connection errors

  • Hi,
    I’ve been using WordPress trouble free for about 4 years now and it been great however I have encountered an issue.

    Around Wednesday this week I got a lot of spam on the comments of some posts. As I use Akismet to manage spam I logged into my dashboard to see what was going on but Akismet complained about firewall settings and it couldnt connect. I also noticed that jetpack also flagged an error up saying “register_http_request_failed”. As well as these two problems I also noticed on the main dashboard page that there were a couple if RSS errors and can no longer search for plugins via the dashboard.

    I’m very inexperienced when it comes to website issues and I am completely out of ideas.
    I’ve tried disabling/removing plugins and repairing the database but neither has made any difference.

    Hope someone can help me
    Jon

    Ah sorry, I should have stated. My site is hosted by servage.net.
    I’ve been in touch with servage but they say it’s not a problem on their side and to contact WordPress support.
    They did state however that if I need any server settings changed then to contact them.

    Thank you for your reply.
