In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionBut if he is cleaning his database, then that is getting rid of those revisions and so there shouldn’t be a problem there. But I’ve had this issue with a much smaller database, not sure about size but the site is at 1,951 posts. We clean out our revisions all the time.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionDear lord I would love this to be addressed because yes, I’ve had the same issue as you and I get the same blame game. Everybody points to the other person.

In reply to: Google Penguin hits me really hard :(Our site has also been receiving a drastic drop in traffic

In reply to: Website traffic has tanked. Is it technical?Hi Daniel, thanks a lot for the comments. I’m actually not entirely sure what kind of traffic was lost as we’ve just recently implemented Google Analytics to track that. To give you an idea, we hovered around 1200-1500 a day where now we are around 500-700 a day. If you look at the following chart and change things to a month view, you will get a real sense of the drop:

For our SEO measures, we’ve been using Yoast WordPress SEO as our plugin. It’s interesting that you note the spam issue because our site used to get a ton of spam from other sites that seemed as if they had nothing to do with our content and somehow were just incoming links. Right around that time is when I implemented the Akistmet plugin and some other measures to reduce that junk.
I can note that a big driver of traffic for our site used to be Stumblupon and now, using the same methods as before, we get maybe 25-50 hits a day where previous, we received upwards of a few hundred.

In reply to: Activate PingbackHey there, thanks for the reply. I’m not entirely sure what you mean by this. Within articles I have, they do indeed link to other articles I’ve written so from there, how can I check if the pingback is working?

In reply to: Error: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header()But let me ask you this Richard, it’s obviously saying there is an issue with line 1. When I check the theme file that I would be basically uploading again, the line 1 is identical so is there a point to uploading the theme again? (Reason I’m hesitant is that I modified some of the code months ago so different colors appear for menus and what not and don’t want to go through and redo that, if it’s all in vain).
Thank you ATIpro
Stupid question but where is the “PgCacheAdmin.php”?

In reply to: RewriteCond: NoCase option for non-regex pattern '-fChecked with BlueHost, in their Main error_log section, if it’s not highlighted in red, then it is not related to you and is related to another site on the server. Good to know this!

In reply to: RewriteCond: NoCase option for non-regex pattern '-fWell I’ve read else place that because we all share servers (BlueHost), that it could be a error from someone which is stupid. Not sure why it should show up for me and if it does, you would assume that it should somehow notify you yea?
But in all honesty, I don’t know. My site a few days ago started throttling like crazy so I’m trying to knock out every bug that I see. For all I know, this was there for the past year too, but I had never checked before.

In reply to: RewriteCond: NoCase option for non-regex pattern '-fNope. I read somewhere to change things to the following:
1 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f 2 3 RewriteRule "." - [skip=100] 4 5 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d 6 7 RewriteRule "." - [skip=100]
And I’ve done this yet I still get the same error…

In reply to: Turn Comments Completely OffAhhh yes. And here is the issue with turning off comments with the above method, although Disqus still works, the little bubble that appears on the main page with the comment count, displays “Comments Off” now.
I’ll try the:
http
www
ftp
urlMethod and see what arises from this.

In reply to: Turn Comments Completely OffThank you for your reply Swanson. Here is the issue and I will indeed apply that, I only want Disqus as my commenting, which is exactly what I have. I go in a blog post and only Disqus appears.
However, when I check with WordPress, even though I have the comments and pingback turned off, I get a ton of “junk” incoming links.
So I will indeed apply what you have just mentioned, but I’m not sure if this will address this issue or not.
