Well it matters some, but yes in my experience, this is what most people only concern themselves with. Hosting companies know what sells and what confuses people. People can easily understand what *unlimited* disk space and bandwidth means, but will be confused when you try to start explaining to them the server’s CPU allocation. They want customers and a confused mind always says no.

To answer your question though, if you truly do have unlimited on those things, that means you theoretically upload any amount of videos on your site you want (disk space).

You could also have your videos streamed and viewed an unlimited amount of times (bandwidth).

Problem could be…

Bandwidth and CPU usage are close relatives. CPU usage comes into effect when your website has to work extra hard because of your traffic (or something your site is doing) which causes lots of CPU usage, usually all at one time.

Imagine trying to run 12 different programs on your home at the same time. What might happen?

Your computer might lock up or everything will run REALLY slow.

Your site is hosted on a computer with lots of other websites. You don’t own 100% of the CPU, John Doe next to you needs some too. So your site can only use so much at one time and then it must wait.

Make sense? Or do I need more coffee? ??

Not sure about the categories.

However, on your first method, how did you download your files from the original server? Did you use the hosting’s zip and download function?

If so, make sure you zipped up and downloaded ALL the files. Sometimes in your hosting control panel (depending on which host) only so many files are in view and therefore can be “Check All” at once.

Widgets.php is at the bottom of the list, maybe that file was on page two in your file manager and was never included in the zip and downloaded file?

Just a though.

Undo whatever changes you did and deactivate the plugin. That should at least bring you to square one.

Dave, be real careful with your database. Before you go poking around while not knowing anything about it, make sure you back up your database. I have a video on my site on how to do this.

Second, don’t click on the Optimize Table. I did it once and it crashed my blog. Only do that if you know what you’re doing.

If your host is saying you’re site is overdoing your alloted CPU usage quota, that could mean a few things. It could mean a ton of people have come to your site all at once and are clicking around.

You might not go over your alloted bandwidth, but remember, each time someone clicks something on your “WordPress” site, there are calls to the database. In order to do anything, the server’s CPU must be called.

Most hosts only allow your website so much CPU time. If you go over, they lock you out. One of our customers had the exact same problem. She hosted with BlueHost and they only allowed her 4% cpu time. The problem was, she got a decent amount of traffic to her site in single shots, so her blog overworked the server’s CPU (you can read her issue on our customer’s testimonial page).

If you’re having issues with CPU time, you really only have a couple choices.

1. Upgrade to a Virtual/Dedicated server
2. Move to another host with less CPU restriction

You can try Super-Cache, that might help, but it might not..?

Good luck.

Hard to say. Make sure you did the transfer correctly. I have some videos on a tutorial page showing how to transfer WordPress.

I assume since you can see your home page you updated your config.php file with the correct database info?

Make sure too that your widgets.php file was transfered over.

You could try pasting in your ad’s code at the bottom of your header.php file.

Go to Appearance, Editor, on the right you’ll see header.php, click it.

Scroll down to the bottom of the file and paste in your code. To center it, use the <center> </center> tags.

Make sure your plugins are uploaded correctly.

For example, some plugins require you to upload an entire folder to the /plugins directory while others only require you to upload 1 .php file.

I believe that would give you the same problem (doesn’t matter which page it’s one, it matters which server and hosting account it’s on).

You might look into that amazon service. I’m not a video guru, you might ask them some of these questions.

To get the video over to figaro, you could upload it to YouTube temporarily and then he could download the file from there (there are free programs out there that will allow you to save YouTube video files to your computer).

Once he has it, you can delete it from YouTube.

Good luck guys.

I’ve never used them before, but there is a paid service for hosting videos which is getting great reviews:

Amazon Simple Storage Service:
https://aws.amazon.com/s3/

I think it’s relatively inexpensive and you can host your own videos there. Then you could simply embed your videos on to your website just like you do with YouTube.

I would say if you’re thinking of putting a lot of video on your website/local server, you might want to reconsider. Remember, your site only has so much CPU time and resources allocated to it on your hosting server.

If you host a lot of videos and a ton of people are clicking them, that’s a lot of load on your website which in turn will cause your site to work REALLY slow. And when that happens, people click away.

Hi Secret Chimp.

I use the Evermore Plugin. Works well. I like how you can tell it to show X number of paragraphs, too.

You can see how it works on my blog if you want:

Let me know if you have any questions,

Looks like some sort of spam to me. Why don’t you try just deleting the code and then installing some security enhancements to your WP installation.

Hi juliefraser, not sure if you resolved this problem, but here’s what to do.

Log into WordPress and in the left sidebar you should see the Appearance menu. Click the Editor link. Then on the right you should see a list of your Theme’s files.

Look for the one that says Footer.php and click it.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and just above the ending </body> tag paste your code in.

Wait a day or so and your analytics should be working just fine.

Hope that helps.

John
