Error 409 – Contact Form scripts and styles not loading - php

I have been pulling my hair out over the last couple days trying to figure this issue out. Feels like i’ve tried everything, so i’m finally resorting to here. All of a sudden, the contact forms on my site just stopped working. The AJAX feature doesn’t work and there’s a red border under all my contact forms, which is the red border for the error message. When I view the console, a number of errors show up, with resources that are failing to load, all of which are scripts and styles that the plugin depend on to actually work.
But the issue is quite strange, because the forms only stop working when I am connected to a particular network. I have two Wi-Fi networks at home and when I connect to one, the forms work perfectly and when I connect to the other, it breaks. It led me to believe that it was a caching issue so I did the following:
Cleared my browser cache
Cleared the WordPress cache
Contacted Hostgator to clear the server cache
Reset both my routers
Even went as far as doing ipconfig /flushdns in command prompt as I saw someone suggest that, because they were having the exact same issue.
None of that worked, and even though I know that the issue isn’t with the theme or conflicting plugins, I still
Deactivated all the plugins besides Contact Form 7 to see if that would fix the issue
Switched from my theme to the default WordPress theme
Reverted to an older version of Contact Form 7 (ver. 5.1.6 as this is the version I have on another site, also hosted on Hostgator, that works perfectly.)
Unfortunately, none of this worked either. I am assuming the problem has to be on either my end or on Hostgator’s end, because I have sent the link to other people who are not on my network, and they don’t have an issue. The forms work as they should. I am really not sure what’s causing this so I am hoping someone would be able to give me some suggestions or support please
Hostgator hasn’t helped me. They checked to see if my IP was blacklisted or something and it wasn’t, and like I said, they cleared the server cache and still nothing. What do I do? After researching the issue on my own, I've realized that this is a problem many people face with Contact Form 7 and Hostgator/Bluehost, but I haven't found a proper solution yet...
UPDATE: Apparently the issue arises because of the word "contact" being in both the URL and the scripts/styles/images? That's the weirdest thing i've ever heard of, but apparently that's the issue? I had a banner image on my site named "contact-bg.jpg" that wouldn't load, got a 409 error for that as well. I changed the name of it to "get-in-touch-bg.jpg" and it loaded just fine. Unfortunately changing the slug from contact-us to get-in-touch didn't work. Is there a way to completely change the name of the contact form 7 plugin, removing the word contact from all the files and still have the plugin work?? See this question: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 409

So, seems like this issue had nothing to do with plugins or the theme or anything. Apparently it had to do with my IP address and my webhost blacklisting my IP for some reason. I had to contact them and have them whitelist it in order for the contact forms to start working properly. This probably wouldn't work for everyone/wouldn't be the case for everyone, but it worked for me.

404 For me only

I am trying to install the forums software - Xenforo.
I uploaded every single file. However, it comes back a Cpanel default page (Future home of something quite cool).
And when I want to visit xxx.php page, it comes a 404 error.
I tried to clear the cache and cookies on Microsoft Edge and Chrome. Even a clean Firefox is still not working.
When I contacted Godaddy Support, they said that at their end my site is working. My PC and phone are not working as well even they are in different network provider.
I can just come here for HELP!!!! Thank you.
You should try clearing your cache or using an incognito browser.
There are great people over on the Xenforo Community Forums that can help you out with the installation.

Gravity Forms causing 403 error on home page only

So I've just moved a Wordpress site to a new hosting provider, and the strangest thing is happening..
I have a contact form (the same contact form) at the bottom of each page on the site, each page loads fine, except for the home page. If I try and load the home page, I get a 403 Permission denied error. If i disabled the plugin, or remove the form from that page, it loads fine.
I suspect it might be a permissions issue but I have no idea where to even start looking. Everything else on the site works fine.
It's Gravity Forms btw.
Also, I know this might not be the right place to ask but I'm at my wits end here trying to work this out.
So after going through some logs etc i discovered it was php mod_security that was triggering on a false positive on an iframe that gravity forms was producing. Still not sure why it was only happening on the home page though.
I contacted the hosting provider and asked them why it was happening and they just advised they'd turn it off. Which they did and it's working fine now. If anyone wants to add anything to this please do.
Check your wordpress options table. Your old site link is still there, as it seems. Replace it with new one.

Product is not getting saved/updated from Magento admin panel

It was working and suddenly it stopped saving/updating the product data from Magento admin panel and it keep showing loading please find screenshot. While inspecting the cause of error it response in console is -
{"error":false}
<style>
body {border:10px solid red;}
</style>
Not able to find what is the cause of error also saw this question in Stackoverflow but it does not able to solve my issue. Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
I had a similar problem. I disabled mod_secure to resolve the problem.
This problem could be solved in one way:
1. Try a different browser
This fixed the problem for me, as I was using Firefox 3.6 (OS X) to access the admin backend, and switching to Safari 5 (I’m guessing Safari 4 would work also) fixed the issue. I tested this on IE7 (WinXP) and it also worked.
2. Disable mod_security and add whitelist
Check your mod_security audit log and if you see entries from the admin backend, have your host investigate and temporarily disable the module. If your issues goes away, ask your host to whitelist your admin backend.
3. Check your www vs. no www redirects
Make sure you’re only using one form of redirection, either in cPanel, Magento, or .htaccess. See this post for in-depth instructions.
For more information please see the article http://maxrice.com/magento-fixing-please-wait-error-adding-editing-products-categories/
Hope these help!
Please note, issue appear only when website works under https and when I used single html tags like <img />.

ReCaptcha not displaying on browser

I ran into a weird problem today. I was trying to implement the new ReCaptcha v2 into my website and it works fine. I tested it on all computers at home however on only 1 of them it decided not to work. It gave me a:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE
My site is by default served over HTTPS but I checked and that's not the issue. This because I tried to load the same page without HTTPS but it still gave the same error. The weird thing however is that all the other devices at home I tested it on just worked fine.
So what could be the issue that this one computer isn't working?
If you need specific details about that one computer just ask.

My Google App Engine Wordpress Site is returning response code 500 out of nowhere

I haven't made any changes at all to my Wordpress install of Google App Engine site and now it won't display any content (except for the home page).
Any time I request a page, it loads the page structure, but not the content and in the logs, it shows a response 500.
I assume this means it can't connect to the database, but I have no idea how to test for this, and because we have the bronze plan, there is no customer service. So even though I haven't made any changes, my site is essentially down, but I have no idea what changed or why.
Can anyone help point me to what I should look for? Or any resources to help?
Here is the site: http://www.simonsaysgive.org/who-we-are/our-mission-and-vision
Thanks!

This seemed to resolve the issue, though I wouldn't call it a fix.
shut down all running instances (there were 2)
flush memcache
Then site was magically running again.
I did also tweet to #googlecloud and they've opened a ticket for me. I'll add it if they find uncover any causes/fixes.
