Kleo update server not reachable and slowing down WordPress Admin

[johnand]

We are having an issue with multiple sites that run the Kleo theme. With the Kleo theme active, the WordPress admin slows to a crawl. With the default WordPress theme, site speed returns.

After further investigation, this appears to be an issue with the required-plugins.php file checks the Kleo update server for updates (http://updates.seventhqueen.com/check/kleo/), but it appears the server is offline according to Cloudflare.

Can you please provide a workaround until your server is back online?

Same issue here with multiple sites running Kleo.
As soon as I switch back to a regular theme, the WordPress Admin pannel is back at full speed.
Turning on and off plugins didn’t change a thing, speedwise.

I have the issue with Kleo 4.2.4.2, 4.2.4.1 and 4.2.4.

Would be nice to have a quick fix, since this is pretty problematic.
Thanks and good luck!

I have found a quick workaround for this issue. It is a band-aid, but will get sites running again:

Comment out line 400 in the required-plugins.php file under kleo/lib/

Change line from:
$version_get = wp_remote_get( 'http://updates.seventhqueen.com/check/kleo/plugin_version.php?name=' . $name );

To:
//$version_get = wp_remote_get( 'http://updates.seventhqueen.com/check/kleo/plugin_version.php?name=' . $name );

Obviously this will omit the important required plugins and compatibility check, so you will need to un-comment it when Kleo team fixes the server issue.

Hi, please update to latest Kleo theme version and the issue should be fixed.

Sorry for any inconveniences. Any front-end experience was not affected.

Thanks for understanding
