This is a serious, showstopping error on the part of WordPress – I have no idea how to properly troubleshoot this – deactivating plugins has no effect – seems like a core WP issue whenever a post is being edited (which is all the time here) – need some ideas here.

If this is related to this issue:

https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/33423

a hotfix needs to be released – now.

I can confirm this fixed my issue.

followed this guide and now working fine again ! wasted over day trying to fix this issue!

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/high-cpu-load-after-update-to-v43?replies=17#post-7330770

Seems the 4.3.1 will overwrite the taxonomy.php and been a perm fix.

Thanks b348xyx – the fix you posted worked for me as well – can’t wait for the hotfix:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/high-cpu-load-after-update-to-v43?replies=57

Theres a lot people having issue with this, seems error only comes up after few days when the logs get out of control and the server cannot handle it no more then errors. so there will be a lot people having this issue so fingers crossed wordpress get there finger out and release the hotfix soon !

glad its working for you too @bcolflesh

Just wish i did not waste over day trying to fix myself.

I moved back to the previous version for now. Problems have stopped.

I’m glad I found this thread. Our WordPress has been under VERY VERY heavy load:

<strong>[root@webserver ~]# uptime
 05:34:57 up 17 min,  1 user,  load average: 174.90, 102.32, 47.78</strong>

And the log files appear to have the same details as above. I wanted to make a note here first, and now I will go through and see if the solution above helps us too.
