WordPress database error Deadlock found when trying to get lock

Hi there,

I noticed that the feed had not updated for several days.

I checked the error logs and found:

WordPress database error Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction for query DELETE FROMwp_optionsWHEREoption_name= '_transient_twitter_data_PhoenixLeeds_3' made by require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-includes/template-loader.php'), include('/themes/phoenix2019/single.php'), get_sidebar, locate_template, load_template, require_once('/themes/phoenix2019/sidebar.php'), get_template_part, locate_template, load_template, require('/themes/phoenix2019/components/twitterfeed.php'), do_shortcode, preg_replace_callback, do_shortcode_tag, good_old_twitter_shortcode, GoodOldTwitterWidget->good_old_twitter_messages, get_transient, delete_option

I guess this has something to do with my theme, but thought I would check as the problem occurred around about the time of the most recent plugin update release – it was working on my site before that.

Can you help at all?

Thanks.
