do any of you have experience with wordpressing quite high-traffic sites
with user counts somewhere in the range of 100,000-200,000 <-- this would be the amount of registered users in the wordpress user table, visits would be many-many more
operations that they would do are not particularly intensive, although there are some interesting challenges, but i think those might become offloaded to external tools
I have read through multiple questions here on StackExchange that concern WordPress scaling and the common opinion is that WordPress is indeed highly scalable provided you have the infrastructure to support it. However, all opinions point and talk about the database scaling.
However, I must ask ...
@lkraav No problem, there's a good deal of information on this topic as well scattered around the place. With the proper understanding of at least what contingency or roadmap you should employ for that kind of heavy-usage, I think you will fair good on the WP platform. But not without some tweaking of course.
yeah... heating came on and as usual things started to break immediatelly. never mind two months without hot water in the summer they tested and fixed those things :\

shame I can't downvote 300 times and bury that into oblivion... of course SO is farrrrrr better suited than the majority of WP professionals on WPSE... I never got that memo?
His answer should read clearly that the quote contains inaccuracies, because the way he worded it made it seem like he was talking about himself, his preference or views, but now that I re-read it again and again, I understand what he is trying to say now.
@userabuser was that you raving about f.lux recently? revisited it and using for couple days - very good, makes real difference (multiplied by two displays). wrote a blog post :)
@Rarst yep :) glad it helped... I've been using it for near 2 years, maybe even more (can't remember when it came out) - makes a huge difference, right now its 12am... if I didn't have f.lux I'd be staring at the sun... try that at 2, 3 or 4am... its real bad. f.lux to the rescue!
@userabuser I have it on darkstars.co.uk though it's old, css is out of date, and I wasn't aware of pagerank issues and 503 at the time, many many years ago
I would suggest "We're Having Database Issues" as the title, and "This may be temporary, sotry again shortly. An email has been sent automatically to one of our staff." as the text
even email field to be notified when DB is back up? (you can embed mailchimp for instance) with auto notification on DB return so the user knows to return
@TomJNowell I already changed the text from the original. And Ups! was the best I could come up with ;) Thanks for the "fix". Question: What is "sotry"? Can't find it.
@StephenHarris System wide notification to all users, so probably someone else catches up earlier than you. Haven't seen it this time at all. Best practice is to just ignore it. Normally it's not worth looking.
@ALL is there some special char, that is the equivalent of a default text cursor?
@userabuser actually answer with add_rewrite_tag() is about best for that question... rest of it is just bunch of juggling variables around in WP & WP_Query untill it lands in right places

For some reason, one of my WP_Query calls, that has a posts_per_page value of 4, has a LIMIT 0,999. Info from inside the posts_selection-hook that has the full query string. What's my problem? Anybody got an idea?
Ah, ok. Mixed up posts_per_page and numberposts again. Now I can see that I have a really serious problem: Missing spaces inside my query string... omg.
@TomJNowell When you insert a new term, shouldn't it check to see if the term already exists in the database, and if it does, just add a new relationship of that term to another taxonomy? Instead of creating a whole new term with a unique slug and id?
Well for example. In one area of the site. We have a taxonomy for ALL users. Then now in these portals, we have two new taxonomies. One for all users which are Educators, and another for all users which are Employers. But from our taxonomy created earlier, with all users. Those terms are now existent more than once.
@TomJNowell If I put together an outline of all post types, and taxonomies, would you take a look at it, and provide advice on how to organize it better?
I just don't really see how we could get away with NOT reusing a term more than once in each of the taxonomies. We almost have to use it a second time.
@TomJNowell Maybe I'm just not understanding you correctly. Can you explain to me if I had an Object Type with a Taxonomy which contained all users as Terms. Then a second Object Type which had two Taxonomies, one which contained all employer users as Terms and the second one which contained all educator users as Terms. How that would pose as a conflict of interest, between the two Object Types?
Why wouldn't those terms be able to be shared properly?
Shouldn't each of the Taxonomies handle the relationship of the Terms between each separate Object Entity?
Maybe I'm just over-thinking it, should shut my trap, and just deal with it.
Right, well back to square one, regarding sharing terms. I don't see why what I'm doing would conflict. Since the terms are the same thing, just in different taxonomies.
Okay, so let's put it this way. In the employer portal for example. There is a jobs post type. Within jobs, there's a taxonomy for assigning a company to the job. When that term is selected, it's associating that job with a company from the other post type.
That's what I'm trying to do. Just associate the terms, with other objects.
Whether it be a user, or another post type.
So that way, when I query the jobs, I can also query the company associated with that job.
Same thing with querying the company, I can also query the users in that company.
All because of the taxonomy/terms linking the two together.
That's all my terms are for.
Linking one object to another.
@TomJNowell I think I know how to do it now. Thanks for all of your help. Really appreciate it.
