hundreds of wp_rp_cron_extract_images_from_post non-repeating cron jobs

  • Anyone else running into a large amount of non-repeating cron jobs clogging up the cron event list? I have hundreds of jobs for:

    wp_rp_cron_extract_images_from_post

    It appears to be an indexing and extraction of the post image for the display of related posts thumbnail.

  • I just found this as well. I’m debugging a very slow wordpress site and there are 100K wp_rp_cron_extract_images_from_post jobs from over the past 3 months.

    I’m manually running wp cron event run wp_rp_cron_extract_images_from_post which is slowly clearing out the queue and reducing memory usage.

    I went ahead and removed all cron jobs related to this function and they did not return. Marked improvement afterward.

    This same bug returned and led a long day of server downtime. I strongly advise everyone cease using this plugin immediately and check your cron job list for the same issue.

    Hello Bozz,
    But, what plugin? I have the same problem. I deleted yesterday all the thousands of jobs that were standing there and today there are already some of them again. ?? What can we do to solve this? I did not find anything about this on the whole web.

    The plugin is ‘WordPress Related Posts’, linked in the right column of this support forum.
