Please help: blog not opening 3 out of 5 times!!!

You can get the php5.ini file from your CPanel (If it is accessible), in that file search for " maximum execution time " change as per your need. Some plugin or script conflicts are there in your blog. Otherwise 30 second is optimum.

Yaa I also think that one of the plugin causing this problem, try to check your all plugins compatibility with your latest wordpress version, also check out the reviews about that plugins on wordpress.org

Hi Sujith,

There is no php5.ini in godaddy...they told me to create one....and i don't know what code to put in it....godaddy will not help with the code....do you know what it could be?? Also, how do i check for conflicting plugin or scripts??? sorry if i am being a total pain.

thanks for your help.

best,

nisha
