In reply to: Cannot upload imagesUPDATE: I finally heard back from my hosting provider tech support.
To recap: When they contacted me letting me know the problem was fixed. I responded asking them if they could explain what caused the problem.
Their response was literally a one line email that said the following:
“Somehow the directory permissions were changed causing the problem.”
Well, alright. I suppose not much detail is needed beyond that.
In conclusion: If you are reading this and you had the same problem as I did and you’ve tried everything I tried, then check the permissions settings on your directories to see if it is what it should be.
Hope this can help others!

In reply to: Cannot upload imagesUPDATE: After waiting entirely too long. My hosting service provider fixed the problem.
Though they did not say what caused the problem or what they had to do to fix it.
I sent off an email asking for this information and if/when I get that info I will post it here for posterity and then mark the thread as resolved.

In reply to: Cannot upload images– Check for errors/warnings in the browser console when uploading images.
– Enable (temporarily) logging of WordPress and PHP errors to a file. See https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/ for how-toI’ll be honest with you. Those steps are a bit above my skill level to do on my own without accidentally messing something up.
I tried doing it with a Debug plugin but from what I could tell, I could not see any errors pop up. That is if I was even looking in the right place.
– Are you using any non-standard image format?
Nope! Not using any non-standard image format. Just plain ol’ jpegs well within the file size and resolution limits.
– If you still have problems, then you could share a list of your installed plugins, etc. Under Tools → Health Check you can create one, and then post here. (Just check that you’re comfortable sharing the info.)
Can my plugin information be used to hack my site? If so then yeah I would rather not share it publicly. If not then I will follow up with that list

In reply to: Cannot upload imagesAnother update. I tried re-installing WordPress via the dashboard and that also did not work.

In reply to: Cannot upload imagesit’s an overly simple thing but have you tried reloading the page you’re uploading the image to after you get the error? bizarrely, this has worked for me on occasion…
Tried it. Didn’t work unfortunately.

In reply to: Permalinks not workingAfter combing through the page Tara linked me to once more I found that if I included “index.php” to a custom permalink structure and include the other elements I wanted such as this..
/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
The permalinks would work once again. Not the ideal way to do it but it will have to do for now. Thank you to everyone who helped me out with this issue!

In reply to: Permalinks not workingI have tried everything on that page that is within my ability and the problem still persists.
I will keep trying but if there are any other suggestions/ideas I am open to them

In reply to: Severe Traffic Drop After 4.1.1 UpdateUPDATE:OK, after doing some google digging I’ve figured out that there is some kind of problem with my permalinks. When I set them back to default the problem went away.
However, if I set the permalinks to anything except default all the posts will link to a 404 error.
When googling for answers the .htaccess file came up several times and people told me to plug in this code to the file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPressBut when I did, it cause the site to not come up at all so I removed the code.
Currently this is what is in my .htaccess file:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.cgi index.asp
I tried resetting the permalinks back to what I previously set them to and then started deactivating any recent plugin that I updated or installed to see if that would fix it but so far it did not.
So the main root of this problem is that something on my WordPress is making it so that if I use any permalink structure besides default it will return a 404 on any individual post clicked.
Open to suggestions on how to fix this. Also much thanks to Pioneer Valley Web Design for their help thus far on this issue.

In reply to: Severe Traffic Drop After 4.1.1 UpdateOK now there is a new problem and I think this may be what is causing the trouble. I just realized that while my site can be accessed, clicking on any of the individual posts returns a 404 error.
Could my theme being incompatible with WordPress 4.1.1 cause this?

In reply to: Severe Traffic Drop After 4.1.1 UpdateOf course, I should have included it in the first post.

I suppose I should also mention that besides the JetPack site stats I also have the Google Analytics by Yost plugin (v 5.3.2) and the Quantcast Quantifier plugin (v 1.5.2) installed.
