Activating plugin timeout

    Inside wp-spamshield.php, if the wordpress instance would have many users (like 50000+), then timeout is likely to occur. This is specifically to this code:

    function approve_previous_users() {
			$user_ids = get_users( array( 'blog_id' => '', 'fields' => 'ID' ) );
			foreach( $user_ids as $user_id ) {
				update_user_meta( $user_id, 'wpss_new_user_approved', TRUE );
				update_user_meta( $user_id, 'wpss_new_user_email_sent', TRUE );
			}
			update_option( 'spamshield_init_user_approve_run', TRUE );
		}

    I raised all the timeouts in my machine in order to get this through. This is not really a support request, but a note. If there’s a way to batch all the $user_id and then pass them to mysql in one go it should act faster.

    Thanks for the great plugin

    Hi izeta,

    Thanks for the great plugin

    You’re very welcome!

    Yes, I’m quite familiar with the plugin’s code. ?? Don’t worry…that function is properly coded, and everything is as it should be.

    50,000+ users is quite a large number. To run WordPress properly with that size of a user-base it requires a few key elements:

    1. A sufficiently powered server
    2. Optimized server configuration
    3. An efficient (well-optimized) database.

    (That’s oversimplified, but you get the idea.)

    If you’re having timeout issues, it’s likely that one of these three elements is not quite where it needs to be.

    We put a lot of effort into making sure the plugin’s code is optimized for speed and scalability.

    Unfortunately, if your server is underpowered, your configuration is not fully optimized for performance, or your database bloated, even if we made the changes you suggest, you’re still going to run into timeout issues with a user base of 50,000+.

    We’d be happy to help you out with this issue, but we’d need to know quite bit more about the specifics of your server setup and site functionality. Just head over to the WP-SpamShield Support Page (our main support venue), and submit a support request.

    – Scott
