Redirection / 404 Logs Filling Up – Ignores Options Setting

Log is still filling up. It is set to delete entries older than 1 week.

Same problem here.

I also have this problem; logs are kept no matter the setting. They are even kept with the ‘no logs’ option.

I am also seeing this problem. I have checked several things:

• wp_cron is working (scheduled posts are working, I can see wp-cron.php accesses in the server logs, etc.)
• The redirection_options are being stored in the database with the correct settings.
• The redirection_log_delete action does dhow up in the database’s cron option.

So it seems that all the pieces are there, but the logs keep growing. I have it set to get rid of redirection logs weekly and 404 logs daily. It’s definitely not working.

I’ve created a bug report for this here:

https://github.com/johngodley/redirection/issues/18

I’ll look into it for the next version.

Don’t forget that the database user (which is shown in your wp_config.php file stored at website root) must have full permissions to delete data in the database.

In some cases I’ve seen folks set up the database without all permissions. If that permission isn’t there in the MySQL system, there is no way for a plugin to delete the entries… And that wouldn’t be a plug-in defect in any way.

Can you delete other content from the mySQL database thru the WordPress admin panel? (Delete = delete from the trash folder, really delete something…) Add a fake post or fake page.. try to delete it. It goes to trash folder. Then go to trash folder try to delete it. I’m guessing that will fail for you.

This bug was fixed in a later release.

Thanks kentbigdog.

Mine was still filling up even with the most recent version. I had to go back and save the 1 week setting. When I did that the log was trimmed. Will mark issue as resolved and reopen only if it requires this manual intervention again.
