Hosting your own blog can be fantastic, but it can also come with other problems.
I had to install some new updates and they crashed my site. Of course, it had to happen just as I had done a new post. So if you missed the last post, here is a link to it.
Sitting on its own – a pear
Hopefully, all will be well with it now. Fingers crossed.
Yeah, I don’t think I would do self-hosted without Dave, he is a programmer and always fixes the problems I have. Migrating my followers was probably the easiest thing to do really. Easier than I thought. Thanks John.
Touch wood, I’ve been lucky with hosting my WordPress site. Simple plrecautions like a regular backup can help! Glad you;re back.
Thank you Matt, this has been the first major glitch in a few years. It all started with having to update PHP, which my husband hates with a passion, then database wasn’t cooperating. Just a mess really.
I’ve been thinking of changing my theme too but if it’s going to crash my site . . . maybe not!! 😉
You will be fine Lena, you are with the main WordPress site, I’m self hosted, which creates lots of other problems. Go for it. Or not up to you.
Thanks! I did change it. Long story but it changed itself after I click on a new theme I was considering. And it is working fine. Thanks for the encouragement!
Oh good, that is great news. Nothing like a change. I still have to do mine, but it seems it isn’t going to be as simple as I hoped. Fingers crossed I get it sorted, but don’t think anything will happen until I get back from my trip.
Whew! Sorry about the glitch but I thought it was me. I kept trying and trying to get to your site last night and kept getting the ‘cannot reach the database’ message. The pear is a beauty, Leanne.
Yeah it was the database that was the issue. Hopefully all fixed now. I couldn’t do anything until Dave had time to fix to it.
