DFA Blog Login Errors – Fixed?

Hi a quick update. We have been having intermittent issues with our blog where people trying to access the site get a dialogue from WordPress redirecting to wp-admin/install.php. A bit disconcerting to say the least!

This error was created by having more users on the blog than the SQL server could handle (a recent WordPress update increased the memory usage). So our blog was not compromised, and all content is safe. Phew.

First, thanks to all those who alerted me to this issue, including via social media, I really appreciated this, as it helped me deal with the issue promptly.

Second, we are working on a fix. My ISP has upped the memory on the server, and we increased the capacity but its still happening from time to time. For some reason the SQL query count has suddenly spiked, and there is a limit in each hour period, so its worth checking back later. We have raised a ticket, and hope to get a permanent fix soon. Meantime, the main DFA site still works at http://www.digitalfinanceanalytics.com/ if you want to contact me, or review our other content.

Third, the increased traffic highlights the interest in the DFA content, which is gratifying. Thanks for your interest. We will fix it as soon as we can.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused! We will now get back to creating more great content!!
