Many setting pages stuck on “please wait, this might take a while”

  • Hi all, I am new to WP， currently learning and developing a site with Materialis theme.

    Today I noticed that the sticky floating menu somehow is not working. So I tried to fix it. Then before I could do anything, I found that many settings page would not even load properly, they just stuck on loading…, showing “please wait, this might take a little while”. No matter how long I wait, the page will not open properly. This affects eg. customize, header, background, etc. settings pages.

    Before this, I installed and activated the “simple membership” plugin, and everything is working fine. I tried to delete the plugin and it does not help. I doubt whether this is a WP issue or something messed up by myself.

    Please help, any advice is very much appreciated.

    Apologies for the late reply. Here are a few things to try to narrow down the source.

    Deactivate all plugins and switch to a recent twenty* default theme. If speed is improved, restore your modules one by one, testing after each. Any significant change in speed will be caused by the last activated module.

    If you still have trouble in the default state, use your browser’s network developer tool to determine where the bottleneck is. If it is in the initial file request, your server could be overloaded. This is a common problem on some shared hosting accounts. Be sure your local connection is not the problem by using one of the Internet speed tests available.
