Timeout on Image Upload

  • Ever since upgrading to 3.0.3 (at the same time I moved to a new server too, so I’m not sure which one is causing the issue), I’m having several issues. When I try to update my website, it often times out and I cannot access any part of the site until reseting my modem to get myself a new ip. I’m assuming it bans my ip for some reason, as I can only view the site with a new address, and everyone else can view it while it wont load for me with the old ip. It happens VERY often, and 99.99% of the time while uploading images. The images are no bigger than 100KB though so I dont think it’s about image size. My host said they checked the server logs and didnt see any banned ips on the log. Also, the other admin who lives in Spain is not experiencing such issues while updating. But it keeps banning me from the site, I tried both at home & the office and I got the same result. If anyone can help me out, that would be just awesome. Thanks in advance.

  • Have you tried a different browser? Is work/home on different ISP’s? Does switching themes help?

    The fact you’ve tried on 2 different environments (at home and work) with the same result but your friend in Spain has no problems is odd.

    before doing any of this Please backup your wordpress install and database
    try re-uploading the wordpress files for 3.0.3

    Turns out it IS about the host. It started to happen to the other admin @ Spain too. I have been emailing them saying their server was banning my IP, and they kept saying according to their records, no IP was banned. Yesterday they emailed me saying “we have found out that our server is banning your IP”. And then they went into the wp admin panel and disactivated all my plugins – without even consulting me. I told them to fix this asap, and since 28 hours, I didnt hear a single reply from them and I sent 6 emails. I heard they were good but this was THE WORST VPS host I’ve ever seen. Long story short: myhosting.com sucks big time – do not ever go near them.
