Timeouts when posting and updating

    When I first installed WordPress on two of my sites it worked fine, but shortly after I started getting timeouts when making posts or editing & saving existing posts.

    If I save a post as a draft it behaves normally, but when I publish it hangs for a long time before eventually settling on a blank screen. But the post gets published and appears normally; I’m just not being directed back to whatever page I’m supposed to be.

    This also happens when I edit a published post and save it. But the changes are made and saved and appear as they should.

    Any idea what the problem might be? Server issue? A problem with the post.php file?

    You don’t say what version you are on.

    But if you have not changed the software then maybe the host has changed something. Ask them – they’ll say “No not us” then ask them again 🙂

    I’m running 2.0.2.

    Might have a look at Options -> Writing. Does you “white page” issue go away if you temporarily clear the “Update Services” field?

    I cleared the update services, and the subsequent page loads right up.

    Does that mean I have too many services listed there? I do have quite a few…

    Well, either too many or one of them isn’t responding in a timely fashion…

    Google around a bit, there’s a plugin that will run those in the background so as not to “hang” the blog. Darned if I can recall the name right now…
