Background of the issue:
I am trying to manage my WordPress admin portal, but since installing WPML, it has become very slow. Each page takes more than 30 seconds to load, and the themes page is inaccessible. You can see the issue at hidden link.
Symptoms:
The WordPress admin portal is very slow, with each page taking more than 30 seconds to load. The themes page is inaccessible.
Questions:
Why is the WordPress admin portal slow after installing WPML?
How can I fix the issue of the themes page being inaccessible?
Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.
We hope you are using the latest version of WPML(4.7 series). Which hosting service you are currently using? Please share more details about your hosting plan.
Also, please share with us the WordPress debug.log(not WPML debug information) to collect more details on this. Refer to the following pages for instructions
To enable the WordPress Debug log, open your wp-config.php file of site root and look for define('WP_DEBUG', false);. Change it to:
// Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
// Disable display of errors and warnings
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
In this case, the errors will be saved to a debug.log log file inside the */wp-content/* directory. Please do the steps to reproduce the bug and check if you are getting any errors or warnings related to WPML in the log file.
If you can paste your debug.log to http://pastebin.com/index.php and provide me with that link it would be great! (This is the cleanest way because sometimes the logs are long and create a complete mess of discussion).
2) Increase the *MaxInputVars* of PHP settings to *10000*. Please check the following article for more details or contact your system admin/hosting provider for this purpose.
I have applied both your recommendations. However, still crippling slow on admin page with occasional error message. Also, I notice my site pages in general are also noticeably slower with WPML active, even when logged out of admin area.
