Hi guys!

Out of a sudden, something is going wrong with my site!

When I click "Topics with unread posts" the window opens (actually, it opens at the left end side of the screen and then it moves to the middle...), but if I click on the links nothing happens. They are like...dead...

The images attached to a post do not open at all. The higher part of the screen turns like grey and nothing else.

I haven't changed anything.

Any idea? confused

Morning Stefano

I always hate saying this but am afraid I am going to have to... if things work and then suddenly stop working as they were then something simply must have changed. It can be a tweak to your WordPress theme... and update to ANY WP plugin.... a new WP plugin made active. It has to be something.?

Morning Andy.

I agree completely!

The only thing I have updated is Jetpack. I switched it off but it still doesn't work...

Mmm. JetPack can cause an absolute riot of problems.
So - can I have a link so I can see this event?

Thank you Andy!

I sent you a PM with the login, as the forum is for members only. You are admin for both the site and the forum.

Something is screwing up all - well mostly all - of the javascript 'script' tags. Looks like you have turned on something to try and optimise them but is, in fact, making some of them invalid.

I do not know what that something is bit this is something new and a change...

You also appear to be running the forum page using w3-total-cache. That wont work proper;y as w3-tital-cache can not handle dynamically created pages which a forum naturally is. You need to exclude the forum page from ALL caches. Actually this might be the source of the scripting mess as well come to think of it.

Additional. I just noticed that your page is still loading stuff from JetPack so it it not fully deactivated. It's an insidious plugin that can cause all kinds of hidden problems... This may, possibly, have something to do with things as well.

Andy, I deactivated and removed Jetpack completely. 

I looked at W3 Total Cache and the page /forum/ is there, not to be cached, as it was before.

But it still doesn't work...

Odd. If you look at the source being generated you will see this displayed at the end of the HTML:

<!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache. Learn more: http://www.w3-edge.com/wordpre.....s-plugins/

Minified using xcache (Request URI is rejected)
Page Caching using xcache (Requested URI is rejected)
Database Caching using xcache (Request-wide Request URI is rejected)
Object Caching 7779/8126 objects using xcache

Served from: http://www.irsa-stringers.com @ 2015-11-10 22:03:19 by W3 Total Cache -->

It also says it is 'minifying' it so that suggests the forum page is also not excluded frm the script minification option in w3-total-cache.

I am also seeing a LOT of scripts being loaded with a syntactically incorrect 'defer' statement at the end - like this:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.irsa-stringers.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/js/scripts.js' defer '></script>

I think the script is still being loaded but it could well be having a negative effect along the way.

I am not sure about the use of xcache. Not an expert there...

actually, with exception of the object cache, the caching is disabled (uri rejected)...  and the object cache (whether xcache, memcache or other) should be fine...

but dont think I have link to site to look further...
