Its no use – been trying for half an hour to get into my Admin. It keeps coming up with the error message

Left a message for support at 123.reg (the hosting). Impossible to talk to them so will have to wait for their reply…

What does the error message actually mean? is there a problem with the hosting?

I’ve been reading
https://www.sparringmind.com/speed-up-wordpress/
And despite the fact i know the blogger is getting an affiliate payment for it – it looks tempting to move to a specialist WP host. Its going to be a serious business site so i can’t afford any more f ups or slow speed, thousands ￡￡￡ marketing is beginning from monday to drive people to the site…

Anyway at present i am completely locked out and feeling pretty powerless…

How would i go about getting an english-language speaking wordpress expert, to take over these issues for me and be on call to sort things out? Where’s the best place to look for this? budget is limited – its all spent on upcoming marketing…

thanks – will try that as soon as i can get into WP admin. at the moment i am getting the 500 error message again. seems to work slow, error message, work slow, error message… frustrating as hell

thanks again WPRanger for stepping into the breach… ??

I logged back out of WP admin and back in again – this is what i got:

Got this last night but never had the chance to copy it. WP worked shortly after.

ah great that did the trick. took me a while to figure out… the only problem is the font size is massive. i guess thats to do with underlying stylesheet

i won;t mess around with that (!!!) – to much for me. But i will try to get the guy who designed the theme for me to adjust it. but at least its working for now.

Thanks so much for your help both of you – will mark this as resolved!

WPRanger – thanks for all your help. I will bear that in mind. Didn’t realise that Word was a …. dirty word.!!!
Still not confident enough to be messing around with code…

Danny – have downloaded ‘lite’. You can see the result on https://www.thepropertyplan.co.uk. Its functional but looks poor as its just your basic option. Again – i don’t have the confidence to be messing around with code to make something nicer looking. Ideally i want the font much small, and another box for ‘first name’.

I ‘would’ sign up for Pro version, but i only need to signup forms. 35$ seems a bit expensive for my limited needs at the moment. Can you help me cut and paste a simple form that would suit the page link i gave you? i would be very grateful.

OK – have deactivated it. but there are two pages where i need a very basic mailchimp opt in form – the splash page and

both are now showing a dead link.

There are a few plugins on wordpress. Not sure what to go for. maybe mailchimp for WP lite? need the ‘widget’ one to make it show up on splash page, and a shortcode for the other page…

One idea if you anyone is feeling SUPER helpful. what about just editing the mailchimp plugin, and send me a word doc? i cut just cut and paste it and reload mine???

i don’t know where to go from here; all a bit new for me.

hmmm. no idea what to do here. I can find the mailchimp.php file but cannot locate the bit in question (sorry, thick irishman here).

i am not sure i would know what to do next…

been trying to go on that website. loading forever. kind of ironic really! ??

what do you think on the number of plugins – is this an issue? is there such a thing as ‘too many’ plugins???

Suppose its all relative but at first glance do you think i am overdoing it?

Appreciate your comments will look into that (looks a bit too techy for me though).

Hi

After reading some other posts – tried disabled and reactivating a few plugins and seen the difference.

Even using WP admin is so SLOW.

But since i deactivated the Hello! Bar plugin, sites seems to be running faster. Hopefully this was the problem. Shame, i liked it.

I will report back if it slows up again (it WAS like treacle, now more like… honey).

If anyone has taken a look at this post / my site and can spot anything else obviously wrong, please let me know. But at least the site is workable now, but still too slow.
