WP Database tabes are DUPLICATED when installing/updating plugins

  • Hello everybody, I hope you can help me out with this:

    Every time I install or update a plugin, all my DB tables are duplicated with a different prefix. So if my DB has 50 tables and I update 1 plugin, the DB grows to 100 tables (50 with a different prefix), and if I update another plugin, another 50 tables are added.

    When I noticed, my DB had more then 4000 tables instead of the 42 it should have!

    I had to manually delete 4000+ tables using phpMyAdmin, but new tables kepts reappearing until I noticed this happened each time I installed or updated a plugin.

    This started happening to another 2 sites that I manage. I already disabled all the plugins, deleted all the extra tables, but as soon as I install/update a new one, this happens again.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • Very strange. I would replace (delete and replace rather than overwrite) all WordPress files except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. If that doesn’t help, I would contact your host. It sounds like the behaviour of a staging plugin/application. Does the host have something like this at the server level, which is pehaps misbehaving?
