Thank you VERY MUCH for sharing that response here.

I’m having the same problem.That is not a WordPress issue. It is an error code generated by the Pagelines theme (you can see the code for it here: https://github.com/pagelines/platformpro/blob/master/sections/section.twitterbar.php), and it is echoing back an error code generated by Twitter. I don’t know how to fix it yet, so I can’t offer further advice on that point.

Thanks for the concise checklist.

My problem was two-fold: first, a plugin-incompatibility prevented the template from displaying. And secondly, the theme I was using was NOT compatible with 2.8.4 (ARGH!) and now I have a default display fired up in it’s place. (Off theme-shopping I go, tra la).

It’s baffling when WP=blank screen. Thanks for providing some starting places to look at.

This issue is resolved.
Turns out to be a non-problem: I was receiving registration notice from same-named (but now retired) blog on another server. Sheesh. My feedstats failure was solved only by deleting and reinstalling the plugin, but it seems to have been a transient system hiccup unrelated to anything else.

I want to give a shout out to the incredibly helpful Mark at Maximum Security, the folks who are soon to release a super-tight security plugin for WP, who helped me sort this out. He was immediately responsive to my dilemma, even though it came at him totally out of the blue. I can’t speak highly enough of MaxSecurity’s superior customer response ethic, even with me barely a customer yet (am awaiting the beta release of the plugin). And on the tech front, they have serious security expertise that is making their plugin an unusually robust one for WP. Check them out at https://wpsecurity.net/.

I’d just block that IP from the stats plugins.

mikey – thanks for the link. That looks like a useful plugin for when I eventually open things up to registration. But right now, as Gangleri asks, I do not have the membership option “anyone can register” checked as active. If someone is hacking in past the ordinary safeguards to register anyway, I don’t know that a plugin like that will help.

hm, that said, I’ll run it anyway. Might be an additional safety net and can’t hurt.

Gangleri, re is new user in the users’ table: if they were, wouldn’t they show up on the Users list in the admin panel? I don’t see them there. I don’t know how to look at the db table directly.

I should add, this ‘registration’ msg happened about mid-day. I also run FeedStats, and it has suddenly ceased to register traffic, showing zero visits today, although my other stats tools show visitors throughout the day. Just logged in through a proxy server to test that: Wassup and Cystats show my hit, Feedstats shows 0.

WTF?
