Wordpress slow admin interface
On another site i manage we have been experincing a very slow admin interface. No matter what we tried to do it was taking 30 seconds for anything to happen. No errors in logs, no errors on page, site loaded fine. Other wordpress sites on same server were working fine.
So the solution was to go into phpmyadmin and deactivate all the plugins(was too slow to deactivate them all through the wordpress admin panel). Find the field “active_plugin” in the options table and remove all the text. Once deactivated, enable each plugin one at a time through the wordpress admin panel, for us it was the alinks plugin. Never had any problems with this plugin before, but for now it has to remain disabled.
Unfortunately we cant upgrade to the latest version of alinks as its no longer compatible with our LAMLP setup. Luckily we are in the middle of creating our own lightweight fast version of alinks/cross linker type plugin.

Thanks, I’ve been looking for the cluprit all week. But alinks is a really useful plugin so now I have to build my own scaled down version and hope it doesnt tank the wp install.
