I’m having issues when users search on the website, it crashes. It stays in a loading loop and then the CPU goes to hell and I have to reboot.
Specs:
Amazon LightSail
4 VCPUs
16gb RAM
WordPress Latest Version
I have installed the plugin in 2 websites (staging environment and production environment – exact replicas). Both sites react the same way —> search, memory is exhausted and I have to reboot.
Can you please add temporary back-end and FTP access so I can check the problem?
These issues are super rare, and usually the cause is not directly in the search process, but somewhere during the post processing of the results. Things like: the plugin tries to request title and content fields for certain posts, but due to failed plugin hook WordPress can not complete the request and it bugs out. There are also custom codes (if you use any), too many filters used on the search – especially custom field and taxonomy related, those can create massive database joins etc..
