[Closed] I was getting error : wordpress database error command out of sync

Hello!

I'll try to help you out while a supporter takes on your case.

Please check this thread out: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3632075/why-is-mysqli-giving-a-commands-out-of-sync-error

Out of sync errors are not really "WPML errors" but i can see why these problems could happen when WPML was making some database calls.

There are times when the site needs to make a lot of database calls, maybe just for a moment (when you update a plugin, or there are new things on the site, for example).

As you could see in the thread, this error happens when new queries are sent when old ones haven't finished yet. This could mean so many things:

- The hosting has a restriction on queries per second which makes the queries behave slower than what it needs. you could try your hosting about query limits, database restrictions, etc.

- The site has some cache and is trying to run queries of things it had already processed. flushing the cache on the server and the site would help here.

- There are simply too many queries that your server can't handle at the moment

- The server could be overloaded or your plan doesn't have enough resources to handle all these queries.

This could also be temporary, however i suspect this issue could actually disappear with our beta version, since String Translation could be making excessive calls at the moment, which is an issue that is happening to some specific sites and that we fixed in our new version of WPML and String Translation.

You can try to take a site backup and then give it a try: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-install-beta-and-development-versions-of-wpml/

Let us know how it goes.
