. Have no connection to Askimet or WordPress development blog or plugin update notifications.

All I get is “we’re working on it”. Whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Okay some progress . . . me suspects perhaps a cookie issue might be the “culprit”.

Okay, here is what happens. If I log out from the front end with the widget it does log out. What happens though is the log in widget still says . . .

You are logged in as
click here to logout

When I clear my browser cache then the Login status returns to the
‘You are not currently logged in’ status.

Update: Definitely something with the Login Widget I removed it and user can logout from the Register page with no problem.

Yes I am using the sidebar widget. Everything looks great and set up excellent. Let me just tinker around a bit, this is a sister site that won’t deploy for a few weeks so if I can figure it out I will post back here with whatever conclusion I arrive at.

Thanks for your swift assistance also it’s truly appreciated.

So everything is now updated manually. Still no connection available to WordPress or Akismet though.

Think I will go fishing.

Been having a similar problem since Friday.

WordPress Development Blog
RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: couldn’t connect to host

Akismet has detected a problem. A server or network problem is preventing Akismet from working correctly.

So I can not update a fresh WP install I did Friday, or get anything I need from the “outside” via dashboard. They say they are aware of it and are working on it.
