PMPro Woocommerce addon adds 5 seconds to EVERY page load on my site

P.S. This problem appears to be a byproduct of the following change in version 1.4
“BUG/FIX: Moved CSS load to proper WordPress action hook”

Backtracked to Plugin version 1.3.1, which is the latest, and the problem goes away.

Where to get the Plugin v1.3.1?

When I backtrack from 1.4 to 1.3.1 and go to the join screen, the following error occurs:
“A Payment Gateway must be set up before any payments will be processed.”

Now I can’t have new members.

This is entirely unsatisfactory and needs to be fixed ASAP. If it can’t be fixed, I may have to switch to Woocommerce subscriptions.

Download from the plugins page, on the developers tab. Click on the version at the bottom that you want to download:

This is a HUGE problem because the delay in loading pages cause MASSIVE cpu utilization on my site approaching 100%. This problem MUST be fixed soon.

FURTHER TROUBLESHOOTING:
1. The Plesk php setting for “open_basedir” was set to: “{WEBSPACEROOT}{/}{:}{TMP}{/}”.
2. Changing it to “none” or “{DOCROOT}{/}{:}{TMP}{/}” or “/” did not fix the problem with version 1.4.

Server config:
1. Plesk Onyx update 18.
2. Windows server 2012 R2.
3. All latest updates and patches installed.

Please fix ASAP!

The settings in the wp_config.php file related to this:

“/** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);”

I can also confirm and supply evidence that this particular add on is now vastly increasing load times since recent update.

1. Upgraded to version 1.4.1, which is one version beyond the version with the problem.
2. Problem STILL persists.

Please fix asap.

P.S.

Implemented the fix suggested in the following link on version 1.4.1 and it fixes the problem.

Hi Sunspot,

As mentioned above, for me 1.4.1 still used the old code. I have been manually editing the file myself since I posted my concerns.

The above fix:
1. Reduces my page load times from 11 seconds to 3 seconds.
2. Dramatically lowers the cpu utilization on my server.

Please fix this ASAP. PmPro!

Thanks for the update.

OH MY GOD. It took me 8 hours today to track this down. My site was taking THIRTY SECONDS to load. THIRTY. Once I used the fix above on GitHub (God bless you for that!), my page load speed is down to 7 seconds.

Yeah. that needs to be fixed.
