    I have been having problems off and on for almost 2 weeks now, and it’s getting to a point that it is greatly affecting my productivity. The good news is: Everything on the OUTSIDE looks fine. People can access my site without any problems. The problem lies in the Admin panel. I can access my Admin Dashboard just fine. Again, no problems. Once I’m in there, though, I can’t get much of it to work. It’s like it doesn’t connect to WordPress at all because the WordPress feeds like the WordPress Blog and WordPress News just say Loading… Jetpack will not respond, either.

    I have done everything I could before finally coming here – disabling all plug-ins, calling my host to verify it’s not on their end, reverting back to the default, clearing the cache in my browser, using different browsers, using my iPad, using a different computer, etc. Once in a while it seems to be resolved, but then it reverts right back despite not having changed anything at that point. If I try to post when this is happening it will act like it’s posting then bring me back to a blank post and all my work is lost. Sometimes it will appear as if it is connected and working fine, but I always check by clicking on the “Visual” tab. If it doesn’t let me see the visual then I know it’s going to mess up if I try to post. I can also click “Preview,” and instead of showing me a preview it will give me a 404 because as far as everything is concerned I guess that post doesn’t exist at all since it’s not going to post.

    My only hope at that point is to post from my iPad or iPhone WordPress App (not the actual WordPress site – but the app). Even that isn’t foolproof, though.

    As I said, I have called my host and had them walk through some things with me, I’ve tried reverting back to square one, I’ve tried to have “computer savvy” people help me, and everyone is at a loss. I really need for this to be fixed so I can be more productive on my site again! Please help!! :/

    I’ve talked to 2 more IT people, and they can’t help me, either. I’m really at a loss and really need help.

    I don’t see this as a theme problem and it looks like you’ve ruled out other problems. Are you on GoDaddy? They’re well known to be a very problematic host. All you can do is open a ticket with them and lean on them to fix your server. Or, find a new host: See Recommended WordPress Web Hosting

    It’s an affiliate of GoDaddy, so basically the same thing, but I called and talked to them, and he walked through everything to discover it’s not on their end. I was on the phone with him for quite a while.

    What exactly do you mean by “an affiliate of GoDaddy”? If you’ve deactivated all plugins and switched to twentytwelve and the site still doesn’t work and doesn’t save posts and 404’s, It’s GoDaddy. They will deny it, but it is them. Search these forums for GoDaddy and you’ll see.

    Rob3Domains is my actual host, but it’s the same setup and support number as GoDaddy. So if I change hosting how does that affect my current website? Does it affect anything like my Alexa Score, PageRank, etc.? Or can you smoothly change hosts?

    Rob3Domains? Never heard of them. But DNS shows they are a reseller of GoDaddy. You won’t loose page rank since you’re staying with the same domain.

    See Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex. Bluehost is very good.

    If you can’t do the work yourself, consider looking for a reputable person to fix it correctly on jobs.wordpress.net or freelancing sites such as Elance. (It’s not a good idea to respond to unsolicited emails from forum users offering to work for you.)

    Well, I’m talking to my hosting again, and what they’re saying makes sense to me. My site works. The WordPress functions don’t work, so it can’t be a hosting issue. That makes sense to me. I do believe they’re not the best host, but I do also believe this isn’t a hosting issue.

    Issue resolved. After doing more research I found a similar thread about losing the Visual Editor, and it mentioned a Plug-in called “Use Google Libraries.” I installed and activated this plug-in, and it fixed all of my issues.

    It’s like it doesn’t connect to WordPress at all because the WordPress feeds like the WordPress Blog and WordPress News just say Loading… Jetpack will not respond, either.

    That’s a network latency issue at the host.

    Use Google Libraries plugin is not a fix; it temporarily fixes a possible jquery conflict by loading the library in no conflict mode.

    And your page load time is 27 seconds; that’s an incredibly slow host.
