I,ve moved the whole Jetpack folder to my “disabled plugins” folder, and now I can access the site, but not without still getting every other page marked 500 internal error.
Hi,
It sounds like your files are not pointing to the folder you have set up for them. This usually happens if you migrate your site to a different URL or path, and the links are not updated in your table.
In such a case, this plugin should help if you can activate it successfully: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/
If you’ve changed themes as well, you need to regenerate your thumbnails or you’ll be missing critical image sizes on old posts. This plugin should help with that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-thumbnail-rebuild/
Beyond that, if it’s an intermittent problem that seems to randomly come up out of almost no where, check out this article. It might answer your question, or at the very least, give you trouble shooting steps: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-connection-data-not-received-errors/
And possibly this post might help as well: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-plugin-memory-500-error/
Good luck!
Hi ninianepress, thanks for the links! I will look at them. It’s an issue I’ve had since moving to GoDaddy, and when I posted the above, nothing would work until most of the plugins were disabled. I got SO fed up with the fact that just checking my site stats or uploading an image would take half an hour instead of five minutes… I got angry and asked a few people I know advice on a different hosting service. I went to BlueHost.
Several people had mentioned that perhaps GoDaddy was not the best hosting place for a WordPress site. I’ve no idea if the problem is truly routed in the hosting service or not, but I’ll tell you that it has been one week today and not one error has come up.
I exported my files out before moving, and everything went fine except for the image files. Not one of them stayed with the coding – every single one had to be uploaded again and reorganized… (I have A LOT of images). Took 3 days! lol….
But it would appear that all is good. So far, anyway. Ont one glitch, not one 500 error message, and not only that, now I can “preview” things again like plugins and the like which didn’t work at all before.
I REALLY hope it stays like this… I love using WordPress so very much.
Hi,
I had the exact same problems with GoDaddy, then I switched, and now everything’s fine. I kept calling them and getting the run around for two months or so, and I experienced the issue for 5 months, since I started my new site. Now I see the same issue with a friend’s site hosted on GoDaddy, and she noticed the same issue on many other people’s sites hosted on GoDaddy as well.
I really think that it’s due to their overloaded servers. I had a site on there that had a lot of plugins (and therefore, a lot of tables) and it kept happening with my site, but it also happened with my friend’s site which had one or two plugins. It’s been a common issue with a lot of people. I think that’s why they’re pushing their site builder so much. They want inexperienced people to make a two or three paged website, and not wordpress sites to help offset the overwhelm.
Anyway, whatever the problem is, it seems to be a GoDaddy issue, even though they won’t outright admit it (at least not to me, although, one agent implied it was due to oversold space). You should be good to go from here on out.
Good luck!
Hi. Frustrated is putting it mildly. I got tired of the non-support-support from GD after years of being a reseller and having a dedicated server with them.
My saving grace was moving to Blue Host. Some of the techs have spent a great deal of time “hand-holding” me through the entire process.
For myself I got another dedicated server with BH. But then again I have some 300+ domains. The difference was night and day.
And, I have lots a sum of money on themes too.. I finally found good support and a theme at MH Themes…
OK, I hope this helps..
Lone Wolf out..
