Here is a conversation thread with WordPress after they deactivated my business level website running the Newspaper theme – has anyone had similar experiences or any ideas about a fix? I’m importing events from about 600 Facebook pages:
\nHi John,<\/p>\n
In terms of the theme can you suggest a lighter version that would be less problematic?<\/p>\n
Yes, you could use one of the Magazine themes from the catalogue:<\/p>\n
https:\/\/wordpress.com\/themes\/filter\/magazine<\/p>\n
If you could reactivate the site and let me strip it back as much as possible using the current theme without losing it’s core functionality to see what I can get the load down to that would be really helpful.<\/p>\n
I am afraid that we can not do that. If we activate the site as it is. It will be deactivated again and affect negatively other sites on the platform.<\/p>\n
If I have one page dedicated to news (maybe with less items loading at once) and another just to the calendar (again, with less items loading at one time) might this make a difference?<\/p>\n
Not during our tests. When we activate the-events-calendar and events-calendar-pro, without other plugins active and with an standard theme (Twenty Seventeen), the home page was slow and the database heavily requested. I am afraid that same as for the theme, we can not activate the site with the plugin. You changed the settings once and the site was reactivated, to be disabled again.<\/p>\n
You could check with the plugin vendors which would be the optimal configuration and we would be happy to test it. We could also provide them a free trial of the business plan so that they can test their plugin on our platform.<\/p>\n
do you publish guidance anywhere on site traffic\/server capacity limits?<\/p>\n
We don’t have a published guide but on the codex you will find good practises and recommendations: https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/WordPress_Optimization<\/p>\n
From that link:<\/p>\n
Your theme will have a huge impact on the performance of your site. A fast, lightweight theme will perform much more efficiently than a heavy graphic-laden inefficient one.<\/p>\n
The number of plugins and their performance will also have a huge impact on your site’s performance. Deactivating and deleting unnecessary plugins is very important way to improve performance.<\/p>\n
If you would like to reactivate the site, it needs to be with another theme and not using the events plugin.<\/p>\n
Let us know!<\/p>\n
