The issue is caused by this 2-year-old bug that’s still not resolved, even though the solution is a one-liner. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25449

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Radio button doesn't have "required field" settingThanks, but any reason it can’t just have a proper required field setting? Can it be a feature request?

In reply to: [Mentionable] Support for multiple words?Any way to make it more natural? Sort of the way Facebook does autocomplete and supports spaces? Maybe basically enter an article linking mode unless you break out of it by moving away, pressing escape, etc.
Sounds like a good bug fixer to implement 🙂
Hi Mike,
Well, there are quite a few of these links. If push came to shove, I would have just removed the domain from the list and restored the custom code I put in to skip adding nofollow to certain domains (though I’d need to code it up again since I wiped them after updating to the latest).
I’m also envisioning more sister sites springing up in the future. I may not be the only one wishing for some flexibility here. At least, I’d like to think so.

In reply to: [SEO Smart Links] 3.0 (and 3.0.1) update destroys performance and kills site@vladimir I appreciate the suggestion, but I’m not sure if pointing to a paid plugin where caching masks the problem is really better than trying to fix the queries the are terrible for performance. When cache gets busted, I’m not convinced it wouldn’t create spikes on the database server.
Either way, I think premium plugins should offer value added benefits, and a situation where a free plugin causes sites to go down hard is not where you should be upselling. Add the cache to the core plugin, optimize it for performance, don’t make the users who are trying out the plugin suffer. They’ll buy your premium version for features.

In reply to: [WP Gfycat] Add support for embed width and heightActually, I coded this up myself. Here’s the patch:

Correct, I’ve been running it ever since. It’s working relatively well, and definitely resolves this major bug. But object caching itself is still wonky sometimes, like when stickying posts, for example. It’s like the cache doesn’t get updated/dumped for a longer period of time. I usually run without object caching because of that, saves me a lot of headaches. Only turn it back on when things get really heated up with traffic.

In reply to: [JSON API] Update: Upgrade breaks API pathOK, I figured it out.
The flopping occurred because we use a plugin called wptouch (very popular plugin for mobile themes), and in that plugin, there’s a Compatibility section that allows us to dynamically disable plugins on the fly, so that they don’t run and use up CPU/db cycles when the mobile theme is active. JSON API was one such checkbox, so it was being dynamically disabled on every mobile hit.
However, functions.php is loaded on every hit, mobile or not. So sometimes, it would write new rewrite rules with JSON API ones and sometimes it’d be as if JSON API was never installed, and its rules would be missing.
As soon as I unchecked the JSON API in the list of plugins to disable in wptouch, the flopping stopped.
Phew. Hope this helps someone in the future. I’m still not sure why a possible JSON API upgrade might break rewrite rules, but I bet it’s something similar, if it’s really what happens.
