Thanks for your response about the type.so extension and how to add it.
The iPage guys sorted it for me. Their solution in their words:
- enable CTYPE plugin and updated all PHP limits.
All sorted now.
I managed to put debug on and found out this is related to allocated memory.
Took the advice to this line to wp-config.php at the top of the file after the first line.
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
Seems to have solved my issues.
