Hi,

shared hosting plan are not enough to handle spikes of traffic with GeoDirectory: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/server-requirements/

They just don’t provide enough resources.

If last year you could manage 13k visits, probably you were using a much less resource hungry application. (basic search and so on).

MySql leak doesn’t mean anything. What probably happened there is that mysql reached the maximum number of concurrent users and wasn’t able to keep up.

If you use a service like AWS with the autoscaling option on, it will add server resources on demand and there will be no way your site will crash.

Thanks

Hi,

themes must be installed as themes, you are trying to install them as plugins.

Thanks

Hi,

I’m not sure there is an hook to do that, otherwise you need to modify theme files and that means losing the mod after every update and having to apply it again.

I asked to the developers to let us know,

Thanks

Hi,

just FYI, this will require quite and extensive customization.

Thanks

The link?

Hi,

the search forms used is not a GeoDirectory product, so we can’t provide support for this.

The slow queries are generated by this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/daves-wordpress-live-search/

You’ll need to ask for support to the author of that plugin or find a better alternative.

Thanks

Hi,

before buying the membership you tried to buy the social importer only and abandoned the transaction, that was creating conflict.

I cancelled the abandoned transaction and now it should work.

Let us know,

Thanks

Hi,

it’s very simple, ditch bluehost (commercial hosting good for amateur blogs with poor traffic only) and move to a cloud service that scale on request. Like Amazon Web Services (AWS)

https://aws.amazon.com/websites/

It will provide more hardware only when needed charging you only for the spike of traffic and then it will scale back for the rest of the time.

Obviously get prepared to pay substantially more.

Thanks
