Fatal Error: Maximum execution time…

    I have looked through the forums and searched for this type of error. I found a lot of threads, all of which seemed to be old and closed to new posts, and none of which seemed to have an answer to our specific problem, so I’m starting a new one. When we launched our website (in late July) the blog worked fine. But more and more often lately when we try to do one thing or another we get the dreaded:
    Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\Hosting\#######\html\wordpress\ …(etc.)
    That much of the error message is always the same, but after that, it reads many different ‘locations’ – for example:

    • wp-admin\includes\file.php on line 11
    • wp-includes\kses.php on line 39
    • wp-content\plugins\jetpack\modules\shortcodes\slideshare.php on line 7
    • wp-admin\includes\post.php on line 21

    Those four were all when I was repeatedly trying to reach the dashboard. Other times it may be following a link to a blog post, or a link to manage comments. I haven’t found a rhyme or reason to where it happens or where it indicates the problem is (though about half of the ones I’ve documented seem to involve jetpack). Occasionally the error message isn’t by itself, but inserted on whatever page I’m trying to reach, partway down (with the rest of the page missing).

    We’re using WordPress 3.2.1 with the theme Twenty Ten, and the only modifications I’ve made have been in appearance through the CSS, plus specific links in the menu of the blog to other pages on the website (the rest of which is in html). Those links were made using the editor on the dashboard. The address directly to the blog is http://herfinalyear.com/wordpress/

    Do you have any idea what we can do to keep this from happening?

    Does your server set up allow for the use of a php.ini file? If so create a blank file in Notepad, save as php.ini

    In the file put:

    max_execution_time = 60
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 64M

    Place in your root WordPress install.
    Increase the numbers if you continue to have problems.

    I’ve seen other issues similar to this caused by Jetpack. I’ve also seen some negative reviews on it, but I have no experience with it. But it could be the culprit.

    Well, that didn’t help at all. Anyone have any other suggestions? I can’t seem to get into the wordpress part of my site at all today. I was going to try to yank jetpack but can’t do it if I can’t even get in!

    did any body found a solution on that?
    yesterday i tryed to upload 25 buttons at a side bar with 4 levels each..
    at the beggining everything was going fine ..
    then the more uploads i did , the most of the time it took until i got
    that error.
    im using twenty eleven and i tried first a simple way
    i added set_time_limit(200) to wp-config.php
    because the error comes basicaly from the time limit..
    .it worked but when i refreshed i got an extra error probably from
    a conflict with the header php..
    i found this code and add it to .htaccess file

    php_value max_input_time 200
    php_value post_max_size 20M
    php_value max_execution_time 200
    php_value upload_max_filesize 15M

    stiil takes time (about 1,5 min) but at least it works!!
