The type below core/image is what’s registered in the the Gutenberg block API, is there something similar in the Genesis plugin? * * // figure/figcaption //figure/img/@alt * * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] Database Growing – _wc_session](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-growing-_wc_session/) * [John Dao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiggerlu/) * (@tiggerlu) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-growing-_wc_session/#post-4046171) * I’ve been investigating this issue for months, our wp_options table is in the gigabytes now. * The problem is WooCommerce isn’t cleaning up after itself, and it’s related to the cron job not running. So easiest way to check is if you can run wp-cron.php from the outside (http), in my case we had accidentally blocked the port. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Mobile Pack - Mobile Plugin for Progressive Web Apps & Hybrid Mobile Apps] Plugin conflicts with WooCommerce; resulting in massive database writes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflicts-with-woocommerce-resulting-in-massive-database-writes/) * Thread Starter [John Dao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiggerlu/) * (@tiggerlu) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflicts-with-woocommerce-resulting-in-massive-database-writes/#post-5141933) * Apologies for the late reply – can you confirm if WPMP does update the WP Options table? * Is this sql query related to WP MP? * UPDATE `wp_options` SET `option_value` = ‘172755726’ WHERE `option_name` = ‘wpmp_switcher_hits_desktop * UPDATE `wp_options` SET `option_value` = ‘172755726’ WHERE `option_name` = ‘wpmp_switcher_hits_mobile * I’m also confused why it would initiate so many database writes, when a WooCommerce setting (any setting) is saved, and WooCommerce only. * When i de-activated WPMP (de-active via Plugins menu), the database writes still occur. Do i need to remove the entire plugin from the file system? * Thanks for any help. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Better WordPress Minify] admin-bar](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bar-15/) * [John Dao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiggerlu/) * (@tiggerlu) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bar-15/#post-4553081) * Hi Khang Min – i’m having the same issue, running WordPress 3.9 and the admin bar shows up at the bottom of the site whether i’m logged it or not. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Plugin is causing massive slowdown and CPU load](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-causing-massive-slowdown-and-cpu-load/) * Thread Starter [John Dao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiggerlu/) * (@tiggerlu) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-causing-massive-slowdown-and-cpu-load/#post-4273081) * Hi Nicola, * In this case that seemed to have been the issue – of course at the time i wasn’t sure, so I whipped out load-testing tools, PHP profilers and mysql debuggers lol. * But really all i had to do was to normalize the scope of the query from 500 days( might as well be infinite) to something reasonable like 50-100 event objects. * Thanks for your quickly reply, and best of luck. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Plugin is causing massive slowdown and CPU load](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-causing-massive-slowdown-and-cpu-load/) * Thread Starter [John Dao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiggerlu/) * (@tiggerlu) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-causing-massive-slowdown-and-cpu-load/#post-4272995) * Hi Nicola, * I’m running the latest version of pro, and the site seems to bog down when I have the sidebar widget fetch events in the past “500” days. Changing this to only the last 30 events drastically helps, but obviously it’s a compromise. * I have 169 events in the DB with W3 Total Cache already running, so not that many at the moment. For the time being this seems to be a good stop-gap measure. * 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/) * [John Dao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiggerlu/) * (@tiggerlu) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/page/5/#post-3580949) * Thanks for your quick reply Nicola – that makes sense to me because whatever is happening, the number of php seem almost exponential with the number of events, and yet the DB load remains quite manageable. * I had pages that pulled 500 event objects and that was a real problem, when i reduced the number of objects to 50 then it was fine. * So the link you sent is for the free standard version, what about the pro version? * Cheers, Luyen * 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/) * [John Dao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiggerlu/) * (@tiggerlu) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/page/5/#post-3580947) * Been researching this issue for a client who’s using the pro version of this plugin. Whether 1 event or 200 events are displayed in a sidebar, it overloads the CPU and calls the apply_filters() function around 2000 times on each page. * I’m trying to track down by this is happening, as the bottle-neck appears to be entirely in code, and no front-end or SQL performance is affected. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[wp-FileManager] Good plugin for admins / publishers.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-for-admins-publishers/) * Thread Starter [John Dao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiggerlu/) * (@tiggerlu) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-for-admins-publishers/#post-7781528) * Thanks for your plugin first of all – * I understand that it shows all files in your filesystem that makes total sense. * But i don’t understand why it’s showing (logged in as admin) all the files in my sidebar when i haven’t enabled the widget for it? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Need advice: Trying to import posts and terms as XML files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-advice-trying-to-import-posts-and-terms-as-xml-files/) * Thread Starter [John Dao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiggerlu/) * (@tiggerlu) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-advice-trying-to-import-posts-and-terms-as-xml-files/#post-3766159) * Thanks Seacoast – i have a general idea what to do, just lacking the precise methodology. * Should i do the join in MS SQL Server first or is there a way to merge the exported XML files based on some relationship criteria? * This is the part i’m not sure about, which way is better, and if the latter what tools are used. * Thanks again. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Need advice: Trying to import posts and terms as XML files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-advice-trying-to-import-posts-and-terms-as-xml-files/) * Thread Starter [John Dao](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiggerlu/) * (@tiggerlu) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-advice-trying-to-import-posts-and-terms-as-xml-files/#post-3766149) * A .NET CMS called Ektron, so running on MS SQL Server – could i do a JOIN in SQL and merge the two tables in question together?
