  • Did your hoster make a MySQL Server update?

    No, my site is only used to host WordPress. I have not made any administrative changes/updates to the underlying site in months, maybe years.

    The MySQL server on my site says it has been running continuously for 48 days – so it doesn’t seem like the problem that started after 8/31 could be from a change to the MySQL server on my site.

    or is PHP update or mysql client liberyes?
