There are several things you can try to fix the “connection timed out” error in WordPress:
1. Increase the PHP execution time limit
You can increase the PHP execution time limit by adding the following line of code to your wp-config.php file:
set_time_limit(300);This will increase the time limit to 300 seconds (5 minutes).
2. Increase the memory limit
You can increase the memory limit by adding the following line of code to your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');This will increase the memory limit to 256MB.
3. Check your plugins
The “connection timed out” error can sometimes be caused by a plugin that is consuming too many resources. Try deactivating all of your plugins and then reactivating them one at a time to see if the problem is fixed.
4. Check your theme
If deactivating your plugins does not fix the problem, try switching to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty) to see if the problem is caused by your theme.
5. Check with your hosting provider
If none of the above steps fix the problem, it’s possible that the issue is with your hosting provider. You may want to contact your hosting provider to see if they can help you resolve the issue.
I hope these suggestions help!
