• We upgraded to WP4.3 last week, and the site has been running really slow lately. i’ve been through the process outlined here (high cpu load after update), but we continue to have problems.

    This shows up every few minutes in the error logs:

    [24-Aug-2015 01:06:47 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2871012 bytes) in /home3/ineedano/public_html/momcanihavethat/wp-includes/functions.php on line 295

    Any ideas? Line 295 is in the “function is_serialized”.

  • 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.

    I had previously disabled all plugins – this did show improvement. The long pole was trying to enable them one by one and trying to figure out what might be causing the problem. As of now, i am thinking it is a conflict with the W3-Total-Cache. I’ve backed off of all my cache settings except for Page Cache and the site seems stable. I have not re-enabled all of my plugins yet, so there is a chance that some other plugin was causing an issue.
