WordPress Plugin Of The Day: No Ping Wait

by Tony Hung on September 20, 2006

I became Rip Van Winkle waiting for posts to get posted So, for a few weeks I had this problem.

After each post, WordPress would wait and wait — and sometimes I would get a browser error saying it had timed out.

Sometimes, it would take up to 5 minutes to complete a post!

Have you ever had this problem? The issue was the number of services WordPress would be pinging after each post; WordPress if configured to do this in sequence after each post, and needs to wait for each ping after it moves on to the next one.

Well, no wonder.

Turns out there is a plugin that can help with this issue, called “No Ping Wait”.

Through the magic of somehow re-jiggering the pinging process, so that I think that it does it after the posting process, it speeds everything up to a blink of an eye.

Oh, blessed relief!

Caution: Works with Wp 1.5 and greater. Upload, install in the usual fashion and away you go!

Download: http://somethingunpredictable.com/wp-no-ping-wait/ –> Yikes! it seems the site is down as of the writing of this post. If its not up in the next few days, I’ll just upload my version for you.

I’d be careful with that plugin, we had some bad experiences with it, WP hanging in particular, and after rolling it out across 130 WP blogs had to then go and unroll it…so to speak :-)

Interesting! Any idea why the hang? (It solved the ‘hang’ problem for me)

What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
Thanks.

To Michael:
I use something very close to your wish. It’s called “archivist”
http://fredfred.net/skriker/index.php/archivist/
You can see it in action at http://thenightlyquill.com
A random older “post” is moved to the 2nd post position everytime the page is refreshed. It is labeled “From The Archives” Very easy to install. Works flawlessly!! Hope this helps.
