I am trying to: Load the site

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: every site

I expected to see:

Instead, I got:

We have a problem with: wp_icl_string_pages

I already checked https://wpml.org/faq/why-string-translation-appears-to-slow-down-sites/ => we did not have a check there

The table has a size of 2.6GB on my website preispirat.ch

Here's the info my serveradmins sent:

| 10657051 | preissspirat_dbu | localhost | preissspirat_db | Query | 0 | Sending data | SELECT * FROM `wp_icl_string_pages` LIMIT 22261000, 1000 |

-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 2.6G Jun 24 15:59 wp_icl_string_pages.ibd

Any advice?

Hi Shekar

Thanks for your help.

I did that, it's a bit better now.

But still, the table size is larger than 500MB (from 2.6GB). I did not translate many strings.. it should not be that huge, should it? What can I do?

Hello there,

Seems unusual, could you please provide me login details so I can check this issue further? To debug this issue further, I would need to check your site settings once, for this I would need temporary access (wp-admin and ftp) to your site.

So could you please provide me those details, you will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

I don't know why, but the table is now just 5.22MB which is not unusual I think

It's blown up again to 2GB :/ *Recreate ST DB cache tables* helped again, but is there not a permanent solution? I don't want to click that button every two weeks 🙂
