I’ve spent a lot of time in the server logs and I’ve attributed this to a DDOS attack. What finally worked for me was the free plugin “Protection against DDoS”. Setting the redirect to 127.0.0.1 turned them away.
During the bad times, I was taking 50,000 hits a day from over 100 countries to the xmlrpc.php and wp-login.php files. It’s now down to 50,000 hits per week. Fhis plugin disabled the xmlrpc feature and requires a cookie from my site to load up the wp-login.php page. (redirects to 127.0.0.1 if the cookie doesn’t exist, so they hammer themself).

Same trouble here…

When I edit a page it created a bunch of HTTP tasks that maxes out memory, maxes out I/O, but the processor is just rolling at 15% same as always.

What fixes this is to toggle the PHP version from 7.4 to 7.3, and then back to 7.4 on the CPANEL.

While this is happening, the server is unavailable for use.

I believe this started with the upgrade to 7.4.

Thoughts?

Good to hear!

Here’s a change I notice while fixing another issue. It looks like deprecation is happening with crewate_function and this change seems to make it better…

class-post-notif-widget.php, line 276.

//add_action( ‘widgets_init’, create_function( ”, ‘register_widget(“Post_Notif_Widget”);’ ) );

add_action ( ‘widgets_init’, ‘Post_Notif_init_Widget’ );
function Post_Notif_init_Widget() {
return register_widget(‘Post_Notif_Widget’);
}

This workaround fixed our issue as well, thanks.
