Hello all,

I think this issue has been around for a while, I see similar posts from late 2014.  When I log in with a new ID, the initial display of the home page does not complete (the whirly is spinning for a long... time -- many minutes) until I navigate to another page.  Then, when I come back to the home page, I see the news and life is good.  A look at the error log shows:

...$  sudo tail -n 20 /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/ConfigAndLog/CiviCRM.e37 ... a4.log
[sudo] password for <admin user>:

Ideas for a fix welcome, or should I post an issue on this?

Dave,

I have seen this on two newly enabled user start-ups.  I wasn't looking closely for this behavior when it happened, but I will set up a test run and post in the issues log when I have more insight.  Thanks for the suggestion.

30 minutes later -- issue is posted (https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-15936), but I don't see a way to edit the posted issue descriptive text.  That would be handy for a newby like me who doesn't get a post right the first time around.  Suggestions welcome.
