We&#8217;ve transitioned it from a print publication, sometimes inserted as part of our alumni magazine, to a stand-alone web-based site.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, it&#8217;s a ton of text broken into pages based on giving levels. Some of the pages are rather short &#8211; like those that gave over $50,000. The longest list, unsurprisingly, was our list of people who gave under $1,000. It was near 30,000 words long &#8211; which is a LOT of text in one WordPress page.<\/p>\n<p>As a donor to this University (and in the under $1k group), I was able to find myself using WordPress&#8217;s built-in search tool. When I went to the full list page, it was blank. Well, our header, sidebars and footer was there, but the actual page content, the stuff being pulled by the <code>the_content()<\/code> tag, was missing.<\/p>\n<p>It was in the database, but WordPress wasn&#8217;t actually displaying it on the page. At all. <\/p>\n<p>After some poking, I discovered that it was too much data for PHP to do any functions\/plugin actions on it before it was displayed. I didn&#8217;t really want to break it into multiple pages, so I Googled around and found other people having similar problems with very long pages and posts.<\/p>\n<p>The solution: change some PHP settings to up certain buffer sizes. The lines I used were this:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n\/** Trick for long posts *\/\nini_set('pcre.recursion_limit',20000000);\nini_set('pcre.backtrack_limit',10000000);\n<\/pre>\n<p>Those two lines, placed in either your php.ini file or your wp-config.php file, give PHP a bit more space and power to process large amounts of text and make sure there&#8217;s enough room to do all the processing on a post that WordPress has to do. <\/p>\n<p>We host our sites on a dedicated machine, so I&#8217;m not sure what, if any, effect this will have on WordPress sites hosted on a shared server. Otherwise, I&#8217;d recommend breaking them into multiple pages or posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I fed WordPress too much and it got a
