“Maximum execution time exceeded” is a common error that can occur in WordPress due to server configuration or resource limitations. This error occurs when a script running on the server takes longer than the allowed maximum time to complete its execution.
To fix this issue, you can try the following solutions:
- Increase the maximum execution time limit: You can increase the maximum execution time limit by adding the following line to your WordPress site’s .htaccess file or PHP.ini file:Copy code
php_value max_execution_time 300This will increase the maximum execution time to 300 seconds. You can increase this value as per your requirement. - Contact your hosting provider: If you don’t have access to the server configuration files, you can contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase the maximum execution time limit for your website.
- Optimize your website: You can also optimize your website by reducing the number of plugins and themes installed, optimizing your database, and compressing images to reduce their size.
- Use a caching plugin: A caching plugin can help reduce the server load and improve the performance of your website.
If the above solutions do not work, you may need to consider upgrading to a higher hosting plan or contacting a developer to further optimize your website’s code.
