Hey – very glad to be of some help! I only logged back in on a whim to update my own query. So pleased that this was so helpful, especially as I am generally very clueless on WordPress.
Happy blogging, everyone x
Just replying to myself in case anyone is googling and finds this…
I suddenly remembered an email I got from hostgator asking me to log into my cpanel and test my site using PHP5.4
I do not understand what any of this means but since it seemed likely my site wasn’t working on PHP5.4 I followed the instructions to change it back to PHP5.2 which has at least put it back online.
I am now going to check that my instagram plug-in is updated to the most up to date version (in case this was the issue, given the error message), and try to find out if what I’ve done is a long-term solution. But the site is back online which is a relief.
If anyone has anything to add to this, I would still be grateful for any wisdom. Thanks for reading.
