Description:
Madara Core 2.1.1 is a hot fix release for Madara Core 2.1, published by MangaBooth on March 19, 2025. It addresses a memory problem that affects sites running Madara Core 2.1, and it is intended for site owners whose WordPress manga sites have grown large in content and are experiencing performance issues as a result.
The problem this version solves is tied to the built-in sitemap feature that was added to Madara recently. On sites with a lot of Mangas or Series, this sitemap feature consumes a large amount of memory. That memory consumption grows as the number of series on the site increases, and the result is a slowdown of the site itself. Site owners who noticed increasing memory usage while running Madara Core 2.1 were advised to update to this new version to resolve the issue.
The way the fix works is straightforward. Version 2.1.1 has temporarily disabled the built-in sitemap feature, which removes the source of the excess memory consumption. At the same time, the feature has not been removed entirely. Sites that do not run into the performance issue can still turn the sitemap back on if they want to use it. This gives site owners a choice between full performance on large sites and keeping the sitemap active on sites where memory use is not a concern.
Re-enabling the sitemap is done with a small piece of code. You add a filter to the functions.php file of your child theme. The filter is named wp_manga_sitemap_enabled, and your function should return true so that the sitemap becomes active again. MangaBooth provides this snippet in its announcement so that site owners can copy it into their child theme when they decide they want the sitemap on their site. In summary, this release is a targeted maintenance update for Madara Core users with large manga libraries, fixing a slowdown caused by the recently added sitemap while leaving that feature available through a simple filter for sites that can use it without problems.
