About to give up on WordPress

Sounds like something’s very wrong. How is your site hosted and how are you accessing it?

Hi Steven,

Thank you for the reply.

So I have a specific WP Hosting package with Fasthosts, I have several other none WP sites with them too.

I can access Cpanel via their site for SFTP access to files.

On a day to day basis I access via /wp-admin in a current firefox browser.

Thanks

Martyn

Hello Martyn,

Sorry for the trouble you are facing, but believe me WordPress is not at all bad and it is very useful as far as features as considered.

Like Steven said, I would recommend checking once with Hosting provider as may be it can be the culprit.

Or else try WordPress with fresh install and default theme as see if problem persist.

Let us know your thoughts and we would be happy to help you.

Thanks.

My thoughts are…

WordPress is immensely capable and can be used to build almost any type of website you might wish but it’s not for everyone.

I checked this topic out hoping I could help you but my hands are tied here. You didn’t provide a link to your site or any information about the actual problem you are having so I’m sitting here with a box of tools ready to help yet nothing to do… nothing to look at and little idea of what you might actually need.

CSV imports are not a Core WordPress function.
You may want to ask for advice from the specific plugin author / community in addition to following Steve’s recommendations regarding checking your hosting environment, etc.

Hi all

Thank you all for your replies.

The theme provider has now logged in and cleaned up some of the dodgy code as well as some layout issues, Pleased with that.

The main issues now are:

Site load time of the site and moving around

wp-admin is painfully slow to use clicking any ‘doing’ links seems to result in a minimum of a 5 minute process and watching the little whirring circle for ages.

Importing CSV via Woocommerce is a virtual nonstarter.

In all this I am comparing to my HTML/CSS sites and experiance.

Site is at Savvyspaces.co.uk
Hosted on a specific WP package at Fasthosts. space 97% free, Database 100% free

Thanks

Martyn

Hello Marty,

Thank you for providing the details.

Happy to know that theme provider cleaned up so that it could be bit better.

Further my analysis says that your page is heaving with around total page size of 2+ MB which can be somehow reduce and also your have integrated a Caching plugin which might have some configuration issue which can be the reason of the issue.

Last but not the least in such cases servers do play important role, so if you can contact host and try to increase the resource I think it will improve the speed.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Thought I would provide an update several months on..

So Wp-admin is still painfully slow to use and it seems Fasthosts are not so fast! heavy on the sales pitch but massively under deliver.

I will migrate away once the dev is finished.

A very steep learning curve from dreamweaver and not convinced it is actually any better, certainly not quicker but maybe that is the knowledge gap.

Thanks for the help as always, nearly ready to launch once the Pay stuff is sorted!
