Math Captcha and Jetpack Statistics Conflict
-
I have narrowed an issue causing our mysql database to crash due to a conflict between Math Captcha and Jetpack Statistics. The root of the cause has been narrowed down to excessive attempts by each page load to UPDATE the _Options table in the WP database. Each plugin, by themselves, doesn’t cause an UPDATE to occur. However, when running both plugins together I get 28 of these UPDATES to my database. Get a whole lot of simultaneous users at once, and that get’s multiplied fast enough to lock up a database – we’ve even had it corrupt the _Options table.
UPDATE _options
SET option_value = ‘b7807df715be9ec082b206a2cbca4561’
WHERE option_name = ‘_transient_random_seed’Automattic has opened up a Github issue there. Since this involves two separate plugins, you probably also need to look at how your coding for the transient_random_seed.
