In reply to: 43,000 categories to deleteBrain is waking up, and your comments and writing about this led to this question:
Since the process in the Administrative panel works but times out, how might I set limits to prevent the gateway timeout?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 43,000 categories to deleteYour points are definitely salient. Yes, I changed the number of categories per page (you can set up to 999 per page) but the process of deleting errors out at any more than 10 per page. And yes, looking into what created them in the first place is essential. Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll take a look at Bulk Category plugin.
I’m wondering if I need to set the maximum time out somewhere to avoid the gateway timeout?

In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All Posts1. Ok I am mistaken about the backend install. Their recommendation from Pagelines was from the dashboard. My error.
2. When I tried to change themes during this debugging process I chose a different theme and doing so made the site unworkable. No dashboard, no site, no ability to login. Thus I’ve been doing everything EXCEPT changing the theme to see if there were other issues first.
3. Vaultpress can only restore a backup if you have a working wordpress installation. Otherwise you have to download the backup from Vaultpress and do a manual restore.
4. The role is administrator.Thanks for your comments. Its all good. Still not fixed. But I’m going to try to install a new version of the theme. I will attempt to change the theme to twenty thirteen and then attempt to install a fresh download of the Pagelines theme. It may blow up again when I try to change the theme, but if so, I will manually restore again from a backup.

In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsYes, it is possible, according to the Pagelines team. But first I have to try to change to twenty thirteen. It may blow the site apart again, but as part of the process I would be replacing the old theme with a new download via ftp. I’m hesitant because of the work involved restoring manually, but I’m still going to try: making sure all plugins are deactivated, changing the theme, then via ftp deleting the old theme and uploading a new copy; then hopefully being able to reactivate from my dashboard if I can get to it. If not, then I will have to restore manually and start over again. I realize that changing a theme should not destroy anything. But what happened was the dashboard disappeared and the wordpress installation became non-functioning (e.g. Vaultpress could not restore my backup because the installation was not working). Thank you. And with everyone’s help I this site will be fixed! I just checked with the Host and memory settings are ok.

In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsRight. I still haven’t done that. Thanks for the encouragement. Last time I tried changing the theme at this website, I had to restore the site manually because that action broke everything. So I have been working through everything else first to be sure the settings are ok over at the host (opened a ticket); Got the info I needed to restore this pro theme once it is deleted. So yes, since there seems to be nothing else I can do, I should be sure I have a valid backup and then switch themes to thewtythirteen. Thanks for your persistence Scott.

In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsWith all of the plugins deactivated I tried to delete a post by coming in through the front. I was able to get a post to come into the edit screen (without any text to edit in the edit window, however)
When I made a request to move it into the trash, got this error message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 76 bytes) in /var/www/vhosts/ShopSOS.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/cache.php on line 570
I’ve allocated 512M memory for php at the Host. I’m not sure where to go next.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsOK, I set the memory allocation for PHP to 512M; thanks esmi
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsThanks for the clarification, Scott. And thanks for the link esmi.
I manually set the Php memory at my host to 64MB. Now I should include the following in my wp-config.php file?
‘define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
‘Then be sure that all of the plugins are disabled and see if the problem goes away?

In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsScott, yes, when I reinstalled everything, there were some plugins I failed to disable. Thanks for the reminder.
You also wrote: If you look at your source code, in <head>, you can see that SOMETHING is redirecting your feed. It might be worth looking in the database for anything related to ‘feedburner’.
Do you run phpmyadmin?Yes, I am familiar with phpmyadmin at my host. I actually dropped a couple of tables this morning that were left over from a plugin that I deleted.
I believe that the feeds for this site are managed by Feedblitz.

In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsHurrah. I got an error message when I went to edit.php
This was displayed in the browser window:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 524288 bytes) in /var/www/vhosts/ShopSOS.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1242
I think that is the first time I was excited about getting an error message! OK if its a memory allocation problem can you help me with this, or point me to some information?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsI did get an error message in the log file, however, that I had seen before:
Undefined index: HTTP_ACCEPT in /var/www/vhosts/ShopSOS.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wpmbytplayer/mbYTPlayer.php on line 21

In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsI set the display section of the debug code this way:
‘
‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true
‘I didn’t see anything on the site from loading site pages, nor from the dashboard (e.g. loading edit.php) (shopshos.com)

In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsI chose another Pagelines related theme. Now, after spending hours manually restoring the site because it crashed my installation, I’m a little paranoid about changing themes. I am suspecting that there may be a problem with the theme, however, since there are no errors being logged but I still have the same problem. I have requested assistance at Pagelines.
I did not enable debug node to show messages in the browser. Rather I used the example in the Codex which hides the browser results, but logs the errors to the debug.log file; i.e. “The following code, inserted in your wp-config.php file, will log all errors notices and warnings to a file called debug.log in the wp-content directory. It will also hide the errors so they do not interrupt page generation.”
So your suggestion is to enable debug in the config file allowing the errors to be created live on-site. I can do that. And will. Thanks.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsAt present, no errors are reported in the debug log. Still have the same problem of edit.php not loading (view All Posts).
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp-admin/edit.php leads to blank page not All PostsStill have issues at Shopsos.com
Taking the next step, I tried to change themes from Pagelines Framework 2.44. When I activated the alternate theme, the site completely disappeared. All white. Could not log in to admin, the website itself would not load. So I manually restored a backup, because Vaultpress needs a working wordpress installation to restore a backup.
What I’ve done:
1. Used debug to identify errors
2. Disabled all plugins
3. Deleted plugins that showed errors in debug
4. Optimized and repaired the database Myphp Admin at the host.
5. Reset permalinks
6. I’ve also placed new wp-admin and wp-includes folders.The general problem that I’m trying to fix is that edit.php does not load All Posts from the dashboard. It leads to a white screen.
I have not been able to change the theme to see if it is the problem and I’m not sure how I would do that since changing the theme destroys the website and dashboard.
Would it be possible to reinstall the theme on the back end with an upload?
I’m sure I’m missing something. Just don’t know what I’m missing. All I can think to do now, is to repeat what I’ve already done to see if I’ve missed something. Any other ideas or approaches would be most appreciated. Thanks.
