WordPress won’t load (connection timed out)

2 Views

For some reason my WordPress installation has just started saying “Error – connection timed out” recently and I can’t get a single page to load. At first I thought it was my local MAMP server that was having problems, but now I’m starting to think it is a problem with my WordPress installation.

I tried the three most suggested solutions of (1) De-activating all of my plugins to see if the problem was due to a specific plugin. No fixes there. Then (2) I switched to the default “Twentyfourteen” theme to see if it was a problem with my custom theme (it wasn’t). And finally (3) I tried increasing the memory limit by adding define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M' ); to the wp-config.php file. This didn’t work either.

Are there any other causes out there that could be causing this? Any solutions would be appreciated.

  1. If none of the steps proposed in Codex helped, then it is very likely that there’s some kind of locking happening. These locks may appear when installing/upgrading is not done in the proposed manner. Restarting Apache and MySQL should delete these locks.

    If the problem persists or reappears further investigation is necessary. The logfiles of the involved daemons (Apache, MySQL,…) may point you to the reason of the problem and i’m sure your OS has tools that allow you tracing process any analyzing locks, but in this case maybe reinstalling gets you faster to your goal.

  2. The solution is clear as shown in wordpress.org official site

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors

    Just follow the steps shown there. This helped me too.

    If the site runs after switching to WordPress Twenty Fifteen Theme, then there is the problem in your theme.

    But if the error exists,then you have to re-install wordpress with fresh
    database because path may be wrong in your database.

    Also give you proper attention in memory limits.

    Thanks

  3. your problem is connection timed out error. I solve your problem. you check this point.
    When your WP site tries to do more than the server capacity (means you should know how much your server can manage). This problem occurs mostly with shared hosting.
    Limited memory is another common reason of it.
