Maximum number of pages?

  • Is there a maximum number of *pages* (not posts) I can insert into a wordpress site?

    The site had about 10 pages on it. I ran a script we developed here to insert about another 1000-2000 pages of content from a series of text files we had. After inserting the pages the site shows up blank – no homepage.

    It seems odd to me that there would be such a limit. It also seems a bit odd to me that the site simply doesn’t display at all after the insert, since the pages were only inserted into the database and don’t affect (directly at least) the homepage.

    I suppose it could be some of the data I inserted causing the problem. But then I’m not sure how that would cause the site not to function at all (a blank site).

  • I’ve not hit a page limit yet. But then I’ve not has a 2000 page WP site either. If it was me, I’d suspect the data insertion. It might be better to wipe the table and start again but insert (say) 30 pages at a time until you’re sure that the insertion script isn’t causing a problem.

    Hi,

    There is no page creation limit in the wordpress..but I have a doubt about the database as wordpress stores data in the tables..so wipe the table and insert pages in a batch of 15-20 pages..and have a check…after each insertion..

    Thanks,

    I’ve known mysql dbs hold literally millions of records (although I understand that performance does start to drop when you reach those levels). So I doubt that a mere few thousand would cause a problem. But a mass data insertion could easily trash a table.

    Hey Shane G., or anyone…

    You stated that there is “no page creation limit” for WP. Are you absolutely certain of that, and if so where did you obtain that information — your post is the only place that I could find any info to that effect, and this is crucial for me to decide if I can create a WP site with unlimited pages…..

    Thanks,
