Hi Tom,

A 250MB database limit, especially for a site running WooCommerce, is very low, so increasing the database optimization and transient cleanup timeframe will be a “band-aid” at best. Your site will likely also have performance issues if you’re frequently deleting transients. So I’d definitely recommend you consider upgrading your hosting.

I think it’s unlikely other users will need or want to optimize this frequently (even _hourly_ is likely more frequently than most sites should running optimization), so we don’t plan on adding this schedule to the options.

Having said that, here’s how you can change the schedule to every 30 minutes:

1. Install the excellent WP Crontrol plugin.
2. On the Cron Schedules tab, add a new schedule with an interval of 1800 seconds:

3. Switch to the Cron Events tab, find the row with the odb_scheduler event, hover over it and click “Edit.”

4. Adjust the recurrence to your new 30 minute schedule:

5. That should do it! On the Cron Events page it should now show the new schedule. (Note, it may need to run once on the older schedule before it resets to 30 minutes.

You can uninstall the WP Crontrol plugin after doing this.

Note, if you edit the settings for Optimize Database After Deleting Revisions, and change the schedule in the drop-down, it will override the above changes.

Hope that helps!

Thank you!

Hi @jmpl123!

Since it’s been over a month since Colin replied, I’m going to mark this thread as “Resolved” — but we’d still be happy to help with this customization, if you’d like! If that’s the case, please reply back with your website address, so we can provide you with some custom CSS to make this tweak.

Thanks!

Best,

Andrew

As @cdevroe mentioned, Hubbub Lite doesn’t include the ability to customize what happens when someone clicks the “Pin” button. However, Hubbub Pro does indeed include a wide range of flexible options — including multiple hidden pin images (to allow users to pick from a specific set of images), or the ability to have users pin only a single, Pinterest-optimized image of your choosing.

Hope that helps clarify!

Hi @ashf,

I’m guessing you’re referring to the “Shares” count that’s displayed in the list of All Posts? You can hide that by clicking on “Screen Options’ and then un-checking the “Shares” box.

Or if you’re talking about something else, can you please reply back with the specific screen that you’re on, and maybe a screenshot? Then we’ll be happy to help!

Best,

Andrew

Hi @jarld,

I’m sorry to hear about your experience with Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions.

We took over the plugin in January, 2024, and have not had any other reports similar to this. The plugin also has over 80,000 active installations, so if this were a widespread issue I’m sure we would have seen many complaints by now.

We’d be happy to help troubleshoot (since this is a free plugin, the forums are the the best place for that). I hope we could also get more information so we can take any steps necessary to help ensure that something like this doesn’t happen to someone else as well!

Thanks,

Andrew

HI @carmpocalypse — thanks for letting us know! I just fixed it. ??

Excellent! Glad we got that sorted out. Cheers! ??

Hi @malae,

Since we haven’t heard back in nearly a month, and as far as we know, version 5.2.1 has fixed all the outstanding issues, I’m going to mark this as resolved.

However, if you’re still seeing any issues, please let us know and we’re happy to take another look!

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Alex @portalzine!

Thanks for flagging this. Seems like a straightforward improvement we can make… I’ve added it to our to-do list. ??

Cheers!

Hi @andreymaksmiov1965 – So glad to hear that it’s working correctly for you now! Appreciate your patience as we figured this out. ??

Best,

Andrew

Hi @lsbk,

Thanks for sending those screenshots via email; it was very helpful!

We’ve released version 5.2.2 which should fully resolve the issues you were seeing. (For the record: It was due to a capital letter in the database name. 5.2.2 fixes the sanitization to accommodate for that scenario.)

I appreciate your patience as we figured that out!

Thanks again,

Andrew

Hi @lsbk,

Thanks for your patience. We just released 5.2.1 which fixes the one-click link in the admin bar — though it sounds like there’s more going on here than that.

You can use an image hosting service like https://postimages.org/ to upload your images, and then link them here via URL. Alternatively, if you’d like to email us directly, please send them to [email protected] (Add a note asking to send it to Andrew).

If you can include a screenshot of all your settings, and anything else that’s not working as expected, that would be super-helpful.

Thanks!

Hi @malae,

Thanks for this info. We just released 5.2.1 which should fix the One-Click link in the admin bar.

For the other issues you’ve been encountering, I’m a little unclear on the problem. Is it that you had it set to keep 6 revisions, but the optimization removed one too many, leaving only 5?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi @lsbk,

Thanks for following up, and for trying the new Admin account. We are now thinking the issue may be related to the one-click optimization button (in the menus).

If you go to Tools > Optimize Database, and then click the “Optimize (detail)” button, does that work as expected?

Thanks again,

Andrew
