What do you mean?

Hi George,

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately this did not work :(. Links stopped working since they edited some things from the Theme’s support and I can’t get it to work again now.

managed by hiding navbar-header

Some things I’ve noticed.

I’ve created an exact same stage site on https://49k.986.myftpupload.com/ and everything works fine.

I’ve transferred the staging site to the production site and the error still persists. – Does this make sense?

If I try this on inewsmalta.com I get some 503 erros. I don’t get any with https://www.inewsmalta.com. Staging site works perfectly as well.

Could this be from the htaccess file since www is working perfectly? The site should always redirect to www itself – my htaccess file includes the following:

# BEGIN GD-SSL
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^(.+)$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^www\.inewsmalta\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^qj2\.41d\.myftpupload\.com$
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Header add Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=300"
Header always set Content-Security-Policy "upgrade-insecure-requests"
</IfModule>
# END GD-SSL

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
RewriteEngine On

Thanks for reaching out. I’m happy to say that it’s a false alarm as the problem occurred again. So sorry to have mentioned you in the first place.

Great – will do so!

Thanks

Found the culprit. Its the Advanced Ads Tracking plugin. Any ideas how to fix this without actually deleting the plugin? Or a workaround?

So I managed to disable all plugins and the site worked perfectly.

I am now checking it on https://www.host-tracker.com/v3/check/1/a17c7b03-88c7-4e64-a390-588600025bd9

If I check https://www.inewsmalta.com everything turns out ok, however if I check inewsmalta.com (without www) some 503 errors occur. Does that make sense?

I’ve noticed that WordPress was automatically updated on 06/04.

In troubleshooting mode, one of the plugins gave some errors. Could a downgrade in WP be an option?

Still same issue. Trying diagnostic tools on https://www.host-tracker.com/v3/check/1/f052ad3c-9ee3-4fc0-b8b2-7d32873756bf

One of the problems seems to be Wordfence, as you said.

Disabling it at first solved the problem. Enabling it again means the problem reappeared. Disabling its Firewall did not work, but putting it in Learning Mode worked. Makes sense?

I’ve sent a request to the hosting provider. I’ve also tried deactivating wordfence by the problem persists.

The thing is.. if I try connecting via VPN it will never load and gives the error every time
