Does WP Job Manager require exec() / exec.php or url_fopen functions?

    Hi,

    I’ve developed a website with WP Job Manager and a number of its plugins which, not surprisingly is running a bit slow on a shared hosting service.

    I am now investigating more powerful solutions and found one managed hosting service that looks like a good fit. Before signing up with them, I asked them if they supported WP Job Manager… and this is what they replied back with:

    “We haven’t received any reports of any incompatibility with WP Job Manager plugin so this should work on our platform. However, you will want to verify with the plugin author that it does not require the exec() / exec.php or url_fopen functions, as both of those have been disabled on our hosting for security reasons. We do support CURL as an alternative to url_fopen. Your plugin author should know if they are using these functions or not.”

    In addition to this specific question, are there any other hosting best practices or recommendations you can make about helping websites using WP Job Manager with a non-trivial amount of additional plugins run fast.

    Thanks!

    I don’t believe we use those functions. We stick with WP’s built-in functionality for grabbing remote URLs.

    There isn’t any particular best practices besides the general WordPress ones. Use caching, ensure your theme and other plugins are optimized for slow queries and things of that like, etc.

    Cheers!
