Is my site down?

  • Unknown's avatar

    The link to my site (akpcmyd1214.wordpress.com) is suddenly not working. I am also unable to get into my WP Admin page. I can only see my Reader and my States. What can I do? Thank you!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Site is opening fine at my end.

    It could be an issue with your browser cache/cookies or your ISP. First, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, if it doesn’t work then try opening it in another browser.

    If it still doesn’t work, could you try opening via a proxy to make sure it’s not your connection/ISP problem? Try the first two methods though and let us know your results.

    Thank you so much! You were right about using a proxy. I tried the other things and they didn’t work, then finally found a VPN that worked on my computer (old operating system). I don’t know why I need a VPN all of the sudden though…

  • No problem, so we finally know the workaround!

    Now, the connection issue could be originating from your computer or your ISP. To rule out any faulty settings in computer, open it from another machine without VPN. Does it help?

    If not, your ISP could be blocking access due to one reason or another.

    Does other WordPress.com blogs open? Try a few from going into your Reader. Or try this one.

    It looks like the blog is overseas with it’s subject matter – sometimes countries block WordPress.COM blogs for censorship reasons – don’t know if that is happening with you – but it has happened in the past

  • Yes, it does happen in some countries.

    One way to rule it out is to use another computer and ISP. If both don’t work, it’s possibly a block at the country-level.

    I think it’s working again, and that it might depend on which Internet company I try it with. Thanks again for all of your help! I still have to look into the other reasons you mentioned.
