Database full of revisions & syndication_item_hash

  • For the past few weeks my database has been growing massively with revisions and a syndication_item_hash key in postmeta. I have revisions turned off in my config file, but still they’re occurring. This is only happening to posts that FeedWordPress is fetching, so I’m fairly sure this plugin is the culprit. No settings have been changed since this started happening, either. I even installed this in a test environment all by itself and the same issue was happening there as well, so I can also rule out another plugin issue. I’m guessing something changed with the lastest update.

    Surely I’m not the only one with this issue. Is the plugin author not monitoring these forums? My database is a disaster from constant cleanup of revisions and the syndication_item_hash key. Is there another plugin that does the same thing as this one and doesn’t suffer from the same problems? My site depends on and was built around this plugin so without it this particular site would not exist.

    The item hash is used to check if a certain post was already indexed by FWP so it has a purpose.

    I understand its purpose, but why do I need 1000s of copies of the exact same entry? When you have 10s of thousands posts just from the feeds alone these hashes makes the database extremely large for no reason. It makes absolutely no sense. If the hash doesn’t change, why does it need to be added again? There is no difference whatsoever to the key from different updates. So, it’s just wasted space.
