why wordpress was down for 110 minutes

On 19th Feb 2010 we all faced the wordpress down and that affected the 10.2 million blogs. why wordpress was down for some time on 19th 2010 due to huge amount traffic.

That is really huge amount of blogs and page views missed by wordpress. On that day itself Matt who is founder of wordpress is came up with reason. That is really great relief and news to all bloggers of wordpress.

why wordpress was down
why wordpress was down

As Per Matt:  It appears an unscheduled change to a core router by one of our datacenter providers messed up our network in a way we haven’t experienced before, and broke the site. It also broke all the mechanisms for failover between our locations in San Antonio and Chicago. All of your data was safe and secure, we just couldn’t serve it.

What we’re doing: We need to dig deeper and find out exactly what happened, why, and how to recover more gracefully next time and isolate problems like this so they don’t affect our other locations.

I will update this post as we find out more, and have a more concrete plan for the future.

I know this sucked for you guys as much as it did for us — the entire team was on pins and needles trying to get your blogs back as soon as possible. I hope it will be much longer than four years before we face a problem like this again.

If you do not having archive page in your website so you are lacking somewhere in SEO for your website.  What I am going to show in this article, How to create the archive page for worpdress theme or website.  In wordpress creating the archive is very easy.

Follow my steps to create the archive page in wordpress site.

  • Open your wordpress theme folder and copy the single.php as named archive.php
    Note: dont copy index.php file as archive.php. It may have different UI and programming attribute in index.php.
  • Then copy archive.php as archive_template.php new file.
  • Open the archive_template.php file and copy paste the following code in top of file.
<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives Page
*/
?>
  • Again open the archive_template.php file and find the post loop. Between the loop copy past the following code.
<h1> All Archives in dropdown</h1>
<select name="archive-dropdown" onChange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
 <option value=""><?php echo attribute_escape(__('Select Month')); ?></option>
 <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=option&show_post_count=1'); ?> </select>

<br><br>
<h1> All category</h1>
<ul><?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1') ?></ul>

<br><br>
<h1> All Archives</h1>
<ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&show_post_count=1') ?></ul>

Above code will give you the archive with dropdown and archive with category name with post count and archive with month and post count.

  • After doing this upload two new files to server in wordpress theme folder (archive.php and archive_template.php).
  • Go to your wordpress Admin panel using browser
  • Create the new page with title “Archive” and put some information about your website in that page.(Dont publish the page wait and follow next steps.)
