    Hi. I’m getting loads of these same messages appear in the site error logs.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi @greencode, thank-you for your detailed message highlighting the issue.

    This has cropped up before, almost exclusively on sites running Litespeed, and does seem related to the database being unavailable at certain times that Wordfence (and other plugins) are trying to use it.

    I must point out that the exact same error appears with other plugins too when seeing error logs we’ve been sent from other sites. That said, Litespeed also runs fine for many customers, so your host might be able to troubleshoot why this is happening too. We believe that the issue is related to the database itself where MySQL/MariaDB is stopping, reconnecting and leaving the connection in a state that somehow causes this query error to appear.

    We usually request that you or your host check the database server logs and other logs for the website(s) on the server such as syslog etc. to see what else is going on with the server at the timestamp of these issues. I would expect the database to be unavailable temporarily, either because it is restarting or has crashed.

    Thanks,
    Peter.
