    Hi,
    After WordPress upgrade to version 4.8, I’m experiencing a problem with huge number of cron jobs from HugeIT Imgage Gallery plugin.
    This is slowing my site down by writing huge Update queries and other operations.

    From friday’ reset of cron jobs to present moment:
    SELECT * FROM XXXwp_options WHERE option_name LIKE ‘cron’ ;

    Size of this field is 1MB where almost all of them are “hugeit_image-gallery_opt_in_cron” in number over 5000 (from that time).

    [1500308179] => Array
    (
    [hugeit_image-gallery_opt_in_cron] => Array
    (
    [XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX] => Array
    (
    [schedule] => hugeit-image-gallery-weekly
    [args] => Array
    (
    )

    [interval] => 604800
    )

    )

    )

    It seems that every visit generates one entry into serialized array stored database (field option_name=’cron’).

    I’m also using cache plugin, but I didn’t notice this problem before.

    What is purpose of this and how it could be fixed?

  • It’s time time avoid this plugin. My average site load time was “399 queries in 0.556 seconds.” and now it’s became “399 queries in 4.569 seconds.”

    I found thousand of wordpress transient options for this plugin.

    Hi,

    you might want to take a look at my thread here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-creates-cron-tasks-wp_options-table/

    It’s a mystery to us all why they’re not fixing it. There is a simple bugfix for the problem, however an official update would be greatly appreciated…

    Best regards,

    I have the same problem. The plugin full of events my page and I can not erase them, I have more 3000 hugeit_image-gallery_opt_in_cron …
    The truth is that I am very annoyed with the creators of this plug in.

    EDIT:

    Try installing the updated plugin after reading the previous comments, and then deactivating and uninstalling to check if it deleted the events but nothing happened; I still have more than 3000 events

    Hi, thank’s for quick reaction. Last update helped. It stops cron jobs from multiply.
    Entries that was added before stays, update didn’t delete them, but I clear it manually, and from that time everything is OK.

    For cleanning cron can be used:

    In SQL: UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = '' WHERE option_name = 'cron'
    In wordpress: update_option('cron', '');

    Deat chuckster_pl,

    Thank you so much for the updates.
    We are very happy to see you have managed to fix the issue with the latest update.
