YORGOO Press Important Update
This post concerns Ycademy Pros and users of YORGOO Press and their Publications hosted on YORGOO Press Servers. Due to the complexity of Semiomantics Scripts and since we introduced the direct hooks to social networks in and out, some of the sites experienced a certain number of issues, leading us in certain cases to reset the sites. This concerns namely the sites of Felisa Ryan, Zo Nicholas, Larrie Perkins and Brenda Baker.
A solution is in view and will be implemented this week-end, time permitting.
The Goal
Semiomantics provides the best online publishing system to its users. It’s performance is proven daily and over time. Semiomantics Publishing is technically a complex issue and the sites set up for users and customers allow most anyone to achieve exceptional results, not only on Google Top 10 targets but also on social networks since we added social network publishing elements to the scripts.
There is no way we will cut the power of Semiomantics because of increased need of resources or to make concessions due to script or software incompatibility.
We aim to rewrite parts of Semiomantics scripts and to implement these to the suffering sites in order to get them all back to normal by Sunday Night with even higher capacities and more punch.
Furthermore: YORGOO Press is a concept allowing its users to use at any time the latest technology based on the latest script versions of the WordPress back-bone; the same applies to plug-ins. We want to keep it that way.
The Problem
WordPress has become more complex over time and as well WordPress and Plugin designers squat their scripts with links and features which are not relevant to any vital or essential function. However, with every upgrade we need more resources from our servers to run all the processes which are run automatically in the background for the benefit of script users.
We also notice that some parts of WordPress and some plug-in scripts are using an unjustifiable amount of memory due to bad coding. Updates on WordPress often entail an update of plug-in scripts and plug in updates may create compatibility problems within the mix of scripts used on each site.
Some of the most delicate plugins concerned are Twitter Tools and All in one SEO Pack namely in relation with the Semiomantics specific configuration. Permalink structures, canonical link configuration as well as the bit.ly add on script have caused some of the issues we are facing.
The Solution
There are 3 ways to improve the situation and to plan for future expansion:
1. Semiomantics scripts can be improved to handle more data using less resources (coding)
2. We will need to tweak and hack some of the more delicate plugins and to use our own versions of these modified plugins. (coding)
3. We can increase the memory allowance to each site. (money)
2 Test Sites: Zo Nicholas and Larrie Perkins
We have restored Larrie Perkins and Zo Nicholas sites using a mix of the 3 above mentioned recipes. For the time being they run smoothly. We are working with the data center on reorganization of our servers as we want to allocate 128 MB of memory to all sites and foresee a potential increase to 256MB. You can do the Math: how many sites will we be able to host on 4GB RAM server units …
It boils down to a simple conclusion: new WordPress versions in connection with certain plug-ins require loads of memory which cannot be found on shared hosts. The problem has been observed elsewhere as well and it seems that some hosting companies recommend, not to go beyond WP 2.7.1 on their shared host as memory limits are likely to bring the sites down.
On dedicated hosts, the limit is the total of server memory, the available RAM and this will simply limit the number of sites we are able to host on each server. Increase of capacity can be achieved by clustering more server units, meaning, it’s a question of cost.
Providing YORGOO Press users with the best solution is our highest goal and we do not mind paying the price for it. For this reason, YORGOO Press sites hosted on YORGOO Press Servers remain a privilege for Ycademy Pros and Ycademy Seminar Participants.
