 * Alright, I have no cache plugins installed
 * The problem that I am having is that, while navigating the site, sometimes elements
   will be missing, for instance, sometimes the logo / banner will disappear and
   be replaced with text, the search button will be missing and replaced with its
   text default, and the Twitter button on the left hand side, will say Get Flash
   Player.
 * What is causing this ? Sometimes the page loads fine and sometimes it does not
   fully load, it is just these three elements that I am aware off that has a problem.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * The site link is: [http://tinyurl.com/29uf79a](http://tinyurl.com/29uf79a)

 * You server could be having intermittent connection failures. Have you contacted
   your hosting provider?

   of the site ?

 * I’m not entirely sure. I didn’t see anything wrong with your code besides just
   a few basic validation issues, which wouldn’t interfere like that.

 * thanks James, yup I have tested it out on different OS’s and different browsers,
   still the same problem, the funny thing is that it is only restricted to 5 elements
   that I am aware off.
 * 1. Twitter button.
    2. Logo / Banner. 3. Crumpled paper just under the logo /
   banner. 4. RSS feed image. 5. The go button.

 * It’s a long shot (a really long shot), but I suppose this could be a plugin or
   theme issue.
 * Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Default theme (WordPress
   1.5 – 2.9.2) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to rule-out a
   theme-specific issue.

 * disabled all plugins

 * i just disable them by placing an x in the plugin directory, refreshed the page,
   removed the x

 * Hi James, here is just an update to what my host has informed me:
 * Those elements are getting blocked because they use a full url. For example the
   logo at the top of the page has the image source set to “[http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/xxxx/xxxx/…&#8221](http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/xxxx/xxxx/…&#8221);.
   
   If it was just set to “/xxxx/xxxx/…” then it would not require an extra apache
   request. When you keep refreshing the page the server’s firewall is blocking 
   that request from the server back to its own ip. Those paths should be changed
   so they are not using the full url.
 * Posted this here, hopefully it helps somebody else.
