Well, ok, but this isn’t built into the theme. This is a general javascript thing. This has nothing to do with the theme, save that a theme that is yes, commercial, is being used. However, if I were to change the theme to a WP “ok” theme, it does the same thing.

I’m just looking for input. Not theme support. Thanks.

Hey there,

In my general settings, I have https://www.obedia.com set as the URL for the page.

Yeah – when I hardcoded, my code is a normal hyperlink, and is set to that location on my server – however, WP is randomly deciding to put https://www.obedia.com/ in front of panel.obedia.com – can’t understand why.

thanks for reading.

Look, I apologize for coming off sour, but, the fact is that WP 2.6 ran faster than 2.7. I’ve been on this same hosting, with this same setup, for over a year, running the whole time, and not experienced the kind of slowdown that came with 2.7.

I’m no “blaming” poor little WP. I’m pointing out that running basic php and mysql queries still runs fast, but WP does not, even on “slow” shared hosting.

And as to me “rambling”, I didn’t ramble, thanks. I pointed out the issue I was having, and asked for help. I said that I already knew I was on a webhost that everyone would say “is this worst around”, as that’s the general response to GD here on the WP forums. I explained that the issues I was having became prevalent in WP 2.7 – and then I pointed out that I found that Nextgen gallery has issues with thickbox.js, which is documented in other user’s issues, and it especially has issues when installed alongside WPecommerce – guess what? Both of those plugins were installed on my backend, as I had considered using WPecommerce. It’s well-known now that there are issues between these two plugins using thickbox.js and having problems with each other.

So, while I’m glad that you took the time to visit my site and have a hearty laugh at my tweets and site speed, I still stand by the fact that my having cleaned out Nextgen gallery, as well as a number of other tables, -has- changed things, and that since “upgrading” to WP 2.7, I -have- seen increased load times, and slower database calls, and so have many other users.

In my final closing, I’ll say this. Figaro gave a bit of insight, that as I say, *would* have been useful, had he not followed my reply up with “If you say so…”, which was a snarky, useless comment geared simply at saying “You’re wrong, there’s nothing else that could be going wrong, because I would DARE to say that I A.) know that godaddy shared hosting is slow; and B.) despite that, I still know that something else is wrong, WHICH I POINTED OUT when I removed NG gallery.

sigh. yes. I’m the wrong one, I’ll make sure to admit defeat immediately the next time I get an answer that doesn’t address what I’d asked. Thanks for reminding me.

Okay, if you say so…

Yeah, I do say so. You didn’t offer too much. If you did, I would have agreed with you, wouldn’t I? I already pointed out in my first post that I know I”m hosted on Godaddy on a shared hosting account. I GET that, I didn’t ask you to tell me how many websites were hosted alongside mine. I brought up that my ISSUE was related to WordPress.

I love the WP forums. Asking questions usually gets the smartass answers, enough of them to make you not bother coming back.

Anyway, much of the issue here seems to be related to Nextgen gallery, a pretty little plugin but one that horks up a number of things after its install and after its been shut off. In this case, the problem is at least in some way stemming from the fact that the Thickbox JS code is horking up my website in many ways. Disabling Nextgen, as well as doing away with a bunch of Java in wp-includes/js, has brought the speed level up more.

I do know for sure now that I won’t be installing Nexgengallery again, because it’s obviously a hog with major issues.
