 * Thanks for checking it out Harmck, and yeah I managed to get everything up to
   speed and normal again.
 * **So for future references and anyone else that has this problem here’s what 
   I did:**
 * **Problem:** I deleted a ton of categories with 100’s of posts in them. Turns
   out this must’ve completely messed up my .htaccess file (it was incredibly huge
   and had tons of repeat code).
 * **Solution:** All I did was delete my .htaccess file and let WordPress create
   me a new one.
 * If you don’t know how to manually delete it: For Cpanel users, click on File 
   Manager, and on the pop-up check the box that says Show Hidden Files. This will
   allow you to see the .htaccess file. you can delete it and let WordPress work
   it’s magic, or delete and then create a new one with the following code in it:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
   
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * This will reset your .htaccess file and stop your site from slowing down to an
   utter hault. Turns out your php files will be making so many calls that your 
   website will run out of memory to compile your homepage (or any other pages for
   that matter).
 * For further precationary measures I also repaired and optimized my database and
   enabled the Super W3 Cache Plugin. So now I’ll have a successful game launch 
   come wednesday.
 * Cheers!

 * Thanks a ton tollmanz, I’ll see what I can do with that.
 * Also I deleted and reset the .htaccess file. It seemed to do something as now
   my admin panel loads up as well as the website, but none of the images show.
 * If anyone looks at ironzilla.com, can you tell me how it looks like on your comp(
   ie if the images load). I’d greatly appreciate it.

   in /home/johnf111/public_html/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 72
 * While trying to load up the admin panel
