  • I've updated my staging and production sites today not seen any issues with 5.5. One site needed a DB update after but no issues.

    Has anyone had any experience with the following wp-config settings? Might be better than using even more plugins:

    /* Compression */

    define( 'COMPRESS_CSS', true );

    define( 'COMPRESS_SCRIPTS', true );

    define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );

    define( 'ENFORCE_GZIP', true );

    At least zip can be done at the server level, not using the PHP app (i.e. WordPress) to do it, no?
    Not really sure about the rest.

    GZIP can be done on server level, although not all shared hosts offer it iirc. HM does though iirc.

    Speaking of WP 5.5 problems...

    Why on earth would someone upgrade a production level site with a new release?

    The question was about 'production level site'. Why not try it on a staging site first?

    It’s the “if it breaks, restore from back up” tactic ?

    Looks like they resolved the matter and Apple gave a lame ass excuse and apology.

  • On a Wp realted note:

    Does anybody use Plesk for shared hosting ? If so, can they send pictures of WP installation process? 5 to 6 would be adequate.. thanks in advance!

  • Has anyone used or using hCaptcha on their WordPress websites and can share some experiences?

    I have seen hcaptcha in some crypto sites. Very bad captcha actually. It shows all 9 images of buses/plane/car/bicycles and asks you to select. With user point of view, I hate it.

    ive used hcapthca , if you planning to monetize it than forget it it takes ages to get approved for monetization
    also their captcha is monotonous for users ( many user reported )

  • Hello guys, I need little help ,
    i've been using a WordPress side php powered backup system for a small blog/website and a snapshot from a provider for heavy websites.
    Recently one of the client decided to cut corners and disabled snapshot option due to budget issues.
    he said he takes full responsibility for continuing without backup and i won't be the person to blame in case of mishap
    but we know how things works with clients so i wanted to know if anyone is using implementation friendly bash/shell script for WordPress backup which i can run on server level cron.

    My experience with WP caching (TL/DR LiteSpeed is way better than everything I've tried - except the paid only WP Rocket, which is close):

    https://io.bikegremlin.com/7303/wordpress-caching/

    Any review of object cache? In my experience, redis didn't have any significant performance improvement. I guess most request is handled by page cache. Rarely need to extract database. I'd like to hear what others have to say.

    Action and Reaction in history

  • @chocolateshirt been reading up on the WP 5.5 and page builder issues.

    And don’t listen to @Ympker and his moaning about having to update a WP site. He probably got Shanghaied into doing it (friend/significant others friend’s site) or he got too drunk and boasted he could fix it. Considering October is a few weeks away, I suspect the latter.

    On a serious note, would love to know why he really took up the job. To me it sounds like a disaster from the description. Hats off for taking it up!

    Perhaps a little misunderstood, Redis is undeniably a powerful cache layer and hash is a remarkable data structure. It's role is mainly to cache the MySQL into a hash map(or something I forgot). However, Wordpress usually under full page cache which means Wordpress itself is rarely ask for any database stuff. This makes me think that object cache is pointless, and fewer components, higher stability. I no longer use any object cache in my recent installation. However, I want to know if any one do the real test before.

    It could have been either of the aforementioned. But yeah, it's a person I know? I am definitely having fun?

    I didn't test before/after object cache. Might give it a run.

    Without any caching, WordPress reads the database for any page it shows.

  • @ympker read in a WP specific Forum that someone is planning to set upa VPs with PHP5.x and WP 4.x versions (only)
    to make money from those who did not bother to upgrade.
