When posting or updating a post I get "connection lost" half the time.

When posting or updating a post I get “Connection lost. Saving has been disabled until you’re reconnected. We’re backing up this post in your browser, just in case.” this happens half the time, not always. I also get 502 errors often. Are they related and what can I do to fix this?

Check system theme > status first.

Second consider changing the default ‘autosave’ interval for WP in your wp-config.php file.

If you’re using Yoast, try disabling a bunch of the stupid crap they keep adding to bloat the product now.

Might not be related, but all of the above cause issues around these parts!

Thanks,

What should I be looking for at theme > status? In the past Godaddy has told me to check I/O in cpanel.

I think change the WP memory limit to 256 from 96M on WP config file. Is that what u mean?

I also deactivated bloated stuff from yoast before but will try more.

Godaddy, who is hosting tells me that its happening because in wp_options we have way to many tables (over 1 million) they advise to cut down on those and then move to WP managed host, but they have told me so many things beforehand which turned out to be wrong, so it is a never ending nightmare and my client is going nuts.

The is located here, maybe this will help. https://anonym.to/?http://jewishbreakingnews.com

Thanks much

Hi,

Getting an issue installing demo wp debug is set to false in wp-config.php even change to true still demo installation getting error. plugin revslider also not activating

BR.

Looks good. Note if you have a LARGE dbase, you will want to increase the max post size also. e.g., if your dbase was 192MB, that might pose issues someplace.

Ok so now I just tried posting and all morning I get issues! back to square one.

Service Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Additionally, a 503 Service Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

My post max size is already at the limit of 128MB. My max_input_tim is only -1, could that be the issue?

503 Error:
The Web server (running the Web site) is currently unable to handle the HTTP request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay.

Likely good to first check your error logs from hosting account to see what is actually causing the overload. Might be hackers trying to guess passwords, and/or brute force on your XMLRPC.

Useful to
a) install ‘limit login attempts’ plugin
b) consider disable of XMLRPC

See my [TUTORIAL] on basic security practices.

Could also be somebody else on server with runaway process overloading system.

1. What you say about hackers may be true. I have not seen it but several people have told me they get these weird ad pop ups.(maybe from cloudfare?) I can’t replicate it though.

2. What you say about another site on teh shared server may make sense, because sometimes I have no issues at all and the othe rhalf of the times, I do. Weird. As I said earlier, Godaddy tells me its because I have over 1 million in my wp_options database and if that is cut down on , I will have no problems? any truth to that or are they just blowing smoke? They also say that switching to a WordPress managed host will help.

3.

Here is what my error log says. Cant really understand it, any ideas?[Fri Nov 03 09:49:50.183361 2017] [autoindex:error] [pid 30502:tid 139856363628288] [client 185.93.229.14:40966] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /home/jewbnews/public_html/wp-content/cache/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html.var,index.htm,index.html,index.xhtml,index.wml,index.perl,index.pl,index.plx,index.ppl,index.cgi,index.jsp,index.js,index.jp,index.php4,index.php3,index.php,index.phtml,index.shtml,default.htm,default.html,home.htm,index.php5,Default.html,Default.htm,home.html,welcome.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive, referer: http://jewishbreakingnews.com/wp-content/cache/

Could it be that one of my plugins is shutting everything down?

Upon posting, about 700 people get a browser alert via ONE SIGNAL

and an email alert gets sent via ‘Email Subscribers’ plugin. But that only goes to about 20 subscribers.

I also have ‘Nextscripts” plugin running which sends the post to Facebook, Twitter and Telegram.

The way I know something is wrong is either,

1. When I try share a post on Facebook, the picture and link doesnt show up, the attachment just shows the homepage.

2. I get a 503 error.

Then what I do is wait a while and sometimes it works, or I resubmit on ‘Nextscripts’ from the page and that fixes, the image not showing up, most of the time.

Well, a good normal debug procedure is to disable plugins until you determine which one causing error. Turning debug ‘on’ for WP might also help with that.

The issue with FB is not related to much of anything — we have the issue where when manually sharing to FB sometimes they don’t capture anything and just have the URL — and we have dedicated 8 core XEON server in Class A IBM Datacenter. FB just times out on its own with up to 2 billion users. This morning I had to do the ‘refresh attachment’ option on FB for one thing. Annoying, but that’s FB and nothing you can do about THAT.

Oh wow that would take forever because I have over 40 plugins and it sometimes happens and sometimes doesnt, so would be almost impossible to narrow it down like that. I thought disabling Yoast would do the trick, but alas it did not. Also when I had veyr little plugins I was having the same issue.

Could it be that it is just Newspaper in general that has issues and too many wp_options?

Where do I turn debug on for wordpress?

The FB issue is not FB related because it only happens when the site keeps trying to connect or has a 502 error.
