Deleting Multiple posts

  • Hi,

    I wish to remove multiple posts without causing an overload to my servers resources.

    Atm when I delete a post by using the ‘delete ‘ button, my server resources go to 10-15 times my normal server load, causing a huge delay on visitors visiting my site.
    If I try deleting a post in my admin panel under ‘manage’ , it takes 20-30 seconds to delete or it causes a time-out syntac error.

    Is there a better way to delete multiple selected posts?

  • There’s nothing we can do about it. You have to resort to contacting your host. If you are using version 2.6.1 or 2.6.2, you should have to option to “select all” or, if you go into categories, and click on the # in the of posts relevant to which group of posts you want to delete.

    It causes an time-out sync error because your host is probably limiting the memory or server CPU usage that you may use. WordPress itself cannot do able thing about this.

    Contact the host.

    Then your server is configured extremely badly, because deleting a post does not do any extreme processing or anything. It just sends SQL deletes for the entry in the posts table, the associated comments, the associated postmeta information, and some of the stuff in the taxonomy for tags and category associations.

    Seems to me like you need to optimize your mySQL server to not cause such thrashing on the system.

    Yea I have no idea what is causing it.
    I do have wp-super cache enabled..maybe that is causing it.
    For the rest I have a basic installed linux server with phpadmin and cpanel etc (server host is iweb.com)
