Cannot edit website

    AS I reported more than a week ago in troubleshooting, I have been unable to edit my website (sbranch.org) for more than three weeks now and cannot get any further responses to my plea for help on this forum under troubleshooting. Accordingly, I have begun to attempt to rebuild some site functionality outside the wordpress umbrella (i.e., by creating php pages and putting them in my root directory that containst the wordpress directory). Is there any chance that I may be able to edit my site in the future when a new wordpress rev comes out? I believe that the problem started the last time I “upgraded” to the new version.

    I really regret that I have no edit access to more than 5000 pages on my website.

    Any help would still be appreciated, but I have pretty much given up hope. If anyone knows of another forum where I can plea for help, please let me know.

    I think the Starbucks experiment ruled out most problems.

    First the database. In the interface you have at GoDaddy there should be something showing database or MySQL – something of that sort. When you click on that there should be an option to manage back-ups or something to that effect. If not search the FAQ’s and find out how to back it up. You always want to have a current database backup.

    You also have wp tools where you can export a file that contains basically your entire site.

    In researching your error message I tried a couple of things. I pinged your site ping -f -l 1500 sbranch.org and found transmission problems but the 1500 number was a educated guess.

    From the command prompt enter netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces and check the MTU value. Whatever the number, from the cmd prompt enter ping -f -l yournumbergoeshere sbranch.org

    If the results show a loss let me know. If not, back to square 1.

    I also pinged it with 1468 and got no data loss (the one above was 100% loss). The link I got this from is http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-set-and-change-mtu-in-windows-7-or-vista/

    Yeah, I know I am way out in left field with the lights turned out but it seems many people get this error, Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset. including those with no WordPress.

    100% loss. Check the link above on how to change mtu to 1468.

    ping -f -l 1468 sbranch.org

    yields 100% loss

    I slowed all four interfaces down to 1400 and rebooted and verified that all were at 1400, but the problem persists. I cannot edit because I always get a chrome 101 or 103 error.

    I just pinged you at 1400 and 1468 with 100% success. But I am not sure that this has anything to do with your problem. Do you get the same error message using IE and FF?

    clicking on “files” and then “all files”

    I don’t have a “files” on my dashboard but that could be a theme thing I guess.

    Not much more I can suggest along with what others have said. Most of the time the normal debug, disable plugins and change theme finds most of the problems. On the backend troubles are almost always javascript problems or a missing/corrupted file(s).

    I have uninstalled and and reinstalled wordpress automatically and manually, to no avail. I need to admit that the search for a solution is beyond hope. I will continue to rebuild my website to the point that I can abandon wordpress altogether. Right now I am trying to learn how to work with php, struggling with trying to enable it to find files in various folders (include and path concepts).

    Thanks for your suggestions.
