# of sites on network dashboard, how long b4 cache is updated?

User/blog counts have site_options which are updated via cron, not cache as far as I know.

~ twicedaily

Beyond that, exactly when that would be … I dunno.

Does running the Network->Upgrade Network script refresh the count?

hi david,

u r correct, i wasn’t sure if there was a hidden cache or not.

now what’s strange, didn’t see this before, i have a few errors via the server c-panel log…

[Tue May 14 20:40:21 2013] [error] [client 00.00.000.00] File does not exist: /home/hidden/public_html/wp-admin/network/div, referer: https://hidden.com/wp-admin/network/index.php

** i removed my ip address and site name from above **

and also errors for..
/wp-admin/network/site-new.php
/wp-admin/network/sites
/wp-admin/metwork/plugins
/wp-admin/network/

…all occurring when making any modification in the network admin directory.

and i just tested to make a change to the site settings page, only to taken to Darn it.. Nothing found

i verified the directory, even backed it up and reinstalled it, with the same errors showing up when testing.

and i just replied to another thread, not realizing the error messages i have seem to be the main culprit with my issue.

now what does it mean and how to resolve? i’ve verified both .htaccess and wp-config.php, nothing seems strange to me.

discovered my problem after too many days and too many hours to count, it came down to 1 single plugin: shortcode exec php

since i had about 100 plugins in play, finding out which one was the culprit, well, let’s just say it was a pita!

so if anyone finds an issue like this, and like david mentioned enough time has passed to allow the ‘update_network_counts’ cron to run, use your server logs as partial reference as to what the error is (doesn’t always help, but at least guides u as to whether the problem is solved or not) and start enabling plugins in groups to somewhat narrow it down, then you’ll have to start playing with each one of that problem group until u find the right one.

in my case, i had to start w a fresh wp install about 15+ times since this plugin was not only messing with the dashboard site results, but it also crashing the site in a non-consistent way, and was breaking the blog site settings page permalinks that it was redirecting me to the home page with a missing page error. it was crazy!!! ;(

but let’s just say i probably could’ve had this mu site completed with the time i’ve spent w/ trying to figure this dang thing out!

but i’m happy again…and happy to say this thread is solved! ??
