@DJPaul can you please tell me what database caching plugin your using to speed up mysql queries on master / slave servers? i’m using hyper db seems to work but i want to use memcache will that help logged in users on buddypress? (ryan’s plugin memcached plugin)
… my slave server is a stripped down mysql server and nothing else do i need to install memcache on the slave server? (its already installed on the master)
@gregfielding thanks for the info … my main issue is for logged in users and the very busy activity stream …. is there anyway to not display all the activity ? maybe that will load the page faster ..i use the activity stream as my homepage …. and it is very painful to hit it when logged in its sometimes a couple seconds before you see anything…. i am in the process of getting hyper db running on 2 mysql servers but what is a bummer is that even when their are 10-20 people signed in at same time its still slow …. actually even when there are only a couple the darn activity stream still lags …innodb tables….maxcdn ….w3 total cache..opcode apc
…any tips to improve the main activity load time?
@LPH2005 THANKS FOR THE REPLY …. i already have a cdn http://maxcdn.com which pulls files so you don’t have to upload ….. other than that i don’t see what else cloudflare will do to speed up the database queries affecting the activity page …. my thinking is maybe limit the homepage activity stream to query only important stuff and leave out the friend connections etc…what do you guys think or do you know how to do this? i’ve seen a plugin that blocks certain activity items from being stored to the database does that mean they won’t be displayed on activity stream also? any ideas on how to speed it up would be great if anyone has lots of activity i’m sure has seen this issue
i experienced same thing with wp fb autoconnect thank you @partyfrikadelle for narrowing it down …worked great on a theme that uses buddypress template pack…but when i used it on a buddypress default child theme no luck …it worked sometimes meaning eventually it did create an account but did not transfer the user avatar image. andy peatling built a plugin facebook buddypress connect that worked with the buddypress default theme
@gregfielding @r-a-y ….. thank you so much for bringing up this mentions issue …. i’m using w3tc latest versions of everything …i’ll keep checking back here for possible fix ….one other question lets say they fix the messaging issue in a future version of buddypress (and hopefully the @mentions) how would i know then to remove this from my functions.php file? would it be in the readme file of the latest version as an issue fixed in that release?
