You can simply create a text file and call it php.ini . Make sure the file has the text encoding “Unicode no BOM”, as that will work best for both linux and windows. Use an FTP client to make a new file on the server and that will generate a file with the correct permissions … Read more
Excessive memory used by update_option()
Depending on what exactly you’re trying to achieve, I agree with Tom’s comment, that a WP-CLI command might be better. The advantage is that the command runs from php directly on the server (usually has no max execution time, loads different php.ini, etc.) and you don’t need to involve the webserver. If that is not … Read more
There are approx. 10,000 items returned by the query. That’s your problem right there. No matter what you do inside the loop, WordPress is still loading 10,000 post objects into memory. Batch it up and sprinkle a little magic in your query arguments: $args = array( ‘fields’ => ‘ids’, // MAGIC! Just get an array … Read more
Are you on shared hosting by any chance? Shared hosts tend to limit the max uploadable file size on their end and there is nothing you can add to your scripts to change that. If not, then I am mistaken and this is not the solution you are looking for. However, if you are on … Read more
Three things you need to check. upload_max_filesize, memory_limit and post_max_size in the php.ini configuration file exactly. All of these three settings limit the maximum size of data that can be submitted and handled by PHP. Typically post_max_size and memory_limit need to be larger than upload_max_filesize. This is the function in WordPress that defines the constant … Read more
I think I found what the problem was. WP-Postviews. I deactivated the plugin and removed all code from it on the site and now everything is running smoothly (at least for the last 3 hours).
I had the same problem but it occured while importing the theme-unit-test-data.xml along with its attachments. I am using WP 3.8.1. It’s a WordPress issue so editing the php.ini has no effect. WP uses a hardcoded value (60 secs) for http_request_timeout of WP_Http in class-http.php. To solve it, place this code in functions.php of your … Read more
I think you should use the default class for this job – WP_User_Query. The query have a lot of possibilities, also get the display name. WP_User_Query is a class that allows querying WordPress database tables _users and _usermeta. Also it is helpful when you use a cache for the values. Also here I prefer the … Read more
One thing you can do to help reduce the amount of bloat is add a plugin that controls the number of previous revisions kept for Pages, Posts, etc (preferably one that allows for separate values for each type, such as last 5 revisions for pages and last 20 revisions for posts, or whatever.) There are … Read more
