Hello!

My WordPress is very slow since Woocommerce and Memberships are activated at the same time. When I say slow, I mean that it takes around 20sec to load a page from the Dashboard.

When I deactivate Memberships, everything is back to normal. When I activate Memberships but deactivate bbPress, everything is back to normal.

I saw on the wordpress.org that i’m not the only one having performance problems with Memberships and bbPress but nobody found a solution.

I tried to install bbPress 2.6 Alpha but it doesn’t work.

What can I do?

Thanks a lot

What do you use Memberships for ?
I use bbp private groups and Members from Justin Tadlock and that seem to work fine.

Thanks for your answer.

On the same website, I sell memberships that allow members to access a library of magazines archives. Each magazine can be bought individually, but if you’re already a member, you can access all of them. Right now, all these sections are hidden. We will make the new website public in a couple of days.

The website is http://www.fqsa.ca

I spent +150 hours on this website, so I cannot go back and start again with another plugin…

I’m afraid I need some more information here…
– What Memberships plugin are you referring to ? Can you give me the link to the plugin to be sure we talk about the same one ?
– Can you give me the links to where others have the same issue ?

(Paste all the links, your reply will go into spam but i’ll try to approve it afterwards)

Pascal.

This is the memberships plugin I use: https://www.woothemes.com/products/woocommerce-memberships/

And here’s one of the other topics about this issue: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-subscriptions-plugin-very-slow

I scanned my website using P3 (Performance Plugin Profiler) and even when Memberships is deactivated, it seems that there’s still a delay caused by Subscriptions and bbPress. Here’s the log when bbPress is activated:

Hi,
I’m afraid I won’t be able to do a lot. I will forward your thread here to the bbPress developers, but reading other pages on the internet, it seems that WooCommerce is intercepting some calls for data and doing stuff on them that takes time. I can only advise to open tickets to WooCommerce like others have already done so that they can review their functions.

Pascal.

Alright, thank you.

It’s really strange. I already contacted WooThemes support and they still haven’t found a solution yet.

Thank you for your help.

@antoinemg Based on the profiler output, it looks like you’re using Paid Memberships Pro, and not WooCommerce Memberships, as I don’t see it listed. Is this the case? Also, based on the output, Paid Memberships Pro seems to be the culprit at 4.65 seconds and 70% of load time.

@thebrandonallen You’re right. I made a mistake when doing these tests.

Here’s the results when I keep only the essential extensions, but without bbPress:

Here’s the results when bbpress is activated:

You can see, in fact, that Subscriptions seems to be the problem… I don’t really know because all these plugins seems to be connected a lot.
