Actually I was able to increase memory and resolve this.

I have the same problem, but it isn’t with the plugin. *any* quote seems to trigger it, though some don’t. I cannot see the difference between those that do and those that are fine.

My error logs show

"PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /path/to/wp-content/plugins/anthologize/includes/theming-functions.php on line 263"

Seems like faulty coding. Some variable has been defined as a string then used as an array. No time to figure it out, but if anyone figures out the correct code or workaround, do update.

I will, if I crack it too. Pity to lose such a good plugin over some (I think minor) coding error.

Same here

And

IF (isset($styles['infomin'] == "Y")) {
    ?>
    .orbit-caption h5, .orbit-caption p { margin:0 !important; }

to

IF (isset($styles['infomin']) && $styles['infomin'] == "Y") {
    ?>
    .orbit-caption h5, .orbit-caption p { margin:0 !important; }

Also figured out the reason for the database error – wrong character set used in database. Fixed now.

Some notices remaining about undeclared stuff, nothing serious.

Slideshow working.

SOLVED

Also, I was getting a bunch of Parse errors.

Changed

if (isset($styles['background'] == '#000000')) {
	$loadbg = $styles['background']." url('../images/loading.gif')";
} else {
	$loadbg = $styles['background']." url('../images/spinner.gif')";
}
IF (isset($styles['navbuttons'] == 0)) { $navright = 'url(../images/right-arrow.png) no-repeat 0 0';$navleft = 'url(../images/left-arrow.png) no-repeat 0 0'; }
IF (isset($styles['navbuttons'] == 1)) { $navright = 'url("../pro/images/right-sq.png") no-repeat 30px 0';$navleft = 'url(../pro/images/left-sq.png) no-repeat 0 0'; }
IF (isset($styles['navbuttons'] == 2)) { $navright = 'url(../pro/images/right-rd.png) no-repeat 30px 0';$navleft = 'url(../pro/images/left-rd.png) no-repeat 0 0'; }
IF (isset($styles['navbuttons'] == 3)) { $navright = 'url(../pro/images/right-pl.png) no-repeat 30px 0';$navleft = 'url(../pro/images/left-pl.png) no-repeat 0 0'; }
IF (isset($styles['nav'] == 'off')) { $navright = 'none'; $navleft = 'none'; }

To

if (isset($styles['background']) && $styles['background'] == '#000000') {
	$loadbg = $styles['background']." url('../images/loading.gif')";
} else {
	$loadbg = $styles['background']." url('../images/spinner.gif')";
}
IF (isset($styles['navbuttons']) && $styles['navbuttons'] == 0) { $navright = 'url(../images/right-arrow.png) no-repeat 0 0';$navleft = 'url(../images/left-arrow.png) no-repeat 0 0'; }
IF (isset($styles['navbuttons']) && $styles['navbuttons'] == 1)) { $navright = 'url("../pro/images/right-sq.png") no-repeat 30px 0';$navleft = 'url(../pro/images/left-sq.png) no-repeat 0 0'; }
IF (isset($styles['navbuttons']) && $styles['navbuttons'] == 2)) { $navright = 'url(../pro/images/right-rd.png) no-repeat 30px 0';$navleft = 'url(../pro/images/left-rd.png) no-repeat 0 0'; }
IF (isset($styles['navbuttons']) && $styles['navbuttons'] == 3)) { $navright = 'url(../pro/images/right-pl.png) no-repeat 30px 0';$navleft = 'url(../pro/images/left-pl.png) no-repeat 0 0'; }
IF (isset($styles['nav']) && $styles['nav'] == 'off')) { $navright = 'none'; $navleft = 'none'; }

The images are still not loading as a slideshow. Strange, because it used to work. Wondering if I should take a look at the caching.

Yes. please. That would be perfect.

Hey, thanks for your very detailed reply. It makes me understand things better. I am a bit leery of spikes, since I recently was harassed off a server with CPU usage as the main reason for the site to be suspended. I may have overreacted.

I will keep this information in mind, and when I have a day or two off, I will personally monitor the website when I run pagespeed and respond with more practical information.

My site is not image heavy as such nor is it a big problem, but images have consistently been one area of low score historically, since I often forget to compress. So it was tempting that this can be automated, that is all.

My site is at https://aamjanata.com There are other sites as well on this server – all running WP, but they are configured similar and perform similar.

I am amazed and appreciate that you found this post and took the time to attend this. This, more than anything else gives me the confidence to try it trusting that I can get help fast if things go bad.

FWIW, With w3tc, apc, memcache and varnish already, I don’t anticipate pagespeed delivering miraculous improvement. The only thing remaining is the images. Seriously.

Also, I am concerned with the compression of pagespeed, though I did not test it. I have seen that some scripts don’t combine/minify happily. What will pagespeed do to them? If someone can share their experience, that would be good.

I tried mod_pagespeed yesterday on a VPS – Ubuntu SE + Apache. A rough “first feel”:

CPU usage started rising steadily. Must admit that I was quite happy with how the site was running, and added pagespeed only because I heard it compresses images. (hint, hint)

Installed, did something else for a while, saw the spike, disabled. I suppose the pages rendered fairly well, but didn’t see anything mindbogglingly amazing. Not providing any data because I didn’t stick with it long enough to generate anything reliable. Saw CPU spiking rapidly and that was that for me. Enhancements are for websites, not for crashing the servers. If nothing the defaults need to be set safer till people can configure them.

If I test/tweak, I will update. At the moment, w3tc is doing just fine

Same here

+1 ??

Any update on the wildcards?

With the plugin redirection gone totally dead, this is the one hope left ??

Is it possible that it is from some plugin that setup a cron and is now disabled?

I have the same problem and I remember that when I’d tested Mailman, something to do with cron had come up…. it is uninstalled, but this message comes up with debug enabled. Is there a way to check why wordpress is doing the cron?
