In reply to: I'm just not getting this !Did you change your Nameservers? IT looks like the domain is pointed to a GoDaddy landing page. You’ll need to go into the domain maintenance with GoDaddy and enter the Dreamhost nameservers they provide you. Then it’ll take about 24 hours to take effect. I hope this helps!

In reply to: Storage Location for Icon (.ico)hahaha,
I’m slow so sorry about that. that’s something I’m not aware of since png files are images whereas .ico files denotes it’s the icon to be used. The LCOC file should be a theme folder, not the actual webpage. The page is being built from multiple objects. But here’s the codex on favicons:

I hope this helps!

In reply to: Error 101 – The connection was reset.Yes, you may want to look at using wp super cache. But you have a lot of JS scripts loading, so it’s making a ton of requests to the server just for one visitor. If you use Chrome, you can see what is loading on the page, and it can help you. However, it’s easier to use the pingdom link I posted.

In reply to: Error 101 – The connection was reset.I’ve tried to load the page a few times, but it takes a while to load, so there’s something that’s continually loading that’s causing the errors. I’m using chrome, and if you use it as well, you can load the developer tools to try and determine what is loading slowly. Then you can determine where the issue is. So I ran a test here:
You have 60 requests just to load the home page. And it’s taking almost 6 seconds. Think about it this way, if you’re not running caching in some form – if you’re site gets a 100 visitors – that’s 6000 requests.
I hope this helps!

In reply to: Error 101 – The connection was reset.Sounds like a server issue. Do you have a link? What did your hosting provider say?
I’ve never heard of such an error with WordPress. But you can try a few things. Rename your plugins folder to deactivate all your plugins. If the error still exists you know it’s not a plugin. Then change the theme to the default. If the error exists then it’s not the theme. At that point you’ve pretty much ruled that it is a server side issue.

In reply to: Storage Location for Icon (.ico)Hi TIA,
Notice in the code you posted it has the file path using the href tag. If you put it in the root folder, you just need to specify the correct path in the link.

In reply to: Error 101 – The connection was reset.It sounds like a web browser issue. Here’s a Google forum talking about it:

In reply to: Help– admin panel gone!?If it was a new domain, or you changed the DNS settings like nameservers, it can take up to 24 to 48 hours to take effect. It sounds like that may have been the cause. Thanks for updating us!

In reply to: New Install not doing anythingYou’re getting a 500 error which is generic in nature. You’ll want to look at the server’s error logs to determine the exact cause. Typically, 500 errors that I’ve seen are related to file permissions. You’ll want to make sure your file permissions and ownership is correct.
