A little help from our developers, please!

If you’re a developer, we would be very grateful for your help!

We are getting an intermittent error on WarhornMedia.com that we cannot figure out. Depending on… something, the website will either serve you the page as you’d expect, or something like this:

It’s not consistent, so we cannot figure out what’s causing it.

Does anyone else here have any ideas?

Thanks much!

PS It is a Wordpress site. And that’s JSON, not really an error per se.

I believe it’s a cache issue. That’s not the normal wp-json API response (e.g. here’s the response for that page, much longer with different fields: https://warhornmedia.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/23513)

The version":"20211209" caught my eye and I used it to find this line in Jetpack, which I’m guessing you’re using for caching. jetpack/jetpack-related-posts.php at 3bb2b3768e6275ee962557ba8b11031af5254265 · Automattic/jetpack · GitHub

I don’t know the solution from here, but I might try to either reconfigure Jetpack or disable it and use another cache temporarily. You could also get the paid upgrade of Jetpack and then contact Wordpress for support.

P.S. issues like this that seem to turn themselves off and on, on a WordPress site, are almost always cache or asset compilation issues (or both, at the same time! It’s so fun.)

Another question is: Who is your housing provider? Perhaps you could toss the question to them?
