wp_options table overloaded by Event Espresso – more than 300k lines!

Event Espresso is adding ‘sessions’ to the options table in my WordPress website, but they never get deleted. I just cleaned out more than 300,000 records from Event Espresso after my client’s website came to a screeching halt.

This is what we see:

I’m worried that we’ll have the same issue shortly. How do we make sure this doesn’t happen again?

Hi Christian,

Can you contact the folks from the Shopp plugin about this? It turns out that EE3 does not write its session data to the _options table, but it appears that Shopp saves all standard session data to the _options table. Maybe they can come up with a way to only log Shopp’s sesssions to the _options table as there are many WP plugins that use sessions.

Very interesting to learn this. I’ll pass it over to Shopp now.

I do have a couple of other problems that are specific to EE3 – best to ask them here or create a new thread?

Hi Christian,

A new thread would be best unless it’s related to the wp_options table.
