Plugin creates multiple entries in wp_options active_plugins

    After activating the plugin everything went well but the site started getting slow so I did some research and found out that the active_plugins row in wp_options table is now 40MB+ in size and the problem is with this plugin making thousands of registrations over and over again.

    I tried disabling the plugin, manually deleting the entries and even deleting and recreating the row with new ID but nothing works, something is registering the plugin over and over again even after it is deleted.

    Hi @borkomkd,

    If something happens when Really Simple SSL is not activated, this cannot be caused by Really Simple SSL: when deactivated, there is no code active. Did you try deactivating other plugins to see if there’s something there?

    I can’t deactivate plugins cause the plugins page is not functioning. It can’t load 60.000+ plugins.

    I tried manually deactivating plugins by editing the active_plugins entry but as soon as I edit it it is overwritten by multiple instances of Really Simple SSL.

    Maybe a caching plugin can cause this will try deleting those too, just checking to see if you encountered something similar.

    You can manually try deactivating the plugins by renaming the plugins folder, or a specific plugin using FTP.

    Let me know if that helps!

    Hi @borkomkd,

    I suspect this was caused by something unrelated to Really Simple SSL. If you have additional info, let me know and we’ll take a look. As there haven’t been any updates on this for a week, I’ll close this topic.

    Removing the plugin manually didn’t help. Deactivating plugin didn’t work and force-deactivate didn’t do much either.

    I thought it was a problem with w3tc, uninstalled that completely and still didn’t achieve anything.

    Also tried deactivating all plugins and used a 2019 theme. Nothing made any difference. The record is added in wp_options active_plugins over and over again.

    Maybe there a database process hangs. As the issue even occurs when all plugins are deactivated, it might be a crashed database process. you hosting company can check this for you.

    Did you check your mu-plugins folder for custom code?
