Problems related to today’s update, March 18 2017
-
I signed-in to my site this morning and saw a notice that an update was available for wp-Typography. I clicked-on the update link, and it said it was updated. My site now shows that it has version 4.1.0 installed.
But, I no longer have the plug-in activated following several problems. I lost access to the site for 4 or 5 hours, as the CPU usage was running from 95%-100% for that long. My web host ran a check to see if I’d been hacked but I had not. Finally this evening at 17:28 I got a notice via email that a long list of wp-typography files on my site had been changed. I found I now could get back into my site, but that it was loading pages very, very slowly.
I disabled WP-Typography and my load times dropped to more reasonable numbers, in the 2-3 second range (as shown in the page source code, as time stamped by wp-super-cache). But if I re-activate WP-Typography, my page load times jump to 15-24 seconds, which is unacceptable. So I have now disable the plug-in.
