In reply to: implement the WordPress login using SDK in androidHopefully you are onto your way to solving some issues, out of the box, WordPress doesn’t have Oauth provider support for remote applications. However there are a couple of plugins that provide such support including https://wordpress.org/plugins/oauth2-provider/
Also the wp-api.org has support as a bundled separate plugin to create an oauth tokens for authorisation with the API.
If you don’t need full authorisation, and are simply looking for identity of a user, then you can look at using OpenID as an alternative.

In reply to: First Time Byte DataHopefully you are well on the road to working out some optimisations, FTtB while an important metric is also quite a hard one to diagnose on it’s own, but a combination of tweaks to your web server, database server, your caching layer, object cache (are you using redis/memcached?) will all have an effect as will using a better DNS server, the infrastructure your server is sitting on.
So when you say is really slow, how slow?

In reply to: WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for queryHopefully you have gotten this sorted, however if not the error appears to be generated because of an issue in a plugin do you have Network-Latest-Posts plugin installed? If so this seems to be the cause of the issue, you might be best asking for help in the plugins own support forum.

In reply to: shortcode within shortcode problemWithout looking at the code or the site I will go out on a limb and say one of your shortcodes is not using the Shortcode API and is trying to do it’s own regex which due to a change in the way the Shortcode API works in recent versions of WordPress means that some badly coded plugins and themes shortcodes fail (the good news is that it means malicious users can no longer trick your site into doing bad things).
so first step, update to the latest plugins and theme if you haven’t already done so, the next step is to track down which offending shortcode is causing the issue. I’m going to generalise here and while their are some excellent theme developers out there, if your theme provides shortcodes that would be where I would start.
Once you have worked out which is causing the issues contact the developers, it seems you have already reached out to the theme developers so if it is the themes shortcode causing issue, you might want to look for an alternate plugin that offers the same functionality or consider a new theme.

In reply to: WordPress AWS EC2 LB High AvailabilityThe answer is yes there are going to be numerous folks who have worked with AWS and WordPress across multiple EC2 instances using either ELB and HAProxy including myself.
Perhaps a better approach is simply to ask your questions and then folks can chime in.
If however you are looking for specific consultancy then take a look at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

In reply to: I Hate Your New Plugins Grid Display Format!!!The reason Jan was asking, is the new layout is suppose to be “better” for when you are searching for a specific plugin, so if you are supply exact name and it;s not showing up in the first couple of results then there maybe an issue that hasn’t been spotted.
So while the feedback on the new layout has been taken on board and will along with other feedback, help shape future iterations, you may have also to add to your woes potentially found a bug so we would like to investigate that as well.

In reply to: Hundreds of Blog Ads on Site Some are XXX Need to Block TheseHey folks, please don’t use modlook, unless you feel an action is needed that can only be taken by a moderator, otherwise you just get a grumpy moderator turning up.

In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] confirmation mail [message]Hi there
Just a polite note, please don’t use modlook tag as a means to simply get someone to answer your question. Please only use it where you feel a moderator needs to take an action only a moderator could.Several moderators monitor the tag, and our aim is to respond as quickly as possible, this means we probably have stopped doing something to jump to action.
As a side note, because I have written this reply, your post will no longer show in the no-reply list, meaning its less likely to receive attention sorry about that, though the plugin author should still see it.

In reply to: sidebar: old script showing after ftp new oneAS mentioned before, if you are not doing the caching then most likely its your host, so best chatting to them. If you look in the response headers you should be able to see what is caching, be it Varnish or similar for example.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: sidebar: old script showing after ftp new oneIf you yourself are not using any caching, or using a service like cloudflare, then it could well have been your host, a lot of the managed WordPress hosting companies use Varnish and similar under the hood. Glad its working.

In reply to: [Hueman] Primary Sidebar ProblemJust to emphasis, bumping a post is self defeating, many members and moderators look at the “no-replies” thread, to help spot people who haven’t been replied to. If you bump your post then it’s been replied to.
So by bumping a post you are reducing your chance of it being spotted. So the nice person who deleted your bump was doing you a favour.

In reply to: How to: registration and loginIf you have a forum or community plugin installed then it will probably come with registration and login options, if not then consider the forum side first and see if it doesn’t already have a login solution.
