In reply to: lost password – not recognizing any usernameThe reason can be complicated. Instead of troubleshooting, you may try to use plugin that config wp_mail() function to use SMTP instead of mail() function.
I personally haven’t had same problem as yours, can’t recommend one for you. But do a plugin search in WordPress.org for “mail SMTP”, choose the right one that works for you following your guideline.

In reply to: FTP/SSH Login FailsI think you may want to separate FTP & SSH.
For FTP login, port is 21, for SSH, port is 22.
My answer is: don’t login using SSH, as it may not open on this hosting. Try FTP login, using CyberDuck, username : user@ketteringphidelts.com
This has nothing to do with plugins, WordPress. It is a hosting server FTP / SSH login issue.

In reply to: FTP/SSH Login FailsAs far as I know, many hosting companies don’t allow SSH on shared plan. Is this your case?

In reply to: I think i got hackedTo prevent this from happening again? Setup a sound automatic backup plan. With backup, you can restore your site anytime you like.
There are good WordPress security tips online. Start from something you are comfortable with.

In reply to: MAC BOOK PROThis isn’t gonna be easy. I don’t have any problem accessing your posts using Safari 5, 7 & 8.
I think this more like your computer problem than website problem.

In reply to: MAC BOOK PROI don’t think this could be a Mac OS X issue, but a browser issue. What browser are you using on Mac, what version? What is your website URL, which page can’t be seen on Mac?

In reply to: Slow siteJust FYI, I have WooCommerce & Canada Post’s plugin, it shouldn’t be the cause. The Canada Post plugin is activated only on checking out page, to calculate the shipping rate.

In reply to: Slow siteThe caching plugin Hyper Cache Extended has a “Cache status”, where you can find a Server Load index number. This will tell you whether the server is overloaded.
Your friend should have more ways to access server log, to pinpoint the bottleneck.
I don’t have much experience on Linux server optimization, only limited practice on VPS. But would recommend your friend do some database optimization. Both Joomla & WP are database driven. MySQL is better to tuned up to tip-top shape.
Good luck!

In reply to: Slow siteI just did another test, the waiting time for server response is 5.72s. You may have other sites with the same hosting company, but this site maybe hosted on a different server.
Ping other sites and boutfils.ca, and find their IP addresses, this will tell you whether all your sites are on the same server. It will be a surprise they are all on the same server. No matter what, contacting your hosting company will help, especially when boutfils.ca is hosted on a different server.
I have sites with WPML, and I don’t see performance hit on those sites.
In your case, no matter how you tune up plugins, theme, code, it won’t help much. The server response time is the bottleneck.

In reply to: RE: Should I upgrade MySQL to v5.6?If 30 sites are on the same server, and all live sites, I would have to be cautious.
Although your chance of having troubles is very low, I would run the test on other testing environment with the target version of MySQL installed.
My point is, the upgrade is inevitable. Do it sooner than later.

In reply to: RE: Should I upgrade MySQL to v5.6?I don’t have same experience, but I would upgrade without doubt.
Just like PHP 5.2 was forced upgraded to 5.3 or 5.4 at many hosting server, I personally believe MySQL upgrade will be the same in the future.
You’ve already received the message to upgrade MySQL database, it is a good time to do so. I believe next version of the same plugin/theme update will elevate warning message level.
Unless all your 30 sites are on the same server, starting from just one site and get some first-hand experience is always helpful.

In reply to: my site is insanely slow and i don't know whyI think your hosting server is overloaded. GTmetrix test result, your home page size is 1.63MB, page speed grade is A, YSlow grade is B. That’s not top-notch, but good enough.
The sever response time is terribly slow. If you are on a shared host plan, the server is overloaded. I would go for a better host.
