That link takes you to a ‘not found’ page – and aside from that it’s not in English.

I am not getting any lightbox/thickbox to show at all – is there some setting I’m missing in the settings pages?

Everything worked fine to create a gallery on the front page, but when you click on the thumbnails, it just opens the pictures in a blank page.

So nobody had any answers and I guess the reason why not is that it was a server issue with my provider. It seems to be resolved now while I’m still using 2.6.1, so thanks for all your help

You can see that one time the site loaded in 2 seconds. Fantabulous! Next time 20 seconds ??

I tried removing the prototype js from the header and deactivating the wp grins plugin, all of a sudden it loaded in about 3 seconds. But then the next refresh went back to about 24 seconds, so I changed the theme back to the kubrick theme since it doesn’t call those javascripts in the header and I got a 5 second load time. But the next refresh was 25.9 seconds, even though it looks like it should be faster:
Total loading time: 25.9 seconds
Total objects: 9 (101.1 KB)
External objects: 0 (X)
HTML: 2 (29.5KB)
RSS/XML: 0
CSS: 1 (9.6KB)
Scripts: 0 (0KB)
Images: 6 (62KB)
Plugins: 0
Other: 0
Redirected: 0

I’m just not getting this. I think I found the problem because the site will load fast, then it loads slowly again and I figure that I didn’t find the problem.

Yes, j, the blog from my profile. I just tried that link and got 3 seconds – then I got 24 seconds. Then as it went through the site, it said “Processing was stopped because timeout exceeded.”
Thanks for the link.

I am using the wp-cache plugin now as well – although I’m not sure I’ve got the settings done in whatever the best way is, I’m not overly sure what to include in them.

Anyway, 3 seconds loading time is great – 8 seconds is not bad either compared to what was happening. It’s just that there’s this big inconsistency now. Sometimes it may be 3 seconds and sometimes it may be 60 seconds.

I’m trying to learn whether or not anybody sees anything obvious that might be causing this or knows a reason, because it only started once I loaded 2.6 on it.

The results from that link say:

Total loading time: 20.6 seconds
Total objects: 24 (311.7 KB)
External objects: 0 (X)
HTML: 2 (32.2KB)
RSS/XML: 0
CSS: 2 (8.7KB)
Scripts: 5 (194.1KB)
Images: 15 (76.7KB)
Plugins: 0
Other: 0
Redirected: 0

Can anyone tell me what the “objects” are? that looks to be the biggest offender with 24 of them as well as the scripts. Images I’m ok on because I don’t always have anything more than the header/footer images on the site.

The scripts are ones that are included in wordpress I assume, because I didn’t add any scripts. The biggest offenders look to be the prototype js files – whatever they are. Can I remove those? Will it hurt anything on the site?

Hello?

I’ve just upgraded to wp 2.6.1 in case that would help. I also installed the wp cache plugin (in case that would help).

I still have periods of 3 second loading and then periods of 30 second loading. So I don’t know what’s going on.

Can anyone help with this?

Alright, that didn’t work either. It did at the time, but it’s not now. My site is shifting between loading in 3 seconds and loading in 23 seconds.

Although I’ve only put back 4 plugins, nothing is consistent – either with the site or with the admin pages. And I’ve taken off scripts, taken off graphics, even taken off links so that there’s hardly anything on the site except for posts.

I’m at a loss. And my provider keeps telling me that it’s because the WP is calling too many things and slowing it down. I can’t see how that can possibly be the case when I’ve taken so much stuff off the site – stuff that I had loads of with previous versions of WP and it all loaded fine.

Any clues?

Ok, what I did was to deactivate every single plugin, and delete the entire directory of plugins from my site – then remove any code that called the plugins.

All of a sudden my site is loading in normal times – fast even.

I don’t know if the fast loading is a glitch, I guess I’ll find out in days to come. And then I’ll start to load some plugins, one by one, to see if I can find the culprit.

Let me reiterate though, deactivating didn’t do it – I had previously deactivated all plugins and it didn’t speed up. Deleting the plugins seemed to have worked (at least for the moment, we’ll see).

Thanks, Vachi. I put it on the default theme but I didn’t really see a difference with that either. So I don’t know if there’s a problem with the theme… especially considering that I had to wait about 40 seconds for the theme to change, and to write another post.

So if the problem’s on the admin pages too, could it be the theme?

I’m using 2.3 and I just started having this problem now, in the ajax deletion of comments, it looks like it’s deleting, but the comment doesn’t really go away, and on refresh there’s the comment I just deleted.

Is there a fix for this yet? I see it was reported 4 months ago.

Ok, forget about the whole question. Since I can’t get any help, I’ve decided that I don’t really need the plugin anyway, so I’ve taken it off.

I installed the share-this plugin and it was working fine but it would cut off another voting plugin I had (show up in the middle of it) with the automatic positioning.

So I set the auto stuff to false and positioning the code as in the instructions and it still worked great.

The problem I had with that was that when I checked validation it gave me about 40 errors – it said “id” already defined. I had the (div class=”sharethis”)
(?php akst_share_link(); ?)(?php akst_share_form(); ?)(/div) code in my main index template.

I took it out of there and put it into the single.php file and it works fine, of course there are no errors, but what I want is to have it on the main site at the bottom of each post with no errors.

Can anyone help me with how to get it to stop giving me all the id errors? I know id is supposed to be only for one thing, rather than class. I also tried changing the “id” to “class” but that totally screwed up the little box with all the icons.

Thanks very much for any advice.

Ooops – update:

I checked a single page in validation and I got 6 errors, this time (li) errors

Line 194, Column 6: document type does not allow element “li” here; missing one of “ul”, “ol”, “menu”, “dir” start-tag .

• <div class=”alignleft”>« <a href=”https://www.idiotonastick.com/talk?
  The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you’ve placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you’ve forgotten to close a previous element.

  One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as “<p>” or “<table>”) inside an inline element (such as ““, “<span>”, or “<font>”).

Thanks for explaining the #autoXML, Otto. I changed that and everything validates perfectly. I was wondering WTH that laid, since I knew it wasn’t in my stylesheet. Good explanation.
