Hi all – i’ve been a happy user of bbPress for a while (www.wearepopslags.com), but only now did I receive a message from my hosting partner about instable or slow executing scripts. First of all, I don’t really understand what that means and the other info that followed after that really boggles my mind. Does anyone have a clue?

Your website scripts needs to be looked at as they are taking too long to executed and are unstable, as shown below;

We allow max execution time 30s as per our T&C

What is watpocom?

What version of bbPress are you using? Is anything else besides bbPress installed and running on your server?

What plugins are you using?

[Silvanovicz]

No idea what ‘watpocom’ is, but I assume it’s something to do with my hosting provider.

I did find out the slow executing scripts might be a plugin that tries to pull in a feeds or aggregators? They apparently take up a lot of CPU.

I have WordPress installed on the server as well and both installs have quite a few plugins between the two of them. Does anyone know if there’s a little tool where you can see how long / which script holds up the process?

A bit like http://tools.pingdom.com, but for PHP scripts?

[johnhiler]

You’re in luck! Try this script to see which bbPress plugins are slow:

This should do the trick on the WordPress side of things:

Good luck!

I think that’s the output from the command top so watpocom is just the user that’s running the processes.

I suspect it’s a plugin causing the problem. Using the plugins linked to by johnhiler will help pinpoint the problem. I’d start with bbPress plugins.
