I’m getting thousands of entries in the wp_options table. All of the loggins options are turned off in the Debug/Logging Options section.

Examples of entries:

_transient_ee_ssn_3b248a4270f6fb5cef7f596a2046da11
_transient_timeout_ee_ssn_58f0555de889a30d95f27e5020a2fbf0

I checked forums and saw mentions of the Shopp plugin. I am not using this plugin.

Hi Joseph,

Those entries are actually supposed to be there, but only for a short period of time. They are used as keys to connect the registration data to the current registration session.

It looks like they are staying there permanently. Table currently has 102379 total rows and is growing. This is not a very busy site.

If they’re not getting deleted then that’s an indication that wp_cron() is deactivated on your website. If you install the WP Crontrol plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/

then go to Tools > Cron Events you can see a list of scheduled tasks. If you can check that page can you see if there are any messages that indicate “WP-Cron spawning is disabled.”?

I installed plugin and everything looked okay. I did see one item set to Non-repeating. Here’s a screen shot of that section also.

That particular task is for removing a single transaction item if the registration is abandoned before the registration form is submitted. (in this case, transaction ID 72879). Since a single specific transaction can only be deleted only one time, it’s a non-repeating task.

Does your wp_options table have an option where its option_value is
ee_transient_schedule?

I could not find that option in the wp_options table

I think you’d need to search by option_name to find that particular option.

In any case you can install this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/transients-manager/

Then go to WP > Tools > Transients, then click on the “Delete Expired Transients” button.
