WP pages patch

Fresh from two weeks of holidays in beautiful Lanzarote, I tried to tackle the WP pages problem I outlined in my previous post. The result is a 150 lines patch for

wp-admin/edit-pages.php

, which brings rendering time down from 18 seconds to less than 1 second in my test blog with 200 pages. The patch is also available as a drop-in php file, but remember to backup the original WP file in case you run into problems later.

    … just one question:
    Why are your improvements on WP not going back into the WP codebase? Why does there have to be another flavour of WP?

    That's two questions isn't it? And yes, we'd be happy if the WordPress team included our code and suggestions, but that hasn't happened so far.

    Until LightPress evolves into it's own platform, you can think of it as a very ambitious WP plugin.

    I like pages and am this patch helps a bunch.

    Question: Does search look in pages in lightpress?

    I installed search pages and search will search pages for wordpress, but it doesn't seem to be working for me in lightpress [1.1.0].

    Search Pages is a WP frontend plugin and does not work with LightPress. We could add pages to our search though…

    I setup a WP-based site for someone but I kinda underestimated the amount of pages they wanted … after 100+ pages the manage pages took 30 seconds to load (on a dedicated server with no traffic !). We're now at 300+ pages which was kinda impossible to manage with the default edit-pages.php

    This patch is a huge time-saver !!

    Thank you very much !
