 * Hi,
    It is probably because of the heck for hostname, that takes a long time.
   On the form settings you can disable the storing of IP address and hostname. 
   Does that resolve it?

 * Hi Guestbook,
 * This is freaky, I checked marked **Permanently remove IP Address and hostname
   for all existing entries**. along with this function, it WOULDN’T save? However,
   the pagination shown, that’s one good thing…
 * But if I don’t use this function, it will saved, then pagination disappeared?
 * function my_gwolle_gb_register() {
    wp_enqueue_script(‘gwolle_gb_frontend_js’);
   wp_enqueue_style(‘gwolle_gb_frontend_css’); } add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’,‘
   my_gwolle_gb_register’, 20);
 * ————————–
    I had tried everything within any settings and even took out the function,
   no luck!
 * Any other solution can make post faster?
    Any other help would be appreciate 
   again, Thanks,

 * Hi, that was the wrong checkbox 🙂
    That one is about removing IP address and
   hostname from existing entries only once. You want to disable the “Saving of 
   IP address and hostname”. That will disable the hostname check when a new entry
   is posted. This is the most probable cause of slowdown when posting.
 * Also, do you have spamfilters for Akismet and Stop Forum Spam enabled? They also
   do a request to a third-party service. Those might also cause slowdowns.
    The
   honeypot and timeout spamfilters might be good enough for now.
 * I am not sure why you are posting that PHP code? That is unrelated to this issue.

 * Hi Guestbook,
 * Ok, this is freaky, good and bad, good now it seems to post within 1-2 seconds.
 * But Bad news, now got an error message saying… **Sorry, something went wrong 
   with saving your entry. Please contact a site admin.**
 * Besides the test-user, even I am the admin and I can’t post and getting this 
   message too?
 * I cached, permalinks, tried new private window, the whole 9 yard… no luck?!
 * Do you have any idea going by that?
 * Please advise help,
    Thanks

 * Strange, and that didn’t happen before?
 * When you go to Gusetbook > Settings > Debug-tab, can you there add 2 entries,
   with and without Emoji?

 * Hi Guestbook,
 * It’s now seems to work correctly. Sound funny, but I was messing with some function
   and plugins, all works well and posted accordingly 🙂
 * Thanks much for your big help,
