Transient Bug

  • Hello,

    As seen below, the plugin creates millions of transients unnecessarily (duplicated).

    If I convert the timeout value from millisecond to date for the corresponding transient, It says Tue Jan 20 1970. Also, I added checked two random transients to see whether they’re duplicated or not:

    Because of the issue our database went crazy! Although I deleted all the transients, they automatically appeared again.

    Any idea? Thank you!

    This is not normal behavior for the plugin. It’s normal there be a lot of them built up over time, especially with a busy site, but certainly not enough to cause problems with the database. Transients are only made when a form is submitted, and normally, this does not happen often. They are not created on common events such as loading a page.

    What you’re seeing there may be caused by some kind of malfunction somewhere on your site. Especially when you say that the transients reappeared after they were deleted. They would normally build up slowly. On my site, there are less than 2000, and I have never cleared them out over many years of operation.

    Are you seeing any other odd behavior on your site?

    You could try managing them with a transient management plugin, but you should try to identify the underlying problem and solve it, really.
