Interesting, thanks. What I did was disable wp-cron.php in the config page:

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

Then set up a cron job through my web host calling the same page. I also think that the link above made a difference. A lot of my hits were from google. I went in to the webmaster management tools and told it to crawl much less frequently. That, together with the robots.txt appears to have stopped the problem. Maybe. At least wp-cron is being hit far less, but I still have CPU load issues that may not be to do with ai1ec. Ours is only a tiny school site so should not be so busy.

I found this page in one of the threads and set it up. I’ll report back. It makes sense as I was having excessive google crawling too.

ai1ec_n_cron is hitting my site a lot too and I got an angry mail from my host.

Did you solve this?

Try deactivating all the other plugins then test a “pending review” post.

That’s great. Works on 3.6 fine. Thanks.

So, I found the right css I think but any changes affected all the widget boxes and it got really messy.

I am trying the same, but whilst adding the code like this below in the child theme page-templates/front-page.php does not make a right hand side bar. The bar appears underneath.

<?php get_sidebar( ); ?>
<?php get_sidebar( 'front' ); ?>

I am guessing that it is a stylesheet issue, but have not been able to work out what minor change I need to make.

I tried copying the whole standard page template but it still made the post full width and the “sidebar” go underneath. So it *knows* it is the front page. I can’t find a style difference ??
