Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

SQL queries for option parameters

Hi,

I noticed a strange behavior in atahualpa 3.3.3 (I don't know if it is the same in previous versions). If I reset the setting I get 250 queries (statistics in footer) for bfa_ata_ option values. Every setting saved in theme settings reduces the number of queries. The queries, called by are like "SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'bfa_ata_cat_noindex' LIMIT 1" and they return no values.
These calls are unnecessary and should not be called by the theme scripts.

Best regards, Domen

The number of queries - as per the measurement of Wordpress - looks high because for each option it checks whether it is saved in the database, and if not, the default value is being used. As you have noticed, saving options reduces the amount of queries (even though the amount of table rows increases), but it does not reduce the overall rendering time of a page. In other words, is Atahualpa slow for you, or, does saving the options (and reducing the amount of queries - as counted by Wordpress) improve the rendering speed by more than a few 1/100 seconds?

I think it saved me between 100 and 300 ms.
I just added a sentece in bfa_get_options.php, that writes a option into database if it is not found inside it.
Now I get this statistics at the footer: 39 queries. 0.523 seconds. But a sum of time of all executed queries takes about 150 ms (http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php). Maby it's connectiong to database ...

OK ... 0.532 seconds is total rendering time.

For me the difference between no options saved (116 ms) and all options saved (109 ms) is 7 ms. Reset all settings and check the rendering time, then save all settings and do the same, then compare the difference. How many ms difference do you get?

My example is on a fast server, with XCache, with Atahualpa 3.3.4, no plugins activated, a few dozen posts, a few hundred comments, measuring the homepage with 10 posts

Hi, sorry for a little late answer.

I made a little fix in bfa_get_options.php.
Line 15:
if (get_option( $value['id'] ) === FALSE)
$$value['id'] = $value['std'];
else
$$value['id'] = get_option( $value['id'] );
Is replaced with:
if (get_option( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) {
$$value['id'] = $value['std'];
update_option($value['id'], $value['std']);
}
else
$$value['id'] = get_option( $value['id'] );
So that every option gets written into the database. It helps speed up my slow (Sempron) server.
