Database error

Hello @dsl225

Thank you for contacting the support.

Please update to the latest version of the plugin and then clear the cache.

After clearing the cache, please click on these buttons in Status & Tools section:
https://i.rankmath.com/gdJpkK

Please let us know if that helps.

Many thanks for this, good to know those settings exist.
Looks better already but prefer to wait a bit and see what happens.
Marking this as resolved for the time being and will get back here if it happens again.

Hello @dsl225

Sure, please.

Hi folks,

I thought I would let you know that I’m still getting the same every now and then.

WordPress database error Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now for query SELECT autoload FROM ajlzt_options WHERE option_name = 'rank_math_notifications' made by shutdown_action_hook, do_action('shutdown'), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, MyThemeShop\Notification_Center->update_storage, delete_option

I did the recommended actions above but still getting the same error every 2-3 days.
Everything runs normally though and I can’t see any issues caused by this.

Hello @dsl225

Upon researching further online, we found that few other users have reported such issues with WPML, Shield, etc. plugins.

The most common reasons for this error are
1. Cache plugin – You can check if the error is logged again by clearing/disabling the cache plugin and also on the server-side.

2. Memory getting exhausted – If the log file is showing memory-related errors then this could be the reason

3. A theme or a plugin is running a query and not completing it – You can check if another plugin is not causing this problem by creating a staging site with only Rank Math plugin activated.

Following are the links of the issues where other users have reported this error:

Thanks for investigating this.
I’ll check this further then.
