Title: Issues while creating posts Last modified: August 17, 2018 --- # Issues while creating posts * [Cesar R](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ruzzo007/) * (@ruzzo007) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-while-creating-posts/) * Hello, * I had run into a rare issue, can’t seem to find anything related. * It seems like every time a post is being created the is a SQL query that takes to long to process and therefore it creates a database error Lost connection error(please see below.) * Everything is up to date and was working just find, all of the sudden I have a crashed website with a 6GB error log. * I had to remove all plugins and theme to be able to log in back to the site. * From some researched I fund that it cold have been a broken database. I reached out to the web host provider, and they assured me the database was working fine on their end, that is was word-press creating such a long query breaking the site. * Has anyone seen anything like this? and know how to fix it? The site is up now, but still lags when we try to creat a new post. * Any help will be greatly appreciated. * [17-Aug-2018 11:55:27 UTC] WordPress database error Lost connection to MySQL server during query for query SELECT post_modified_gmt FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_type IN (‘post’, ‘page’, ‘attachment’) ORDER BY post_modified_gmt DESC LIMIT 1 made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), wp, WP->main, WP->send_headers, get_lastpostmodified, _get_last_post_time * [17-Aug-2018 12:04:57 UTC] WordPress database error Lost connection to MySQL server during query for query SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘post’ AND (wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’) ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10 made by require(‘wp-blog-header. php’), wp, WP->main, WP->query_posts, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [Wurpe Hosting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wurpe/) * (@wurpe) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-while-creating-posts/#post-10600976) * Hi, this could be an issue with MySQL. If the MySQL server is intermittently going up and down while you’re running a query it can lead to that error. * When you disable all plugins does the error still occur? You can use this WordPress plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/) to see which plugins or functions are performing poorly. * Hope it helps. * Thread Starter [Cesar R](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ruzzo007/) * (@ruzzo007) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-while-creating-posts/#post-10601050) * Yeah I still get the error with the plugins deactivated. The error seems to be generated at them moment when I click the create new post button and when I click the publish button. * [17-Aug-2018 19:04:28 UTC] WordPress database error Lost connection to MySQL server during query for query SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND (wp_posts.post_author = 1) AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘post’ AND ( wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’) ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 2030, 10 made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), wp, WP->main, WP->query_posts, WP_Query- >query, WP_Query->get_posts [17-Aug-2018 19:06:43 UTC] WordPress database error Lost connection to MySQL server during query for query SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘post’ AND (wp_posts. post_status = ‘publish’) ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10 made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), wp, WP->main, WP->query_posts, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts [17-Aug-2018 19:06:58 UTC] WordPress database error Lost connection to MySQL server during query for query SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘post’ AND (wp_posts. post_status = ‘publish’) ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10 made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), wp, WP->main, WP->query_posts, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts * [Wurpe Hosting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wurpe/) * (@wurpe) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-while-creating-posts/#post-10601101) * Try installing the plugin I mentioned in my last post.
