 * Hello
 * I am contsantly getting time out errors like this:
 * Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/******/53/******/
   html/wp-includes/class-phpass.php on line 139
 * Have searched high and low for a solution. Nothing on Google etc.
 * My hosts say it’s a plugin playing up and a WordPress fault.
 * This makes sense on the one hand because the error cites a WP file/line. looking
   at the file and line, there is a message saying the offending code snippet is
   something of a “cheat”. This may be irrelevant.
 * In any case it cripples the site constantly.
 * On the other hand the WP part of the site runs very quickly otherwise.
 * Can Anyone shed light; perhaps an WP developer?
 * tnx

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [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.

 * Performing the exercise of deactivating all plugins.
 * Is there not a danger that data will be lost?

 * Most decent plugins will retain their settings as long as you do not delete them.
