This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is trying to clean up their wp_options table and is unsure about deleting or disabling autoload for WPML-related options. They are particularly concerned about the option '_wpml_jobs_not_notified' which is large in size.
Solution:
1. We advised the client not to delete essential WPML options or disable their autoload as they are crucial for WPML's functionality.
2. The '_wpml_jobs_not_notified' option stores temporary data about translation job notifications. It can be safely deleted if the client is not using WPML's Translation Management to connect to a translation service or assign translations to local translators. Deleting this option will not cause issues if the client decides to use WPML Translation Management in the future, as WPML will recreate the option as needed.
3. This option will likely regenerate if new translation jobs are created, but since all jobs are completed, it shouldn’t grow significantly unless new jobs are assigned.
4. The option remains because WPML doesn’t automatically remove completed jobs from the database, and it keeps metadata for completed jobs in case they need to be referenced later.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
