how do i fix "This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota "

[zachary0611]

Im running wordpress with some different plugins on www.shrubtalk.com but i keep getting This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota when i try to do anything all help appreciated

[Early Out]

Search these forums for CPU Quota. There's also this page from the BH helpdesk.

Some Wordpress users might check in with suggestions specific to that application.

It is almost certainly being caused by one of the plugins since WordPress itself doesn't give CPU exceeded errors (although it does give slow running JavaScript warnings).

Which plugins are you running?

[Ferdinand]

Do you have gallery plugin?
Is FastCGI aktivated in the CPanel?

Give us:

a rough estimate of your uniques per day
a list of your WP plugins
copy and paste the slowqueries file from the tmp folder

I also think that it's one of your plugins that causes trouble. However if you get tons of traffic it could be anything really.

i get 20 uniques a day

i have enhanced wp contact form, socialable, and xd forum plugins

heres some of slowqueries files

i've just started having this problem since august.. i've been with bluehost for two years and havent changed or increased anything at all concerning usage.. i just run wordpress on it..

over the past month it has become more and more frequent.. today, its happened every ten minutes at least.. i lost a post that i was writing and i got so pissed when i hit the save draft button and the "This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota" came up that i was searching help section for if i can get a refund on my hosting payment and just switch to another more reliable host.. ive tried searching for what could be the problem but i keep hitting dead ends and super vague suggestons..

at the moment it seems that this is a plugin problem? well the plugins i am currently running are.. akismet, anarchy media player, gravatar, hello dolly, iwphone, less, peter's custom anti-spam, srg clean archives, tiger style administration, punkymood, wordpress database backup, wp-contact form, zelig dropdown cats..

Read the link at the top of the page, also try turning off Awstats most likely you have a bad plugin try disabling them one by one to see what is causing it.

[snookie]

i disabled awstats, the link was not helpful at all, i've changed my them to the default wordpress theme, disabled all plugins i installed in the past four months..

i've had that message come up as often as every 3 minutes while navigating my site.. that is absolutely ridiculous! what could it possibly be???

[snookie]

surely this is VlueHost's fault.. why are they not doing anything about it?
