Options table autoincrement grow

  • Hello,

    If i check this option

    Give blocked users a second chance with a CAPTCHA Form:

    it adds several records in wp_options table per spammer request (comment or login).

    On our heavy traffic site this makes autoincrement value of wp_options primary index grow quite fast. I got a value of 988928 for 2 days.

    I recommend in next versions of the plugin separate db table for saving captcha data OR saving in temp files and cron job for garbage collect.

  • I have used a couple of different strategies. WordPress’s transient data api is terrible. What I really need is a cookie, but it cookies sometimes break WordPress and interfere with other plugins.

    I probably will not be releasing a new version of the plugin, but if I do, I intend to fix this, but I am not sure how, yet.
