Do I need a php expert to solve this problem?

[phploh]

Hi,

 

My hosting company (Bluehost) told me when someone goes to my home page, it sends these series of queries and this is the reason for my high cpu usage and this is why my site says Error Establishing Database. The hosting company gave me these:

 

Each script is using a decent about of CPU.

I am not well versed with scripting, so I don't know what this mean.    Can anyone PLEASE help me to answer these questions:

 

+ Is this related to a particular plugin or widget or theme?

+ What could be the possible source of this issue, that is, which file should I look at to resolve this?

+ Can I fix this myself or do I need a php coder to help me?

 

Thanks!

browse to public_html/wp-config.php and add this

 

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

 

If you need the wp-cron.php to run at specific times, create a cron job to point to wp-cron.php

This can usually be done through your admin panel

Run every 2 hours

0      */2      *      *      *

 

Can use one of the following 2 methods

php -q /home/cPanel_User/public_html/wp-cron.php

wget http://YourDomain.com/wp-cron.php

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply . Would like to ask you a few questions coz I am not sure:

 

+ browse to public_html/wp-config.php and add this:

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

 

Where exactly in the file should I insert this code?

 

Also, I have just modified the memory limit in my PHP.ini file and added "define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M'); " to my wp-config.php file (still cannot access site).

 

Will there be any conflict?

 

Thanks!

Almost any blank line would be good, just not within a comment /* */, or inside an if statement.

 

Placing it before this line will be ok.

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

 

WP_MEMORY_LIMIT and DISABLE_WP_CRON are 2 different things and will not conflict.

 

As for your error connecting to database, it could be that your host disabled you due to the cpu usage, contact them and let them know you made these changes.

OKay, thanks for your help.

 

I will try it out.

 

Cheers!
