I am referring to the admin dashboard: when i choose the option Widgets all i see is the text ‘Available Widgets’….. the widgets themselves are not visible.
Yesterday i’ve installed WP again and then everything seemed to be fine, after pushing F5. Now the widgets are gone again.

This problem started after i have tried the Customizer in the new WP.

Thanks Bet. Yes, i know i’m reinventing pages, but right now i have no choice because i can’t solve the problem of a very slow backend when i’m using pages. I don’t need a child theme, because i have my own theme (Artisteer) without updates.

I’ve removed a piece of code in single.php to get rid of the post navigation. And well certainly i will lose the page structure using posts, but if i want i could do something with slug.

As i’ve mentioned the admin of my site is very slow, i believe because of the big ammount of pages. I have read and started discussions but still no solution. I believe the problem has to do with the WP function get_pages.

Cheers.

well the query_cache has been filled – no improvement

I am not a programmer, but I think the delay on the backend has to do with the function get_pages.

Anybody may be on this issue?
Thanks.

Thanks for your response, Sabinooo.

– The slowdown occurs on all admin pages (one time there are a few slow queries of plugins, the other time a few slow queries of other plugins and another time even no slow queries – while the admin is still slow)

– no errors, just query_cache_size = 0 (I’ve asked my host if this is a problem)

– no bottlenecks so to see

Right now i’m considering to quit with new pages and try posts (without navigation and with slugs, so they will look like my old pages).
As i’ve mentioned: using posts in stead of pages the backend is as fast as you may expect from WP.

nope, it′s not a commercial plugin, it′s a very simple light plugin.

yes, i have optimized my database and deleted revisions etc…

like i have said, i have discovered the issue has to do with PAGES, with posts the backend is fast.

Could there be a code that WP doesn’t have to ‘get_pages’ before making, editing and saving pages?

Hi Tara,
Yes may be something is going on with that plugin.
I did contact the developer, but he says there is no problem that could cause the slow admin.

BTW, do you know what this means?:
Caller: get_pages()+ Core Rows: 3651 Time: 0,0696

It seems the slow admin has to do with editing pages – posts don’t give problems with slow speed.

Could this PHP error be the problem?:

Use of undefined constant ratings_shorttags_admin_scripts – assumed ‘ratings_shorttags_admin_scripts’

wp-content/plugins/ratings-shorttags/ratings-shorttags.php:142 wp-settings.php

What does it mean?

No, I don’t think it’s plugin issue.
I have tried
define (‘WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL’, ‘true’);
in config.php, but still no difference

Hi Radices,
Thanks for your suggestion. It’s worth a try.
I have selected the Admin part, but can’t see how to disable plugins there.

deleted broken link checker, optimized database etc…

Thanks.
It seems I need to have some patience then.

Thanks for testing!

Hi Maryanne,

Well of course that’s a good idea. Thanks!
I seems to work now, but not in my IE and Safari though.
