WPAIO clogs up my database

In the first instance can you try simply deactivating and reactivating the plugin, does this reduce the number of rows.

Can you also try adding this to your themes functions.php

add_filter( ‘aiowps_max_rows_event_table’, ‘change_table_rows_remaining’, 10, 1 );
add_filter( ‘aiowps_max_rows_failed_logins_table’, ‘change_table_rows_remaining’, 10, 1 );
add_filter( ‘aiowps_max_rows_login_attempts_table’, ‘change_table_rows_remaining’, 10, 1 );
add_filter( ‘aiowps_max_rows_global_meta_table’, ‘change_table_rows_remaining’, 10, 1 );

function change_table_rows_remaining( $rows ) {
return ‘1000’;

Thank you! It now seems that the database filled up so quickly because of a DDOS attack, causing 1.5 million 404 messages in one day by only a handful of IP addresses.

I think it would be great if All In One Security could detect such an attack and limit the number of 404 lines itself to a number defined in the settings, without having to change a php file.

I think that there is a closing bracket } missing after the return ‘1000’;

Hi,

Sincere apologies, it was missing a bracket. As for your suggestion, that is an excessive amount of message. I will talk to our development team about it.

@vupdraft @pierregielen We would like to make max rows capped to 1000 instead of 5000. It might be released in the next release or next to next release.
