In reply to: putting my website onlineTalk to your new Hoster about this. Most Hosters usually provide (free) help with new sites moving to their services.

In reply to: Optimizing databaseIt is true that OPTIMIZE should be used for MyISAM Tables and that used to be the default format. InnoDB is now the default format although MyISAM is still used as well. You should be using REPAIR Tables as it will Optimize “and” correct any errors for both, MyISAM & InnoDB Tables.
As dealing with database can sometimes be tricky and you definitely want to avoid mistakes, talk your Hosting Support for further help on this. Get them to also help with setting up a Cron for regular use of REPAIR.

In reply to: Block Contains unexpected or invalid content. Attempt Block RecoveryPulling the data is not the issue, using that data. As the API is only looking for something to get it doesn’t care if incorrect coding is used. The Block Editor on the other hand, does care.
I’m not familiar with ‘block recovery’ nor do I know what code is being corrected. I can only presume it is fixing syntax errors of some kind. Doesn’t sound like an easy workaround can be done.

In reply to: Too many “failed login attempts”?One of the plugin(s) you are using for security has been enabled to send eMail for every failed login attempt. Find that plugin and in its settings turn that feature OFF.

In reply to: Internal Server Error preventing me logging inIf you used FTP to login and change ‘index.php’ from 644 to 666, use FTP to change it back to 644. Note that FileZilla probably disconnected automatically and you only need to log back in.
Also, you only need to post information after the ‘public_html’ part.

In reply to: Media Library not Showing all ImagesA plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-sync/ may help to add your images back into the database. Allows you to do a ‘dry run’ so you see what will happen before any changes are made. Or you can try a similar type plugin.

In reply to: site not working right vusuallyThe learning is in the doing, so the more practice one gets the better at using it.
I can tell you that when wanting more than one image in a block, add the images as ‘in-line images’ and you’ll be able to align them left, center, right.

In reply to: site not working right vusuallyOnly advice I can give is to read the documentation of the Page Editor you are using. Or, like most of us, do the trial & error method. 🙂

In reply to: Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’SEO best practices state that having pages like the 3 you mentioned “should be” marked as no index. Why would you want them coming up in Search Engine results?
If you really want to change them you’ll need an SEO plugin like Yoast, All In One SEO, etc.

In reply to: Load on server due to wp databaseIf your hosting support team is part of your Hoster, can you hire them? I know your server is not managed although the Hoster will usually provide paid-for Support. I bring this up because you seem to have some problems that require an experienced person looking at what is going on. Trying to get answers from a Forum where people volunteer answers for the problems you are having is not good in this particular situation. Especially since no one but you can see what is going or the results of what happens when you make suggested changes.
You say “they” gave you a command to see the live logs but if you’re not sure what to do, how does that help? Messing with Plugins may not be the answer for the problems you are having at this time. You’ve got to turn on gzip, change Cache settings, fix repeating PHP & HTML errors, setup some security within the Headers and more. I can see all that just from looking at your website and not looking at any error logs.
If you want to see live Apache error logs on the server, this command may help as well.
tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log — may be different path on your server
Or look in cPanel -> Metrics -> Errors
You can view logs for previous PHP errors from within the Hosting Control Panel – File Mgr:
/home/username/logs/ dir. <- if the file is many MB in size, delete it and wait a few minutes–a new one will be created that will be easier to read.Your various error logs will tell where problems are so one can start at the correct places for fixing them.

In reply to: Error Establishing A Database Connection (I deteted past doc)Using Softaculous is safe and handy. You can also set it up to do backups of WordPress. Usually available within cPanel Hosting Control Panel.
phpMyAdmin is usually accessible from within your Hosting Control Panel. If not talk to your Hoster.

In reply to: Error Establishing A Database Connection (I deteted past doc)Good to hear you worked it out.
For those reading this in the future, can you describe what changes worked?

In reply to: Server Response TimeI’m sure the tools I mentioned pointed out some areas where page load time can be improved. You just need to follow up making the changes.
With that said, there are 4 Google connections being made for every page. As they are for CAPTCHA they only need to be on one or two pages; Contact, Sign In, etc. Making that change will also speed things up.
And change the Cache settings,
from: Cache-Control: private, proxy-revalidate, s-maxage=0
to: Cache-Control: private, stale-while-revalidate=3600That will also speed up page load and take a bit of stress off the server.
