What is really funny is that I received email notification of receiving comments two hours ago. So I know that the database was working fine then, and I have not even logged into the site since.
Does anybody know what could have happened?
Thanks,
Wade
Temporary DB glitch? Your ISP may have fixed something without mentioning it.
Thanks for the response. I think you could be on to something. My ISP has been doing some fiddling with my files lately — they say that I am using up to much of the server resources on a VPS. We have been having other similar issues, and when I call my host their tech people can fix them, but, mysteriously, nobody can tell me why things are glitching.
I was just wondering if anybody else has had some similar problems.
Thank you for your help.

they say that I am using up to much of the server resources on a VPS.
Uuuugh. Been there. And yeah, server resources totally could cause that weirdness.
I would suggest turning on a caching plugin. And since you’re VPS, there is some optimization you can do to make your server run better for WP.
Reading list!

Also, I use APC (alternative PHP cache) on my server and it helps alot. Except when I get hammered by spammers.
I have just talked to the tech support at my hosting company for over an hour this morning about this, and they say they can’t do anything.
No clue.
Funny that the site works fine one day and the next it doesn’t.
Thanks for these links, I really appreciate your help!
