Hi,
We are having problems with newspaper theme since two weeks now, it slows our server big time and in logs we have noticed more child process and reached MaxRequestWorkers setting errors.
Need help fixing this.
Thanks
Check system status in the theme panel to make sure you have enough resources allocated to WP.
Consider using less queries on post pages.
Hi,
Yes we had this theme running for about 3-5months now, its been great.
However its causing big problems in last few days.
Can you tell me how to reduce queries in this theme ?
Thanks.
Hi,
First please check the System Status section like Chris suggested above – http://screencast.com/t/4vBOkUvvXiW and increase those parameters(if it is necessarily) at least to the recommended values – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Also please try to disable your plugins except Visual Composer and check how it goes. Most probably you have installed a plugin recently which cause these issues. Try to use less plugins.
Check also the pagespeed guide and optimize your site – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
To improve your server response time you can try to reduce the number of queries (fewer plugins, fewer blocks on page, reduce the elements which use ajax requests/pagination like mega menus/load more/infinite load). To improve the loading speed look the MySQL query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html we also use it on our demo.
Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for the response,
Sure we had removed all plugins except couple of important ones like Visual composer,
We shall make the suggested changes and keep an eye on performance.

Hello Team,
We did as you suggested to reduce the number of queries, and removed un-wanted plugin.
It had a good impact on performance however, we still have issues and got our server reviewed from experts.
Feedback from the experts:
Theme uses huge worker processes, can you please suggest how to control worker process?
Thanks.

We can run the theme with zero issues; since moving to php 5.6 from 5.4, which was main issue on our system.
You can also move to php 7 from newspaper 7.6 as we implemented support for it but only version 7.0.
7.1 still has some issues but it should provide a bigger impact than 5.4 to 5.6. 🙂
As for the “bloated” theme, each user bloats his website as much as he wants. If you use lots of different blocks and lots of complex elements with ajax pagination and ajax filters and sliders etc. then you should expect a dramatic page speed decrease as all of them come with a speed price.
Thank you!
