Filling up table postmeta

Hello,

I did find this meta key in which is filling up postmeta table, why is that, when it has no value?

wd_page_css_files

Wierd is that it is filling up DB with thousands of rows as we speak. Is there any cronjob adding these or?

Hello,

Please, provide us your admin, FTP, and database access so we can check why it works this way.

Kind Regards

Hello,

Ok, details added in the private section.

I have tried to follow up on what is triggering it but not easy, seems like it is running periodically and then adding the wd_page_css_files to both postmeta and termmeta.

It fills up with hundreds of rows and then they are all deleted again before it starts filling in again. Really wierd.

Hello again,

I just found that it is added to postmeta and termmeta on page/product visit. Then ALL is deleted if i deactivate any plugin. No matter which plugin, just deactivate any plugin and all rows in db is deleted.

Yes, that is correct. This meta stores all CSS files needed to be loaded on the page. And all this data is cleared on different events like plugin activation/deactivation or Theme Settings changes.

Hello again,

I have now checked my staging site and did find the same there, but here the meta key had values. So i then changed all performance settings to the same as used with my live site and now both sites works the same. On page/product visits the wd_page_css_files is added to postmeta/termmeta with no values. If i save theme settings or deactivate any plugins all wd_page_css_files are removed from DB.

Tested with all plugins and child theme, my own customisations + + disabled but the same is the same. DB fills up with empty wd_page_css_files and they get removed again on any admin changes.

Hello,

Empty values are stored only in case you use our “Combine CSS” option. We will fix this in our next theme update. If this option is turned off, it stores correct values with list of CSS files required for that page.

Kind Regards

Ok, so no problem then. Just thought it was unnecessay to add it to db as long as it was empty, with no values.

Anyway thanks, problems solved 😉

Rune

OK, you are welcome!
