In reply to: How is this spam getting through?Thanks for trying it out.
I have to admit, I thought I had it relatively well protected, which is why these particular spam comments are frustrating!
The only possible causes I can think of are:
– the language being used affecting posting (seems unlikely)
– the fact I allow users to register (no suspect users on record though)
– some other oversight in the WP code / a plugin (needle in a haystack)Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: How is this spam getting through?Oh yeh, sorry, the top one isn’t spam – just a pingback / trackback.
The rest are spam (most have been deleted, but I kept today’s up for the purposes of this thread).
If it isn’t english, it’s spam.

In reply to: Advanced Caching, Cache Misses?Cache directory is writable, and ENABLE_CACHE defined in wp-config.
I should have mentioned in the original post that the debug stats revealed that around 280 items were in the “warm cache”, proving that the cache is enabled.

In reply to: WordPress Issue: Too many Mysql QueriesWhat about the admin side of things?
(1) I found that the autosave was hammering one of my sites on a shared server, when spending a bit of time writing a post there (maybe half an hour, with some research etc). I’ve never seen a configurable option to turn it off, but it would be a help for sites with query caps. The autosave also seems to fire plugins like the sitemap creation, which means even more queries on the admin side.
I got around it by creating a small plugin to make the autosave timer so large as to effectively disable it, but wouldn’t an admin setting be more appropriate?
(2) Now it’s off, the limit is no longer being reached, but I have still seen a few of what I would call redundant queries on things like the post management pages, particularly regarding the taxonomy.
I upgraded to the latest 2.4 development code to see if any changes had been made, but nothing that I can really spot. I’ve never really looked into the admin side of things, but it could use a bit of a trimming down, and combining of queries.
Example of queries performed on 1 post-new.php load:

In reply to: WP Page to Subdomain?By that I mean a subdomain that I haven’t specifically designated as a subdomain, but is created using wildcards – like WPMU creates subdomain blogs, even though you haven’t gone into your host panel and created one. It’s probably not the right name, it just sounded right. :p
I’m not sure the redirectify plugin will help, although I could be wrong.
Say I create an “about” wordpress page, and it reads as domain.com/about/. I effectively want to make that page accessible from about.domain.com (instead of the original url). Is this what redirectify does? From quickly reading up on it, it looks more like just redirecting from one page to another, whereas I want the page content to be the same, just accessible from a different url.
PS. thanks for your help on this, I appreciate it.

In reply to: Turning WordPress into a businessWell, I guess it all depends on how you view the world of paid reviews and links. I wouldn’t say this concept is any more “sploggy” than a middle-man service like reviewme.
An advertiser can’t just go in and order what they want, since the blogger can easily limit the number of submissions allowed per day / week. Those blogs that take on too many paid posts (for example) will naturally be looked upon as being of lower quality, and so not used by quality advertisers.
Someone just said something that I thinks sums it up very well – the market is more intelligent than any of us. Quality becomes self-evident, and when people see the quality dropping, they will move on. That’s how I view it anyway 🙂

In reply to: WP Page to Subdomain?Thanks, I’ll have a look for it.
I don’t think I have any pages that are the same name as directories though. My only “directories” are the virtual directories that wordpress spits out when creating the pages etc.

In reply to: Turning WordPress into a businessJust wanted to report that I opened the site today. The plugin is completely free and opensource, and very flexible. Take a look at the admin screenshots (link on front page) to view everything it can do:

Any and all feedback would be greatly welcomed at this early stage. I’m confident this can be a viable alternative to sites like ReviewMe, which I view as articifically expensive.

In reply to: WP Page to Subdomain?Meh, the plugin I referenced above isn’t much help. It redirects all categories, without an option to disable them, uses up a tonne of queries, and doesn’t work with WP-Cache.
So, the original question still stands. Anyone know how best to map specific wordpress pages to subdomains?

In reply to: Overload web server with WordPress and 50000 vu/dayRecent posts also uses get_permalink doesn’t it? At least the version I use did. That’s 1 extra query per recent post, which you can get rid of by hard-coding the permalink structure into the plugin, instead of using get_permalink.
But I agree that wp-cache is the way to go. I use it (not that I need it yet) and it does make loading lightening fast, even on a shared server.
