    I’ve just duplicated this broken behavior on 4 different web hosts, right now BUWP 1.6.2 is dead in the water as far as usage is concerned 🙁

    Your biggest bottleneck is going to be MySQL. I highly recommend focusing your energy on tuning MySQL.

    Please also remember that having a search tool to muck around in ~280k posts seems like a potential DDoS nightmare. Definitely want to find out how to cache your results and search efficiently, and limit how many searches per minute a single IP can make.

    Suggestion #1: Write these posts in a more clear manner, more people will be happy to help.

    Suggestion #2: Immediately change your FTP and MySQL passwords.

    Suggestion #3: Try to identify the offending codes source. 90% of the time I find attackers inject code into the WordPress core/themes/plugins. You may also want to check the wp_posts table in phpMyAdmin for signs of tampering.

    I suggest hiring a consultant if this is important and you’re not familiar with how to proceed.

    Absolute worse case scenario- back up your WordPress site and start fresh.

    You’re hitting a PHP memory limit, likely due to the large media file that is being handled by WordPress. It’s exceeding the 64MB memory limit set by your host.

    Mat is describing a variable found in a file called ‘php.ini’, this is where your PHP settings are defined. If your host is running you with FastCGI, you may have access to modify this file. The variables you’ll want to raise:

    memory_limit = 99M
    post_max_size = 99M
    max_execution_time = 500

    Alternatively, if you can identify the file and try to make it smaller that may work. (eg. if it’s a 10MB picture that is being processed, resize it)

    If MAMP is like any other stack, MAMP will have a directory where your WordPress install needs to reside.

    An easy easy to visualize this, is assuming the MAMP ‘web folder’ is /Users/yourname/MAMP/html/:

    http://localhost:8888 == /Users/yourname/MAMP/html/

    http://localhost:8888/hello.html == /Users/yourname/MAMP/html/hello.html

    http://localhost:8888/Users/admin/Documents/ == /Users/yourname/MAMP/html/Users/admin/Documents

    NOTE: the path I chose ‘/Users/yourname/MAMP/html/’ is just a guess, this is NOT where MAMP is actually located

    Hope this clarifies things.

    It doesn’t appear you have a DNS zone file associated with burnthefatbonus.org. Your domain is using DS1.BLUEHOST.COM and DS2.BLUEHOST.COM as nameservers, but I’m not getting A records when digging your site:

    ;; QUESTION SECTION:
    ;burnthefatbonus.org. IN A
    ;www.burnthefatbonus.org. IN A

    Contact BlueHost and ask them to add a DNS zone file for your domain.
