I have 11,000+ approved comments (not spam) on Dagmar's Home http://DagmarBleasdale.com and now only the posts that don't have any comments are showing up - all others say there is an Internal Server Error.
I spent all day on phone with Bluehost and they insist that they don't have an issue with this many comments, that this is a Wordpress issue. We duplicated the site and when they delete years of comments, the site works again.
I am not willing to delete years of approved comments! There must be a different way to deal with this. Do popular blog owners delete comments? I've never heard of that! What do blogs do that get a hundred comments a day? I might get maybe 3 on average. So another issue is that I don't understand how I get to 11K legit comments in 6 years.
I am using the Thesis theme and the comment box that comes with it, and I'm already on a dedicated server with Bluehost.
I want to keep my current comment option because I don't want to lose years of comments.
Help! Any suggestions to deal with posts that have comments not showing up?
