WordPress: Speed up ‘Manage Pages’ admin page

September 25th, 2006 Mark Leave a comment Go to comments

One of my websites about health, fitness and bodybuilding uses a lot of pages in WordPress (i.e. uses WordPress as a CMS)

The Manage -> Pages screen always times out (php script >30sec execution time)

The solution is to edit admin-functions.php and find the ‘page_rows()’ function

Now comment out the following line:


   start_wp();

so it looks like this:


   // start_wp();

Voila, almost instant listing of all pages. I’m quite sure that ‘start_wp()’ function has no place there anyway after reading the description of what it does

    Hi all great information here and good thread to comment on.

    Can I ask though – how did you get this picked up and into google news?

    Very impressive that this blog is syndicated through Google and is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?

    Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..
