Various 4.3 issues and beyond

    Hey everyone,

    I’ve been playing around with 4.3 since its release and have experienced a variety of not-so great results. Wanted to see if anyone else has a similar experience.

    As mentioned across several other threads, switching to 4.3 has brought on a huge increase in httpd processes to the point where my site just repeatedly crashed. I stumbled upon the “fix” suggestion here (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-cpu-load-after-update-to-v43?replies=17#post-7330770) but have experienced no change over the past 30 minutes.

    When I can get 4.3 to work, I arrive at 502 errors the majority of the time I visit pages in wp-admin, and for some reason wp-cron has shut down. Even in reverting back to previous versions of WP I’m still now getting wp-cron shutdown and wp-admin 502s here and there. I’ve tried removing plugins, caches, and tested multiple themes including Twenty Fifteen. No dice.

    Anyone else experiencing other issues of this variety? Much thanks 🙂

    Have you tried:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.
    – switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). If you don’t have access to your admin area, use FTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides. Navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder by adding “-old” to the end of the folder name. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.
    – If all the above steps do not resolve the issue, then try MANUAL updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old copies of files & folder on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
    -If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.
