Hi again,
I have a large blog website (~1500 articles). When I updated to WordPress 6.9, the Live Search that loads the results dynamically started to create a loop that throttled the CPU and RAM on the server.
I had to disable the Live Search feature, but I want it back. Can someone from the dev team put this bug on the fix list for the next update?
Thanks.
Hi Iqtidar,
Please check if the option “SEARCH IN TAXONOMY TERMS” is enabled in the theme panel> template settings > search template – https://i.imgur.com/nm4h8kd.png. If it is enabled, please disable it and clear all cache. After that, the situation should be resolved.
Thank you!
I checked it. It was turned off already. I saved the settings once more and enabled Live Search.
I think this is also related to my previous post; the massive amount of Transient Entries was causing the CPU and RAM throttling.
However, after clearing the Cache from the buttons given on the Theme Panel, it looks like the function has recovered.
Live Search is now functioning properly and no longer consuming excessive resources. However, the Expired Transient entries should automatically be deleted multiple times a day.
The Cache Clear button helped a lot. Otherwise, I was clearing these entries through PhpMyAdmin, did not know the entries could be deleted from the Theme Panel. Please highlight this feature more, as high-traffic websites generate a ton of those redundant entries and without any expiry info added to the database.
Thanks.
Hi Iqtidar,
I’m sorry about the trouble with the transients, but I’m glad we were able to find a workaround for both issues in the end.
I’ve also shared a note with our developers to take a closer look at how the transients for the Flex Block cache option are intended to work and identify improvements, especially in handling and automatically clearing expired transients.
Thank you!
