Large Number of Autoloaded Options Set

  • Hello,

    It looks like your plugin creates a crazy number of autoloaded options such as …

    Since WordPress v6.1 the “Dashboard – Tools – Site Health” check has started recommending that some sites should be using a “Persistent Object Cache”?if a site has more than 500 autoloaded options. Your plugin is generating nearly 10% of that number!

    Could you please see your way to either stop adding all these options by default if they’re not being used; none of the options above have been accessed with a get_option(), update_option() or add_option() command on our site since the plugin was installed and most of them seem to be empty!) or perhaps you could add them all into one array of serialised options (which seems to be the norm now).

    At the very least these options should be re-added so that they are set to $autoload = 'no' because they are not being used and shouldn’t be loaded on every request.

    Thank you,

    Oliver

    Hi @domainsupport, I’m sorry for missing this and not getting back to you sooner. The only technical reason and perhaps our plugin autoloads these options, is when those input fields are in use by any or all products, so I want to assume this is the case.

    But if you’re not using these options, you can start by disabling the “Load Timepicker Script” and “Load Datepicker Script” options. You can find both in WooCommerce >> Settings >> Product Input Fields >> General.

    In the meantime, we will investigate this further and make necessary adjustments and apply patches where we should.

    Thank you once again for bringing this to our attention.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Options are autoloaded by default when set unless specifically instructed not to when they are first saved.

    It looks like your plugin saves options even when they are not being used and saves them without setting $autoload to ‘no’.

    $autoload should only be set to ‘yes’ (or omitted) if an option is used on all or most page requests.

    I would suggest that the options are not saved (and deleted if they already exist) if they are not being utilised?

    Many thanks for looking into this.

    Thank you for your response, @domainsupport. We’re already investigating this and will fix it soon. We will also roll out the patch as part of the next update.

    Thank you once again for following up on this.

    Thank you. Perhaps the options could be amalgamated into one serialised array option?

    I look forward to the update.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    @domainsupport we will consider all options in order to get a way to implement this such that it doesn’t affect anything. Thanks once again for your follow up on this.
