  • If its intermittent throughout the day, its generally not your website itself. This issue is going to be due to your web hosting provider. Since it is intermittent, its hard to track and prove that its due to the server because when you call in, “everything looks fine”. I recommend moving hosting providers to something a bit more reliable. If you need steps or help with moving, just let me know.

    Typically it would be in your wp dash under settings > media

    The above suggestion is a good step to speeding up your website. Typically, slow sites are due to plugins or themes. Disabling 1 by 1 and then testing can help find out which one is causing the issue.

    Another good plugin to install is a3 Lazy Load. This plugin will have images load only when you scroll to the specific section of the page they are on as opposed to loading it all at once on the initial load, helping your site to load faster.

    There isn’t much that can be done to stop the attempts, just make it less appealing for those users. Be sure to keep everything up to date and continue to do what you’re doing. If you want to go a step further, I believe Securi offers firewall services that will help with this and SiteLock offers a malware scan/removal tool to help any successful hacks.

    Usually this is do to mod security, basically your host’s server blocking you because you seem to be malicious. This can be triggered by repeated posts/updates, a file that contains malware that then blocks your ip, etc. You’ll want to contact them to be sure this isn’t the case.

    So the first thing you’ll want to check is the upload path in your settings. Be sure the absolute path isn’t set from your old host and that it is only ‘wp-content/uploads’ (without the apostrophes.) Typically, this is the main cause of this.

    You can create a css class for the form itself and have the css be

    form { margin: 0 auto; }

    I’m not sure if they just use a shortcode, however. If this is the case, you adding a div tag may be a workaround. For example:

    <div style=”margin: 0 auto; width: 400px;”>
    [shortcode]
    </div>

    If you were using their managed wordpress product, then you likely copied over the mu-plugins folder found directly in wp-content/mu-plugin. This holds their internal plugins used for single sign on, caching, etc. Just ftp in and remove this folder and you should be all set.

    Does this only occur when uploading the extension .ico or does the error occur when you upload any file type?

    You’ll first want to start with the basic troubleshooting steps; disable plugins, switch to a default theme, etc. Also make sure your upload path is set to wp-content/uploads.

    Giving up your domain name does not automatically give up control of the website itself. If it is a self hosted website, generally there are files and databases that would need to be given to the new owner.

    If you can’t gain access to the website itself, you may want to contact your hosting provider for assistance. If it is a self hosted site and you still have access to the hosting account itself, there are a number of ways to reset the login so you can gain access again.
