• I have been unable to edit my website for two weeks and cannot get a response to my plea for help on this forum under troubleshooting. Can someone tell me how to try to install an earlier version of wordpress to see if that will help me solve my problem?

  • Hi geraldisaacs,

    Would you be able to provide us with a little bit more information in order for us to help you.

    Do you receive any errors messages?
    Can you login to your wp-admin section?

    Kind regards
    Jamie

    Jamie:

    My website (sbranch.org) is fully functional except that I cannot edit any page. I can log into wp-admin. When I click on ‘all pages’, I get a 101 error from chrome (Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.). I get a similar error from internet explorer (Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage). Firefox reports an that the connection was reset. I have removed all plugins except akismet. If I deactivate akismet I see the same problem. I have tried most or all of the alternate themes and that does not resolve the issue. I have flushed my browser cache. I have reinstalled wordpress manually and that does not help. I have tried using another computer on my network – same problem. I am able to edit my other wordpress 3.5.1 website from these computers without a problem. I have tried adding various lines to wp-config.php that I saw as suggestions on your forum. That did not help so I have restored my original file). Godaddy confirms that there is not a server problem and that my only recourse is to seek help from wordpress. I have not checked all 5000+ pages, but I have tried to edit several of them by clicking on ‘edit this’ after going to a page, and I have not found any page that I am able to access for editing without encountering the abovementioned timeout error. I have occasionally seen other chrome errors (maybe error 103?)

    When I first noticed the problem, it seemed that I could edit my main page, but not other pages. On one occasion a few days ago I managed to get to a list of pages from sbranch.org/wordpress/wp-admin but could not edit them. I was able to send one (expendable) page to trash. I suppose I would have been able to continue to remove additional pages at will, but not edit them. I do not know how I managed to get past the error on that occasion.

    Thank you for considering my plight.

    Update

    One of those miraculous windows of opportunity just occurred and I managed to get through to edit my main page without a timeout 101. So I added a link to the page for Hotchkiss Mate-in-one Puzzles and loaded it. But now I am back to the same old problem and I cannot correct the error that I made in the title for my new link. It seems that I can get through and edit my main page maybe once in a hundred attempts or so. I have not been able to edit any other page in the last couple weeks or so.

    I have now verified that the problem exists if I try to access and edit the website from a computer that is not on my home network.

    My conclusions:
    The problem is not because of plug-ins.
    It is not specific to my network or computer.
    It is not theme-related.
    It is not a corrupt WP 3.5.1 installation.

    Can anyone suggest any way for me to regain edit functionality?

    Where is your site hosted?

    I have no idea where my host server is. My webhost is Godaddy, as I indicated above.

    If push comes to shove and I cannot make this site functional (no luck yet after almost three weeks of struggle), can someone advise me of the practicality of purchasing a basic inexpensive website template and converting my site to a non-wordpress site. I am not interested in any kind of blogging and posting activity, and I now have several years of basic html familiarity. All I want is an informational site where I have full control.
