Hi guys I am not a professional website guy, just trying to build one for my small business and worked in The X theme for the first time today, at first it was very confusing just to replace my logo because so many things are moved and rearranged since any of the youtube videos for X were made. But I finally figured that out after many hours and did some work on the main menu, then I wanted to work on the slider at the top of the page in agency and I was off in Slider revolution working when I got an error that said my “session timed out” and I dont know what exactly happened but it must have saved and published my work before it closed and as a result the work I did is now caching in servers around the world and I cannot log back into my admin account at all, I just get a code 404 or a website coming soon picture on 3 different browsers… I believe it is going to take all night to cache before I can even log back in which is frustrating to say the least, I was just starting to get somewhere…lol… So How do I prevent this from happening again? what does Session Timeout" mean? how do i do work in the theme and save it without it publishing?
This is twice in 2 days I cant work on the website because of server caching… How does anybody ever get anything done when it takes 24 to 48 hours for the server to do it’s thing?
I know none of what I am saying probably makes any sense to anyone since I do not speak the language… All I know is I dont ever want to sit through this problem of server caching again so if someone could please tell me how to prevent that I would greatly appreciate it… I never once experienced this when I worked in the divi theme when I built my last website… So I think cornerstone is just confusing me and I do not understand how to save the work without publishing it… I just want to work in the background until the website is done and then publish it. I am starting to think the x theme was a bad purchase for me because it is too complex for a novice and there are almost no how to videos for it on youtube.
Hello John,
Thanks for writing in! Just for future topics, self responding or bumping your post pushes it back in our Queue system so it takes longer to respond to.
404 means that there is a fatal error happening. To get more information about this 404 error, you can enable the debug mode. You can do this by opening wp-config.php and adding
define( ‘WP_DEBUG’ , true ); just above /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ For example:
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
When you revisit the page, you should have some error output describing the issue in more detail.
In most cases, 404 error or fatal error is because of your PHP memory exhaustion. And to get around that, we recommend that you increase your memory allocated to PHP. To increase it, please edit your wp-config.php file and insert these lines:
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );
You can add it before the line
/*That's all, stop editing! Happy Blogging. */
Meanwhile, server caching is a feature in your hosting provider. You may need to ask further assistance on how you can enable, disable or get to use much of this feature from your host provider.
We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.
