Pages not rendering despite Source completed

  • I’m far from a stranger to WordPress or the web, but I’ve never seen this issue before, and I’m really struggling with it.

    I have a WordPress install, with no plugins enabled (other than Akismet which I’ve tested with removed and isn’t the problem) and only very basic settings.

    Recently, a problem started:
    Quite frequently, when requesting a page, the page never renders. However, the Title changes the tab’s title and if I View Source, I get the full source code of the page through the </html>. The page, however, never renders in the browser.

    If I hold Shift and do a hard refresh, then I can get the page no problem. The problem occurs in all browsers.

    WP_Debug doesn’t give me any additional output.

    Requesting pages like robots.txt and my own test.php from the same place always load fine.

    Really stuck with this one.. any ideas where to look next??

  • Have you tried switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    Yes, sorry for not clarifying – this is with the Twenty Ten theme.

    Site url?

    Updates:
    The problem appears JavaScript related. It was only appearing on pages that had javascript enqueued.
    when I removed this from header.php…

    wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ );

    the problem went away.

    Furthermore, when i left it in there, and viewed the page source – i could NOT click the link to /wp-includes/js/comment-reply.js like i can normally with .css or .js files.

    Any ideas with the new info??

    More Updates:
    When i replace that wp_enqueue_script line with a hardcoded link to the comment-reply.js file (without ?ver…), everything works perfectly.

    This problem appears in FireFox only, and only for some. My student and I can replicate the problem whenever we want – my other coworker cannot make it happen at all.

    When i try to navigate to:
    mysite.com/wp-includes/js/comment-reply.js?ver=20090102 – we time out
    but
    mysite.com/wp-includes/js/comment-reply.js loads perfectly

    Disabling:
    browser.cache.disk.enable and browser.cache.memory.enable “solved” the problem for me.

    however – there’s obviously some kind of problem here, if i experienced the issue on multiple computers and my student did as well. any ideas on this??

    I can see your site without any obvious problem – although you are not using the Twenty Ten theme at all.

    @esmi: I changed it back after I *thought* I got it to work.

    This problem was actually some weird behavior of FireFox’s cache settings which I haven’t fully resolved. I can “fix” it by changing two of my firefox caching settings, but that’s obviously not ideal.

    For example, if I try to load:
    mysite.com/foo.js?ver=123

    it will load – but I can’t refresh it. If I try to refresh it, it hangs forever (as does any page that tries to include the script), until I hold shift+refresh.

    incredibly annoying and frustrating, and if you have tips I’d love to hear em. ??

    I did realize, however, that it has nothing to do with WordPress, but thanks much for trying to help!

    No problem.
