If I've 5.000 posts or pages? WordPress goes down?

The number of posts and pages are an example.

There’s other sites out there with a whole lot more then 5,000 posts, so no, you won’t have a problem with that.

Hi, not quite sure what your question is but there is no hard limit on the amount of pages or posts you can have. In most websites you would see only ~20 or so posts at a time (category view, or front end list of posts). So even if you have 5,000 posts you aren’t trying to render the content of all 5,000 pages.

If you are wondering if WordPress can handle large sites, simply put yes it can.

Thanks for your answers.

This question because in the latest version (2.x.x) of WordPress I had some problem with the blog. I had ~1.000 posts and the permalink was /%category%/%post-name%. So, the blog crashed and it was very slow.

I know that the structure of the rules has been improved, and I wanted know if now it were possible with the same structure of the permalink.

This question because in the latest version (2.x.x)

WordPress is on 3.7.1 – what version are you using? Outdated versions are a MAJOR security risk.

@wpyogi: In this moment, I use the version 3.7.1

Many months/years ago I had the version 2.x.x. My permalink structure was /%category%/%postname%/ and when I wrote ~1.000 posts, the blog crashed (the rules in the database are increased).

Now I have the version 3.7.1 and I’d like to use WordPress for my content (~ 5.000 post/page/post-type…) with the same permalink structure.
Will I have some problem?

Thanks.

Unlikely. The permalink architecture has been improved and /%postname%/ is now one of the preset options.

Ok perfect. Thanks ??
