 * Here is the Pastebin from the past few days of errors (there are so many of the
   Fatal Error entries that it exceeded the pastebin limits, so I cut it off at 
   three) from one site, anonymized. Prior log entries were more than a month old.

 * I’m having the same issue, since updating to 4.4.x
 * I have a weekly backup scheduled, which was working fine, but the plugin reports
   that it’s “been a long time” since the last backup and now it incessantly updates
   files (which has led to a warning from my hosting provider about wp-cron CPU 
   loads).

 * Thanks, Marcus — I’ve been pulling my hair out over this — it’s also broken another
   plugin, which I’ve used to run a grants competition, that ends today.

 * Hm. I suspect its to do with the fact that the new server has /wp-admin/ .htaccess
   restrictions.
 * Thanks for that bit of info — now I have a specific place to point out to the
   OIT staff (since I can’t change that access rule, myself).
 * (This wouldn’t be the first time that their security paranoia has broken parts
   of the site; I’d move the site to an off-campus host, but we’re a provostial 
   department and not allowed to do so.)

 * That’s my suspicion, too.
 * Maddeningly, after turning off Jetpack, it worked fine for a short while, then
   failed, again, without any changes to the production configuration.
 * I pulled _all_ other plugins from the dev site and switched the theme to TwentyTwelve,
   without any resolution.
 * I have a feeling that it may be some remnants of WP-SuperCache, due to a generated
   comment tag, despite the fact that I’ve deleted the plugin and all the files 
   I have permission to modify.
 * Unfortunately, my hands are partially bound — I had complete access and control
   over my old server, which suffered a hardware failure, two months ago. IT policy
   changes, since the old box went live, mean that I don’t have total access on 
   the new dev box and zero access to the production install (aside from the WP 
   Dashboard and a sync script). In addition, the old box was running SUSE and the
   new site is a different distro, so there are some differences in the overall 
   configuration. (And I’m not even allowed access to the Apache/mySQL/PHP logs.)
 * It could also be WP 3.5.x; the site was upgraded from 3.4.x without my permission,
   due to a security scare with another WP install, on another box, run by another
   department, so I didn’t get a chance to test my custom theme against it and sort
   through any deprecated code.
 * Hm.

 * Apparently, the issue lies in some interaction with Jetpack (it and one other‘
   essential’ plugin were the only ones I didn’t disable).
 * I’m still scratching my head on this.

 * Andrea,
 * Thanks for the fast reply.
 * The one snag is that the sub-networks don’t show Super Admin in their dashboards—
   it looks, instead, like I’m logged in as a non-super sub-domain site administrator.
   The Super Admin settings in the main site are set to allow large file uploads,
   and the sub-domains under it respect those settings, but not the sub-network 
   sites.
 * I have been slowly resigning myself to the necessity (and relative ease) of relying
   on the MU domain mapping plugin, rather than monkeying with the database. (I’m
   getting really tired of issuing MySQL commands every time I want to add a new
   theme to the sub-network sites.) Hmm… I guess it’s just my geeky pride that’s
   standing in the way.

 * It was the result of a conflict with WP-Firewall.
 * I was able to identify it via the ‘[Conflict Catcher](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_Catcher)‘
   method of turning off half my plugins, then seeing if the problem still occurred,
   and then systematically repeating, halving the number of plugins each test iteration.
 * Whitelisting `*wp-admin/edit.php*` and `*wp-admin/tools.php*`, as described here:
   [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/310508?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/310508?replies=3)
   did the trick, eliminating the need to disable Firewall whenever I need to manually
   backup or make a scheduled backup settings change.

   another.
 * I simply re-entered (pasted) my API key and clicked “update” in the Akismet configuration
   page and all was fixed.
