 * I am sure this was talked about in other parts of the support forums, and I would
   like to apologize for adding another topic, but I am in need of immediate help
   and advice. I updated my business website to 3.3.2 not too long ago and I have
   been experiencing the following error message:
 * Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded….
 * The message sites different directories within the wp folder, but it’s never 
   the same one. What should I do? What do you think is causing it? Any advice/help
   would greatly be appreciated!

 * Disable ALL Plugins, and switch (temporarily) to the Twenty Eleven Theme. Do 
   you still observe this error?

 * Yep…but it’s so random. It doesn’t happen sometimes, and now today all the sudden,
   it’s doing it a lot more.
