I upgraded to 2.8.5 as well (with Leo Theme) and I don’t get the above issue when I click on a keyword in my “tag cloud” on the home page (or via a search)
It seems to display OK to me

I struggled with this a bit as well. I managed to make it look OK (BackyardStockPhotos.com) but wonder now how to get the lower menu/search box/login into that blank space to the right of the Logo. Isn’t that where it used to be?
I’m now on the latest Symbio with the new Child Theme (and, BTW, the upgrade all worked very smoothly – no issues for me)

On the speed question – no, I didn’t. I assume that the overall load on the server went down or something. I felt I couldn’t complain while my site was doing something in the background that was causing an overload itself.
On the seconds – I am talking about 1200 seconds each hour on my site, not per day.
Steve
I think it means that your site is using more than its “fair share” of the resources of the server and so the amount of CPU processing time your site gets is restricted. As a result, the site probably runs slower than it otherwise would – things should all work, but be slower.
That is my best understanding!
I originally got onto this because my site was taking 12 – 20 seconds to load a page, and when I complained, the tech told me that the site was being throttled. It is faster now – about 6 – 8 seconds on average.
Steve
I’ve been away for a couple of weeks and not really following things, but I looked at my own CPU throttling on Bluehost today.
I had it every day from about 6am EST for 4-5 hours back in September, and unfortunately it is still there, starts at 6am, throttles about 600 – 1200 seconds and hour (about 25% of the time), and drops off after 6 hours or so.
Does anyone else suffer from this? Have I missed any discussions about what is causing it? I’m still on Symbio 2.6.5.

I’ve updated my network-manager file and will see what happens in the morning.
Steve
While we are on the Premium plugin, I installed about a week back, and every morning from 6am to 11am, my CPU is throttled at BlueHost. I’m assuming that the plugin runs each morning to create that big initial indexing of keywords, but is that just wishful thinking?
Anyone know if it takes a long time to create the index for about 1100 images?
Steve
I think the answer is that those folders are not accessible through any URL based search – ie you can’t put http://www.digitalbristles.com/blog/symbiostock_rf/ and get anything. So Google can’t see them.

I decided to do some more investigation on this one. I registered for a new account on my site and got the cut down registration email that simply gives a user name, password and link to the admin page.
Ignoring that link, I went back to the site and entered my new username and password. Then found an image to buy, bought it OK on Paypal, back to the site (and after a page refresh) saw my image, downloaded it – everything good.
My purchase email then arrived and that was the properly formatted email from my site with details of the purchase, download link etc. So that all worked.So… What can I have done that is causing my site to send a plain simple registration email when someone registers on the site, but properly uses the email formatting when they have bought an image?
Steve
I can understand the frustration of this.
I tried to do some research on this, using the pomegranate example. I searched all through the source of the page from your site that Google are indexing – no mention of Leo on that page – and many references to Author being your site. I then looked at one of my own images that properly shows me as the “by…” on Google Images. Next step was to look at my images being found by Google Images from the various stock sites – not one of those shows a “by…” line. That leads me to believe that the author name is not coming from the image itself. If we assume that the images from the stock sites (at least some of them) will still contain the metadata I out into the image, then you would have expected Google to display it.
So, I think that means that Google are making that link to Leo’s name from somewhere else than the image itself.

I’ve created a license that has restrictions on print runs and product use, etc. but requires my permission for subsequent uses. I took the view that I have very little control over how an image is used, especially for a second time by the same person, and so I wanted a license that was not RF (so I could put an image on my site and also on Alamy as RM), but would not put people off.

I used Google Analytics for WordPress plugin by the same guy that wrote Yoast. That makes sure that all the right pages have the right code. From what I remember, you have to prove the site is yours by uploading a file to the root area. Pretty easy to do with FTP.
Steve
To the Moderator – could we change the title of posts like this to say “RESOLVED”
It would help people with the issue in future
Steve
I think some people started from a sample and relatively simple form. I took another version from one of the stock agencies and modified it to meet my requirements. I personally don’t think you need a lawyer, but make sure the text says what you want it to say. By all means use mine at BackyardStockPhoto.com, but I offer no warranty with it!!

Interesting (or worrying!)
I reported that my site was being throttled for most of the morning yesterday, but then it stopped around noon. I checked this morning and the throttling started again at 6am eastern time. My database backup ran at midnight without issues, I’m obviously not adding new images at 6am.
When I check current processes I get:
backyay9 11357 11.5 0.2 358052 79608 ? R 06:59 0:01 | _ /ramdisk/bin/php5 /home1/backyay9/public_html/wp-cron.php
backyay9 11724 15.0 0.1 338360 60080 ? R 06:59 0:00 | _ /ramdisk/bin/php5 /home1/backyay9/public_html/wp-admin/admin-ajax.phpThe wp-cron.php is a file that schedules activity, doesn’t it. I asked this elsewhere – does the site start indexing itself and creating the network files at 6am?
I’ve also been regularly checking load times of my home page – it averaged 12 seconds throughout the night, but is now 16 seconds. No wonder I don’t get sales – no-one stays around for that sort of performance.
