WordPress uploading large tmp files to my host

  • I received a message from my host that my site is uploading large magick tmp files that aren’t being deleted. Anybody know what could be causing this? Perhaps a plugin of some kind?

  • So I did a bit of digging …

    1) update all plugins
    2) make sure you are running php greater than 5.6
    3) check momory/php settings

    “ImageMagick requires temporary disk space, for example, when you utilize a delegate program or if you are processing a large file that exceeds the memory resources of your system. When the command completes, there should not be any magick-* files left over. If there is, its a bug– unless ImageMagick fails due to some unrecoverable error. An example is, if you only have a small amount of free space in your /tmp folder and ImageMagick memory maps the file and the /tmp partition fills up. For that scenario, the OS issues an unrecoverable signal so the magick-* file remains.”
