installing slows website

Ok, I’ll try to find a point where I can start to guess.

In the meanwhile, it would be great if you could post some details about your server configuration (web server software, php and mysql version and stuff like that). It might be an incompatibility with another plugin as well, so if its not too much asked for, a list of your active plugins could be helpful.

Webserver info:
PHP Version: 5.4.24
OS: Linux
Apache Version: 2.2.27
MySQL: 5.5.37
Wordpress: 3.9.1

I can PM you my plugin list if you like.

I tried to find anything that looks like a bottleneck on a system similar to yours, with the default theme, lots of posts, images and even comments.

Profiling showed a max difference of about 0.5 seconds for the plugin being active or not on the front-end.

Before we dive deeper into your system, analyzing your other plugins etc., we can try some patching to exclude CWX Project from the front-end completely.

I hope you’re able to edit PHP files … You can edit the following locally and then upload it, or edit directly on the server …

Open ‘plugins/cwx-project/cwx-project.php’ in an editor and go to line 186 insert a new line and enter the following on the new line (187)
if(!is_admin()) return;

The result should look like so:

// register_uninstall_hook(__FILE__, array('self', 'uninstall'));

		if(!is_admin()) return; // <- new code you inserted

		add_action('plugins_loaded', array($this, 'updateCheck'));

Save the changes and see what happens after activating the plugin.

Please let me know if this fixes your issue or not.

Same issues here :/

PHP: 5.5.14
MySQL: 5.5.28

Did you try the patch above?

Seems to be working – no more delays in the backend!
But whre do I find the settings of the plugin?

This is a pure Dashboard Widget. Everything is there (with one exception, the task assignment on post/page/etc. editors). So the Settings can be opened with the cog-wheel button on the bottom of the widget.

Oh, ok. So I have to give users access to my dashboard? I would like to prevent this.
Thanks for the quick troubleshooting, anyway ??

I’m sorry, but this plugin might not be what you were looking for. I guess you want something like https://www.watchmanadvisors.com/to-do-list-member-wordpress-plugin/.

CWX Project is meant for site owners, staff, contributors and so on, so everyone knows what to do and when.
