[resolved] Posted Google video, now blog is dead. (4 posts)

    I added a google video html embed code to my post, hit the post button and now my entire blog simply won't load. The browser comes up blank. Even when I try the direct url to get to wp-admin, I get nothing.

    What should I do?

    I tried going directly into the admin so I could manage posts and delete the post or edit it, but I can't even get to the admin page. My browser comes up blank with any url. Is there a 'safe mode' I could use or something to edit that googlevideo post and delete the video code?

    [link to my blog]

    I'm using the latest and greatest wordpress 2.1.2
    I thought it was stable, but... :S

    Strange...

    This is what I got on trying to open/validate your page:

    500 Server closed connection without sending any data back

    First, try to open your MySQL database via your hosting's control panel (phpMyAdmin?). Try to browse from there to your post with the google video - check if all is ok there. If needed, try to remove manually the embed html from the post...

    More experience users may contribute more...

    I know I once messed with the "where is your blog installed option" in WP/Options and restored things by editing one field in the MySQL where were the wrong settings stored. But I'll say it again - it depends.

    Just try to open it and see how things with that post look from the "inside". Check FTP also, see if all files and folders are there, just in case - but I guess, they are there, just something else is wrong..

    (
    I also tried to see what happens if I want to open a certain admin page in WordPress - like:
    http://www.cinemazement.com/blog/wp-admin/options.php
    Well, after some time, Firefox asks "do you want to save this PHP file?". Hmmmmmmm... Very strange.
    )

    OK, that's for now what I can think about... Hope someone with more skills in that can contribute more:)

    thank you lelion for all the help. Idk what it was but it's working now without having done anything to it. I wonder if it might have been that my site went down immediately after hitting the post button. I normally use the anarchy media player, but didn't have it installed and figured I'd give the embed code a shot. All is well.
