 * Has anyone experienced the admin area getting real slow….to the point of not 
   being able to post anything due to it taking forever? No errors, maybe a time-
   out or two, but no script errors!
 * The front end though seems to be ok…..weird.
 * Thanks……….

 * have you tried:
 * -deactivating all plugins. If the problem goes away, activate them individually
   to find the culprit?
 * If you don’t have access to to your admin area, try deactivating them manually
   via FTP or phpMyAdmin.
 * -switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific issue?
 * If you don’t have access to your admin area, then access your server via FTP 
   or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
 * – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently
   inactive plugin can still cause problems.
 * -if that does not resolve the issue, try [increasing memory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP)
   available for php.

 * I have tried all of these things. Even went to the extent of moving to a new 
   server. It has been a gradual thing. Week by week it seems to get slower and 
   slower.

 * Have you tried:
    – repairing your database? – using a caching plugin? [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/253495#post-1017842](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/253495#post-1017842)

 * I did repair database when I switched servers.
 * I think cashing would only help the front end. The admin area is what’s slow 
   and that does not make since.

 * I know currently you are using WP3.0.1. Did you upgrade this from previous version?
 * If yes, did you follow the WordPress upgrade exactly.
