WordPress MU

Soon after I upgraded to 1.5.1 yesterday, I installed Donncha's Sp Super Cache. All went well and it seemed to be caching lots of pages.

Alas, when I woke up today and tried to open any blog at http://blogpeoria.com, all I got was a white screen and a lovely message at the bottom of my browser saying "waiting.:

I could access my admin pages, which loaded immediately.

So, I did what any WPMu user ought to do in this situation: I dumped the last plugin that was uploaded to mu-plugins.

My blogs started loading like normal.

Darn it.

I really need a solution for the server load issues that my host is complaining about.

i don't think supercache is the solution to your quandry. you need to figure out which plugin is slamming you so hard. Are you running a stats plugin like firestats? check your slow mysql queries log. that'll tell you what going on.

i had similar issues wit supercache. the issue is with your host. are you running SC with compression on? that often causes many issue, also. try half cache.

Question: I still have the Anarchy Media Player plugin installed in mu-plugins. I'd like to dump it, but won't that crash any existing embedded YouTube video?

Nope, it won't strip out the embed code unless someone re-edits the post.

If you dump the AMP plugin the embedded videos will disappear and in their place will be the "shortcode" the plugin uses.

So ... who is right?

rename the plugin from anarchy_media.php to anarchy_media.txt for a quick second and you will find out :)

If configured incorrectly, WP-Super-Cache gives out a empty page for your site. The "incorrect configuration" could be:
1. Your host settings. In my case it doesn't work on my local host.
2. Misplaced files. Super cache require to be able to put 2 files in the wp-content folder, outside the plugin folder, which are advanced-cache.php and wp-cache-config.php.

For more information how to properly install super cache you should read this:

So far it's working fine for both of my blog and another site in one installation instance.

If my info is still not helpful, you may try the official instruction page: http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-super-cache/, good luck :)

BTW, your link has a comma (,) attached to it, so it's not actively working.

Huh. Probably trent this time. ;)

I was thinking of a different situation with embedded video code, not shortcode.

Offtopic: 4th link down under News for Peorian's on the Blog Peoria site is for free porn movies.

Ah .... need to get rid of that b@stard. Thanks.

Huh? Can't find it. Can you paste the link in question?

@binh

Your link has a comma in it too, lol. MrBrian to save the day!
