Feedzy creating many transient records in wp_options table?

    Hello,

    I’m seeing that a large portion of my wp_options table contains records that are a random string of characters prefixed by one of the following:

    _transient_timeout_feed_mod_
    _transient_feed_mod_
    _transient_timeout_feed_
    _transient_feed_
    …and a couple of other variations of that

    I’m guessing that these are related to this plugin a) because of the prefix name and b) because the value for some of the records contains information from feeds that I’m pulling in.

    Our site crashed today due to the wp_options table crashing, and while I can’t be absolutely certain that this plugin was the culprit, it does appear that these transient records are bogging down that table.

    Hey,

    We are using the wordpress core feed wrappers and we do not have any custom cache ( transient ) manager integrated. So basically any feed based plugin or theme will create those transients in your database.

    The transients are stored in the database as you dont have a cache system integrated to your host.

    A solution to this would be to either activate a cache mechanism on your site which will prevent the transients to store in the DB or build a cron job that will delete them from db each X min or h.

    Let me know if you need anything else.
