So, I am using the admin site as a backend for an iApp. The iApp does requests on an extract script, which gets some data from the fantastic wp data model and returns it to the iApp in JSON.

@jaapmarcus:
Good idea but not the solution, since /index.php would redefine to true in an out-of-the-box installation. And we do not want to change code which will be lost at the next update.

@mark:
Yes, I already mentioned earlier, I use only the admin site. Do you really need to know why I need only the admin site? ??
Using define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false) in /index.php works fine, I will have to set it to false in every Update though.

Sorry for the (too) short explanation. Imagine, you would use wordpress only as a content management system (for whatever reason). Say, you use the URL example.com/wp-admin/. In order to make sure, that there is nothing rendered at example.com/, I used the option

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

This works perfectly fine. It’s just not the perfect solution, because I need to be careful after every wordpress upgrade.

looking quickly through the code, i guess i know what the issue is. The function tt_read_file(url) is running into a timeout, if “url” isn’t responding. I changed the url Service in tweet this Settings to bit.ly because the default one obviously struggled with the function tt_read_file.
cheers!

I solved this issue by making sure my server is able to resolve the given address, for example:

wget https://test.mydomain.com/blogs/mu-blog/feed/

If the address is unresolvable by the server, it most of the time means, that the server is somewhere behind firewalls and has an internal ip-address.

Solution:

in /etc/hosts, make sure you put something like this:

127.0.0.1 test.mydomain.com

Good luck.
