Hoping that [@lupusmichaelis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lupusmichaelis/) patch can be merged and we’ll have an update soon that is fully compatible with WP 5.7/5.8 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Offload Media Lite for Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, and Google Cloud Storage] SDK Error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sdk-error/) * Thread Starter [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sdk-error/#post-8909867) * Maybe the SDK should simply use a default of us-east when not passed? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WP_MEMORY_LIMIT has no effect / PHP has memory](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_memory_limit-has-no-effect-php-has-memory-1/) * [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_memory_limit-has-no-effect-php-has-memory-1/#post-8509328) * Actually, Don’t remove the define() … you need to add the define AND update the PHP settings. * WP defaults to lowering the memory limit 40M unless WP_MEMORY_LIMIT is defined.

Due to various circumstances, I’m unable to provide specifics at this time. * @valpreston numbers definately help, thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] MAX CPU Usage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/) * [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/page/4/#post-3580907) * [@nicola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicola/).peluchetti Please contact me at nick [at] nick temple dot com and I can provide additional specifics. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] MAX CPU Usage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/) * [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/page/3/#post-3580903) * Unfortunately, we’re seeing memory issues on the front-end as well. It’s causing the site to die with OOM errors even when no one is using the back-end. Raising the memory limit in PHP fixes this, but then … * On a VPS like at Hostgator, when the system overall uses too much memory, the system just kills Apache (as there is no swap). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] MAX CPU Usage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/) * [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/page/3/#post-3580898) * [@mjhale](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjhale/) Well said and much more diplomatically. * The problem happens whenever pages are hit, whether that’s by a spider or a human. * By blocking spiders, you are essentially decreasing traffic your site, which is why it seems to make things better. * However, whenever people hit the problem pages, the plugin still runs out of memory rendering those pages. * Focusing on bots, then, is somewhat of a red-herring – though there is a separate, duplicate content issue with allowing all events to be spidered. * We need to be focusing at the causes of the memory issues. The fact all events are loaded on some pages is a point in the right direction. * Can anyone pinpoint what release changes to the plugin started causing the issues? Maybe looking at what changed could help, or even downgrading to the last known good version? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] MAX CPU Usage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/) * [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/page/3/#post-3580897) * [@nicola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicola/).peluchetti * Thanks, please do add the note about what the code does. Many people, desperate to find a solution (as I am) will blindly copy & paste code without understanding what it does. * In this case, the disclaimer is necessary, as we have many non-technical very creative people reading the forums. * As you said, the problem is not with the bots, it’s with the memory usage of the plugin in part caused by the loading of all posts. * And … I think there is a core memory management issue in the plugin (bug), as this problem was introduced within the last few updates. * I do appreciate the time you’ve spent tracing down the problems, your insights have been very useful in helping me to fix my sites. Thank you. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] MAX CPU Usage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/) * [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/page/3/#post-3580894) * [@nicola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicola/).peluchetti * Completely de-listing your entire site from Google, MSN and Bing by blocking access to their spiders – because of bugs with the event calendar? No, thanks! * Dear reader: please do not use the code above unless you want your site to simply disappear from all major search engines. * -1 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[BracketPress] Update on Other Sports?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-on-other-sports/) * Plugin Author [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-on-other-sports/#post-3651491) * Mark, * Absolutely – we’re working on updates for data, as well as display various sports, and something really special I can’t announce for a few weeks. * I *might* have the NBA done by the 20th 2013; and it’s cutting things close. If not this year, we plan to have a fully line up in 2014. * BracketPress is currently a finalist in the VentureSharks ([http://www.venturesharks.org/](http://www.venturesharks.org/)) competition on May 1st, 2013 – which we’re preparing for. * Assuming BracketPress wins, we’ll be releasing updates pretty quickly, as I’ll be able to work pretty much full-time on the next stage of the project. * If we don’t win, then the updates may take a little longer longer, but are happening. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] MAX CPU Usage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/) * [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/#post-3580845) * Yes, tried that, and it helps a little in that fewer pages are being indexed by search engines (is that really a good thing?!), so fewer requests to the server. * The underlying problem, however, isn’t the number of pages being indexed (“good” bots like google generally are pretty good about not pounding servers). * The core problem is that with the most recent updates, each page is taking way too much memory and CPU to generate individually. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] MAX CPU Usage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/) * [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/#post-3580842) * Same problem here. I have two sites using All-In-One Event Calendar and they taking down the server with CPU usage and out-of-memory errors * I’ll take a look at the spider usage pattern as well, I hadn’t thought of that. * It’s even worse with the Hostgator VPS, because when the max memory is allocated, the system just kills the Apache process, killing _all_ sites on the server. * Can we expect a resolution to the resource issues soon? * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[BracketPress] doesnt work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-184/) * Plugin Author [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-184/#post-7750044) * If a moderator is available, is it possible to move this thread out of reviews and into support? Thanks – Nick * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[BracketPress] Just south](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-south/) * Plugin Author [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-south/#post-3534229) * I’m assuming that you’d like to just display 16 teams, and not all 64. * Is this correct? * For the bracket view, there isn’t an easy solution at moment. The system is currently hardcoded for the 2013 NCAA Division 1 Men’s College basketball tournament, aka March Madness, and is displaying all 64 of the primary teams. * Once the season is over, we plan to go in and update the plugin to work with other tournament types and extend the display options. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[BracketPress] doesnt work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-184/) * Plugin Author [ntemple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntemple/) * (@ntemple) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-184/#post-7750043) * Glad to here that it’s working for you!
