WordPress Publish Button Missing: 1&1, Akismet and SQL

Posted by in Technology

Last month I [intlink id=”2831″ type=”post”]wrote about an error[/intlink] on this site that caused me to start fresh: the Publish button was missing from WordPress and you couldn’t post anything. Here’s a screenshot of the error. At the time I couldn’t locate a fix for the problem, but last week the same thing happened to my wife’s site so that caused me to have a closer look.

WordPress Error 500 on 1&1 Web Hosting

Posted by in Technology

Early this week one of my plugins had an upgrade available but when I clicked to upgrade automatically I received the following: Error 500 – Internal Server Error.  Didn’t give it much thought and tried to log into this site last night and after entering my credentials received the same error: now it was serious. Searching for the error uncovered one possible fix indicating PHP is running out of memory.  To increase on an ISP that doesn’t give direct access to PHP is to create a PHP.INI file with this…read more
