When you see an error in WordPress, don’t panic—it’s common and easy to fix. One of those errors is “Maximum Execution Time Exceeded,” which happens when a plugin or theme takes too long to install or update.

Many people fix it using the .htaccess file or a plugin like WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded, which is great for beginners. But in this guide, we’ll show you how to fix it using the wp-config.php file. You don’t need to be a coding expert — just follow these steps.

🛠 Step-by-Step Guide (Using cPanel)

Step 1: Log into cPanel

• Login to your cPanel account.

• Once logged in, look for the File Manager under the Files section.

• Click on it to open.

Step 2: Find Your Website Files

• Inside File Manager, open the folder named public_html (this is where your website lives) Or find the root directory of your website if you have multiple domains in cPanel account.

Step 3: Edit the wp-config.php File

• Find the file called wp-config.php.

• Right-click on it and choose Edit.

• A popup may ask you to confirm — click Edit again.

🔔 Important: Before you change anything, make a backup of your website and database to stay safe.

Step 4: Add This Code

• A new tab will open with the actual code.

• Scroll down and find the line says! ( /* That's all, stop editing! */): and add this line at the end.

• This gives your website more time (300 seconds) to run tasks. You can increase it to 600 if needed, but 300 is usually enough.

Step 5: Save Your Changes

• Click Save Changes at the top-right.

• Clear your browser caches, website caches, and also purge your website to apply all the changes instantly.

• Now try installing or updating the plugin/theme again. If it works — great! You’ve fixed the error!

Other Methods

There are other ways to fix this issue too — like editing the .htaccess or php.ini file — but using wp-config.php is one of the easiest for beginners.

Enjoy!

Introduction

BoostedHost servers come pre-configured with LiteSpeed Web Server and Redis to deliver maximum WordPress performance.

• LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache) handles full-page caching, image optimization, and frontend performance.

• Redis Object Cache speeds up database queries and backend operations.

This guide explains how to connect WordPress’ LiteSpeed Cache plugin to our Redis service for optimal results.

✅ Requirements

• A WordPress site hosted on BoostedHost.

• The LiteSpeed Cache plugin installed and active.

• Redis is already installed and running on all BoostedHost servers (no extra setup required).

🔎 Redis Details on BoostedHost

On BoostedHost servers, Redis is available on:

• Host: 127.0.0.1

• Port: 6379

• Database ID: 0 (default)

Memcached is not enabled on our hosting platform, so Redis is the recommended and supported option.

⚙️ Step 1: Enable Object Cache in LiteSpeed Cache

1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.

2. Go to LiteSpeed Cache → Cache → Object.

3. Set Object Cache to ON.

⚙️ Step 2: Enter Redis Connection Settings

Fill in the following fields:

• Method: Redis

• Host: 127.0.0.1

• Port: 6379

Click Save Changes.

✅ Step 3: Confirm the Connection

After saving, check the Status line at the top of the Object Cache settings:

• If it says Connection Test: Passed → Redis is working correctly.

• If it says Failed → re-check Host and Port values.

📈 Step 4: Verify Performance

Once Redis is active, your site will:

• Serve database queries from cache instead of running them repeatedly.

• Improve backend/admin response times.

• Reduce load on MySQL under high traffic.

You can verify Redis activity with the WP-CLI command:

Expected output:

🔧 Troubleshooting

• Still shows “Connection Failed”? Make sure Redis is enabled in your hosting package. Contact BoostedHost Support if needed.

• Do I need Memcached instead? No — Redis replaces Memcached on our platform and offers better performance, therefore Memcached is not available.

• Do I need to configure Username/Password? No — Redis on BoostedHost runs locally without authentication.

🎯 Best Practices

• Use Redis + LiteSpeed Cache together for maximum speed.

• Don’t install multiple caching plugins (like W3 Total Cache or WP Rocket) — they can conflict.

• Always clear cache after major site changes: LiteSpeed Cache → Toolbox → Purge All.

📌 Summary

To enable Redis Object Cache on BoostedHost:

1. Go to LiteSpeed Cache → Object.

2. Enter Host: 127.0.0.1, Port: 6379, Database ID: 0.

3. Save and check that Connection Test: Passed.

That’s it — your WordPress site is now fully optimized with Redis + LiteSpeed. 🚀

• Laravel and Other PHP Frameworks

• Basic Git Deployments (if Git is available on your plan)

• Static and Frontend Applications (React, Vue, Angular with static builds)

• Node.js Applications (if supported via cPanel)

❌ What This Guide Does NOT Cover

This guide does not apply to applications that require root access, such as:

• Custom Server Software (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, Nginx custom setups)

• System-level Services (Supervisor, Redis, Queue Workers without cPanel support)

• Applications Needing Daemon Processes (long-running background tasks requiring root)

• High-Resource Applications that exceed shared hosting limits

For such applications, upgrading to a VPS or dedicated server is strongly recommended.

1. Retrieve Your SSH Credentials

• Check your inbox for the "New Account Information" email that was sent upon registration. This includes your server’s hostname/IP address, your cPanel username, and password.

• If you can’t find the email, log in to your hosting dashboard, click on your profile icon (top-right corner), and select “Email History” to find a copy of the email.

2. Access the Server via SSH

Choose an SSH Client

• Windows: or any SSH client

• Mac/Linux: Built-in Terminal

Connect to Your Server

For PuTTY (Windows):

1. Open PuTTY.

2. Enter your server’s IP address or hostname in the “Host Name” field.

3. Click Open to start the session.

4. Enter your credentials when prompted.

For Mac/Linux Terminal:

ssh username@your_server_ip

Replace username and your_server_ip with the details from your email. Enter your password when prompted.

Note: Since your shell is Jailed Shell, you’ll be restricted to your home directory but can still run most necessary commands.

3. Navigate to Your Laravel Project Directory

cd public_html

(Adjust if your Laravel project is in a different folder.)

4. Run Composer and NPM Commands

Install Composer Dependencies

composer install

Ensure that your composer.json file is in the current directory.

Install Node Dependencies

Ensure you’ve set up a Node version in cPanel → Software → Setup Node.js App before running npm commands.

npm install

npm run build

This will install and compile any front-end assets needed by your Laravel project.

5. Run Artisan Commands

php artisan migrate --seed

php artisan storage:link

These commands will set up your database tables and link the storage folder properly.

6. Configure Permissions

By default, if PHP runs as your user (suPHP/LiteSpeed), you typically only need:

• 755 for folders

• 644 for files

Ensure storage and bootstrap/cache are writable if Laravel requires it:

chmod -R 755 storage/ bootstrap/cache/

chown -R youruser:youruser storage/ bootstrap/cache/

(Adjust youruser accordingly if your environment differs.)

7. SSL & Supervisor

SSL (AutoSSL in cPanel)

Use AutoSSL via cPanel instead of manually setting up Certbot.

Supervisor for Queue Workers

Supervisor requires root access and is not available on shared hosting. If you need queue workers or other persistent processes, consider upgrading to a VPS.

8. A Note on Support Scope

Since this is a custom Laravel/Node.js deployment, it falls outside our standard support scope. Our team focuses on cPanel basics and common applications like WordPress/WooCommerce.

For advanced Laravel or Node.js troubleshooting, we recommend:

• Consulting a developer

• Upgrading to a VPS for full control over your environment

If you have any questions about cPanel basics or run into issues unrelated to custom code deployments, we’ll be glad to assist.
