Title: Fatal Error: Maximum execution time… Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Fatal Error: Maximum execution time… * [HFYMartha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hfymartha/) * (@hfymartha) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-maximum-execution-time-2/) * I have looked through the forums and searched for this type of error. I found a lot of threads, all of which seemed to be old and closed to new posts, and none of which seemed to have an answer to our specific problem, so I’m starting a new one. When we launched our website (in late July) the blog worked fine. But more and more often lately when we try to do one thing or another we get the dreaded: `Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\Hosting\#######\html\wordpress\` …(etc.) That much of the error message is always the same, but after that, it reads many different ‘locations’ – for example: - `wp-admin\includes\file.php on line 11` - `wp-includes\kses.php on line 39` - `wp-content\plugins\jetpack\modules\shortcodes\slideshare.php on line 7` - `wp-admin\includes\post.php on line 21` * Those four were all when I was repeatedly trying to reach the dashboard. Other times it may be following a link to a blog post, or a link to manage comments. I haven’t found a rhyme or reason to where it happens or where it indicates the problem is (though about half of the ones I’ve documented seem to involve jetpack). Occasionally the error message isn’t by itself, but inserted on whatever page I’m trying to reach, partway down (with the rest of the page missing). * We’re using WordPress 3.2.1 with the theme Twenty Ten, and the only modifications I’ve made have been in appearance through the CSS, plus specific links in the menu of the blog to other pages on the website (the rest of which is in html). Those links were made using the editor on the dashboard. The address directly to the blog is [http://herfinalyear.com/wordpress/](http://herfinalyear.com/wordpress/) * Do you have any idea what we can do to keep this from happening?

If so create a blank file in Notepad, save as php.ini * In the file put: * ``` max_execution_time = 60 max_input_time = 60 memory_limit = 64M ``` * Place in your root WordPress install. Increase the numbers if you continue to have problems. * I’ve seen other issues similar to this caused by Jetpack. I’ve also seen some negative reviews on it, but I have no experience with it. But it could be the culprit. * Thread Starter [HFYMartha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hfymartha/) * (@hfymartha) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-maximum-execution-time-2/#post-2315658) * Well, that didn’t help at all. Anyone have any other suggestions? I can’t seem to get into the wordpress part of my site at all today. I was going to try to yank jetpack but can’t do it if I can’t even get in! * [MickeyRoush](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mickeyroush/) * (@mickeyroush) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-maximum-execution-time-2/#post-2315659) * > I can’t seem to get into the wordpress part of my site at all today.
