 * Hi Guys,
 * I am struggling with my site. All of a sudden it won’t save/publish/trash posts
   or pages. I cant change Themes, Activate plugins basically I can navigate around
   the backend but cant action anything at all.
 * I disabled all my plugins and all themes except twentytwelve so it was forcing
   it back to its basics and same issues any idea on what could be causing this?
 * The URL is :- [http://titussaltmedia.co.uk/blogs/](http://titussaltmedia.co.uk/blogs/)
   
   I setup a phpinfo file and the PHP is 5.2, Im a little stumped
 * Any information would be greatfully received.
 * Cheers
    J

 * Have you tried:
    – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from 
   a **fresh** download of your current version of WordPress. Make sure that you
   delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

 * Hi Esmi,
 * Yes I repaired the database. However it sprung to mind regards limitations I 
   logged into the clients CP and looked at the size of the db which was exactly
   150MB.
 * Turnsout thats the max limit of there hosting package, so its not letting WordPress
   write anything to the DB. Thanks for your help on this one matey.
 * Cheers

 * Have a look at [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-optimize/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-optimize/)
 * Perhaps you can clean some of the crud out of the database to bring its size 
   down? I’d also suggest installing [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/revision-control/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/revision-control/)
   to stop post revisions filling up the database.
