Fixing WordPress Error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

chrisbitting, , Leave a comment

If you have a WordPress install that is giving you this error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in ...\wp-db.php on line ####

…It’s because PHP is timing out. The default timeout in PHP is 30 seconds, see here for details.

The fix:

The method I use for this is simple:

  1. Open your wp-config.php file in an editor (notepad, etc).
  2. Add this line to the top: set_time_limit(300);

The “300” can be any about of time (it’s seconds) you’d like.

The top of your file should like something like this:

wordpress-timeout

 

PS: You should only need to change this if you’re working on some kind of import /export or a one time process. If your blog requires this to run normally, their might be bad code or a server issue.

WordPress Multisite Windows / IIS Login Redirect / Loop Issue

chrisbitting, , , , 10 Comments

wp_logoIf you have WordPress installed on Windows (2008 / IIS) with multisite + sub domains enabled you may have run into the issue of login loops / redirects when  accessing /wp-admin. Below are a few spots you may want to confirm you have the correct URLs:

In the database:

Table / Field

wp_blogs / domain
wp_options / siteurl
wp_options / home
wp_sitemeta / siteurl    (don't forget this one!)

Also check these tables in any additional sites (ie: wp_2_options).

Config Files
wp-config.php:

define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.yourdomain.com');

I also have this in my wp-config.php:

define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
define('COOKIEPATH', '');
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '');

Web Config
Below is my successful web.config
