Hi,

1. Could you go to Downloads > Tools > System Info and paste the contents here?

2. In your web folders, can you show me the contents of the .htaccess file in the root web folder, in the wp-content folder if one exists, and in the wp-content/uploads folder if one exists. You can paste the contents on pastebin.com if you like to make them easier to read.

Glad to hear you got it fixed up. Thanks for the update.

This should work:

<h1 class="site-title"><a href="http://yoursite.com" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>

Which theme are you using?

Hi there,

What you’re looking to do isn’t a small request. 🙂

I don’t know of any plugins that do it currently, though there very well could be.

What you need is to fetch the posts for the requested category using an ajax request, build the post markup, and insert them into the DOM, replacing the HTML already in a particular container.

I just built something like this for an upcoming theme, and here’s a screencast of how this particular implementation works: http://cl.ly/0h2H1E041A2e

To do the above, I first check to see if the feature is enabled that allows for category links in the menu to be turned into a ‘mega menu’ of sorts. If it is, I filter the menu item markup to add some attributes and classes I can use to intercept the clicks with javascript so they page doesn’t reload to the full category archives.

Then I kick off an ajax request that fetches the latest 6 posts from the requested category, build the HTML markup for it, JSON encode it, return it to the javascript call so I can insert the new HTML into the container, replacing what is already there.

As you can see it’s not something you can just enable. I can share some of the code I did here once I’ve ironed it all out, and you customize it to fit your use case. Otherwise maybe you can find a plugin to help.

Hi there,

When you deactivated all plugins and switched themes, did you do it all at the same time, so that ALL you’re running is the stock Twenty Fifteen theme?

It’s working for me right now, no problems. Some web hosts use networked file systems, which means the files your site loads are pulled from another server. If your host uses that and they’re having connection problems between the servers, that could be the cause. It’s really hard to say because it could be a bunch of different things. With it only happening sometimes, it sounds like something like I described, but only the host will be able to answer that for sure.

Hi, you can disable the theme by logging into your site via FTP and going into the wp-content/themes folder, and renaming the theme folder. This will force WordPress to deactivate the theme and fall back to the default theme installed.

If you’re not comfortable using FTP, you can ask your host to rename the folder for you.
