• Hi

    My homepage at http://www.frankbukowski.com/ seems to have crashed, for no apparent reason. Not sure when it happened as I hadn’t looked at it for a few days, but when I tried to go to it this morning instead of the homepage I saw a screen full of weird symbols, like a font chart. I feared I’d been hacked or something but then I noticed it didn’t appear to have affected any of my other pages, which load as normal. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? Appreciate any helpful suggestions.

    Cheers

    Frank

  • I have a plugin that does something similar on just one site. I have to switch from FF to Chrome to build it as haven’t found a root cause.

    Do you have a link to a page that is working?

    Hi rdell
    Yes I guess it may be a plugin, I use about 15-20 on the site in all. I’ve been using most of them for a couple of years without any problems, but I supposed a recent update of one of them could have caused it.
    Yes here’s a link to a page that’s working, and then you can use the menu to get around the site. http://www.frankbukowski.com/howdy-2/

    Hi -@FrankBukowski

    I am sorry to see that your site is filled with weird symbols.
    I would like to suggest you that if you have any third party plugins then please try deactivate them one by one and check your site.
    If your problem still exists then kindly report it.

    Thank You!!!

    Autooptimise has been causing issues – see here.

    Thanks guys
    I’m out at work today but when I get home later I will take your advice and try switching off the plugins one at a time (starting with Autoptimise!) to see if I can pinpoint the problem to any of them. I’ll let you know how I get on.
    Thanks again for your replies and suggestions, much appreciated.
    Cheers

    Hi all
    I deactivated each of the plugins in turn but it made no difference, the homepage is still screwed. Could it have been the last WordPress update that caused it? Not sure how to roll that back to test it. Scratching my head to see what the problem is. I’m running Customizr with a minimal child theme. Is it worth switching to a default WordPress theme to see if that makes a difference, and if I do so, then switch it back to Customizr, will that screw up all my Customizr settings? Any help appreciated.
    Cheers

    I do not see a problem with your homepage. Maybe you fixed it in the past couple hours? It looks normal to me!

    Thanks CustomizrLuvr

    It’s all very strange. Yesterday the page wouldn’t load in Chrome, IE or Firefox. This morning it was fine in Firefox. It was still scrambled in Chrome and IE, but when I cleared out my Chrome cache again, this time it loaded okay. But in IE it still keeps loading as a bunch of scrambled symbols, no matter how often I clear the IE browser cache. Very strange indeed. At least it seems to be back in Chrome and Firefox, although anyone trying to view it in IE might just get alphabet soup, which is a bit of a bummer. Hopefully whatever is causing it will right itself, like it did in Firefox. Thanks for your help all.

    It was jumbled in my FF cache, but OK after Refresh Page. A strange one indeed.
