It’s a pity to see the project seems to be abandoned. Really wanted to see the automatic log remover that was promised some years ago.

It creates huge table wp_cbnetpo_ping_optimizer 724.98 MB

Is there any option to clean it ?

When I bulk send post to trash your script breaks my site. It throw header errors.

Hello, I have around 10 WordPress sites. I was in my server last night and noticed one of the SQL DB files was huge compared to others, it is over 6GB where as most of my SQL files are 10-100mb. Granted, the site relative to the 6GB SQL file is my biggest site, but 6GB?

So, I did some investigation and spoke with my server company who are always very helpful. He tells me that most of the space in the file is taken up by wp_mbp_ping_optimizer

What is this? Can the SQL file be cleaned of this data? Should I be worried?

Thanks, in advance.

Hi all, Thank you for using the WordPress Ping Optimizer. Please submit your issues if any. I will try to update and fix the issue on priority.

Hello guys,

I need to update my site’s PHP to a newer version, so I would like to know what PHP version your plugin supports.
Wordpress is recommending a minimum version of 7.4. Does your plugin support this version?

Thanks

Hello, notice to these 3 plugins:
Do the 3 plugins complement each other or actually do the same job?

No Self PingsWordPress Ping Optimizer
T???? ?

For @fudgeminers and @fabioperri and all others who requested it. Here is code to delete the ping logs on a schedule. I put this in the mu-plugins folder, but you can put it in the regular plugins folder if you wish:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Empty Ping Optimizer Logs every 72 Hours
Plugin URI: 
Description: Removes log entries older than 72 hours in the WordPress Ping Optimizer Plugin
Author: Brian Brown, Ph.D.
Version: 2020.12.16.15.18
Author URI:
*/
defined( 'ABSPATH'  ) or die( 'No script kiddies please!' );
add_action('init','bjb_delete_ping_optimizer');
add_action('bjb_ping_optimizer','bjb_ping_optimizer_func');

function bjb_ping_optimizer_func() {
    global $wpdb;
    $sql = 'DELETE FROM '.$wpdb->prefix.'cbnetpo_ping_optimizer WHERE date_time < DATE_ADD( NOW(), INTERVAL -72 HOUR )';
    $wpdb->query( $sql );

}

function bjb_delete_ping_optimizer(){
  if(!wp_next_scheduled('bjb_ping_optimizer_trim_logs')) {
       wp_schedule_event (time(), 'daily', 'bjb_ping_optimizer_trim_logs');
    }
}

I save it as mt-ping-logs.php but you can name it anything that you want.
I should also add that this does NOT reset the ping count (stored in the options table), since that value is there whether it is zero or 10,000 or whatever, so it takes up nearly the same ‘space’ (bit count) for all practical purposes.
Cheers!

Hi dear Pakaj Jha,

First, congratulations on your great plugin.

I ask you the courtesy to consider the implementation of this features:

1) Add the ability to automatically delete on the basis of a choice of time (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly) the “Ping LOG” file automatically generated by your plugin and this to avoid having a “Ping LOG” file which over time would become gigantic;

2) Add the ability to automatically delete the “Ping LOG” file automatically generated by your plugin on the basis of the size of the “Ping LOG” file chosen by the user and this to avoid having a “Ping LOG” file which over time would become gigantic;

3) Add the ability to enable or disable the automatic creation of the “Ping LOG” by your plugin.

I look forward to receiving your reply to know if you will implement these features requested by me and if and when you decide to do so.

For the moment I thank you for all the excellent work you are doing and have a good day!

Thanks in advance for the support and for your time.

Sincerely, Fabio Perri.

Hi Pankaj!
I thought I would give yu a heads up. Your plugin is sending:
The plugin generated 263 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.
on activation. If I get some time, I’ll try to look into it and suggest a fix.
Thanks!

Hey there,

It this is something I noticed when I started using the plugin a long time ago. The font on the WordPress dashboard changes (looks like the font size goes up) when opening the settings for WPO.

Only used Chrome or Chromium-based browsers so I’m not sure if others are affected in the same way.

Maybe you can patch something in the next update.

Thanks,
Simon

We recently updated to Version: 2.35.1.2.0. Since then, when we click on the “WordPress Ping Optimizer” option under under settings, it produces a blank page. We’ve deactivated the plugin then reactivated it, still nothing. We uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled it, producing the same result.

Any suggestions?

Last version of plugin

PHP 7.3: “Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /home/u98436/abamusru/blog/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-ping-optimizer/cbnet-ping-optimizer.php on line 533”

Getting the following error message in my logs since upgrading to PHP 7.2 (was previously using PHP 7.0 without any problems):

PHP Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-ping-optimizer/cbnet-ping-optimizer.php on line 533

Also, would it be possible to add a setting for the number of log items to keep and display? Every time the plugin updates, I have to change these lines in the plugin files:

	var $cbnetpo_max_log = 1000;   		// Maximum lines of log data to be stored
	var $cbnetpo_rows_to_show = 35;        // Number of log rows to be displayed in options page

I change both to 2000…

Thanks in advance for looking into these issues for me!

Why do i get these errors ?

[ Please do not bump. ]

Is there a pinging list?

Is there a way to ping posts in the wp-foro?

can you add wp cron delete logs?

Hello guys,

For the plugin to work, do I need to have cron active on my site?

I ask because I have the WP Control plugin activated on my site (multisite network), but I inserted the line below into wp-config.php:

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

Is there any problem?

Thank you,
Rodrigo

Hi,

I’d like to upgrade my various WP sites from 4.9 to 5.0.2 however I noticed your plugin is only tested up to 4.9.9.
When do you think it will be tested for 5.0.2 please, so I can upgrade my websites to V5 of WP please.

With Thanks

Hi,

I’ve got this message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 83 bytes) in /var/www/ud24_166/html/garten-pflanzen/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1889

What can I do to fix this?

Thx.

Silly question, does the ping log only record the pings it blocked, or does it also show the pings that went out?

(having both would be really nice).

Hello,

On every page load, I am seeing 3 instances of this error show up in my Apache error log:

mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-ping-optimizer/cbnet-ping-optimizer.php on line 533

Are you able to fix this and make the plugin more PHP 7.2 compatible?

Thank you.

Hello, I upgraded to PHP 7.0.29 this past Fall and found a large number of PHP errors in debug mode as well as deprecated functions. Has the plugin been redone to be fully PHP 7 compatible now since approximately last September?

Dear Plug-in author

I am Japanese. I am writing this sentence using google translation.
I am sorry if there are places that are difficult to understand.

When “WordPress Ping Optimizer” is used in the PHP 7.2 environment,
“Warning: count (): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /home/gerrysey/domains/wncselfdefense.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-ping-optimizer/cbnet-ping-optimizer.php on line 533 ”
An error will be displayed.
The corresponding part is in line 594 of “cbnet-ping-optimizer.php”

$ pingCount = count ($ this-> cbnetpo_future_pings);

It is described as.

Since var_dump outputted the value of $ pingCount, “int (1)” was displayed
When I changed $ pingCount = count ($ this-> cbnetpo_future_pings); to $ pingCount = 1 ;, the error ceased to appear.
But this did not really tell if plugging worked properly.
Am I correct what I made?
If you have a better way please let me know.
