jelleB-4	Background of the issue: I am trying to stop thousands of unnecessary database update queries that are running daily on my site hidden link. These queries involve updating the `wp_icl_string_packages` and `wp_icl_strings` tables in the database. 5375 UPDATE `wp_icl_string_packages` SET `word_count` = '47' WHERE `id` = '31' 5375 UPDATE `wp_icl_strings` SET `string_package_id` = '31', `value` = 'Add New %s' WHERE `id` = '15961' 5375 UPDATE `wp_icl_strings` SET `string_package_id` = '31', `value` = 'Add or remove %s' WHERE `id` = '16001' 5375 UPDATE `wp_icl_strings` SET `string_package_id` = '31', `value` = 'A link to a %s' WHERE `id` = '16101' 5374 UPDATE `wp_icl_strings` SET `string_package_id` = '31', `value` = 'All %s' WHERE `id` = '15901' 5375 UPDATE `wp_icl_strings` SET `string_package_id` = '31', `value` = 'Choose from the most used %s' WHERE `id` = '16011' 5375 UPDATE `wp_icl_strings` SET `string_package_id` = '31', `value` = 'Edit %s' WHERE `id` = '15931' 5375 UPDATE `wp_icl_strings` SET `string_package_id` = '31', `value` = 'Filter by %s' WHERE `id` = '16041' 5375 UPDATE `wp_icl_strings` SET `string_package_id` = '31', `value` = '← Go to %s' WHERE `id` = '16081' Symptoms: Thousands of update queries are being executed daily without any apparent reason. Questions: Is there a way to stop these unnecessary update queries?

Itamar WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+03:00)	Hi, This ticket has been inactive for quite a while. I didn't get a reply from you. So, I've transformed this chat into a support ticket because you may still need our help. If you do, please reply to this ticket, and one of our supporters will continue helping you. This is what I wrote in the chat: You are using outdated versions of WPML, String Translation, WooCommerce Multilingual, and WooCommerce Multicurrency. The first step to investigate this case would be to update our plugins to their latest versions. If WooCommerce and ACF are also not updated, please also update them. It is also true for WordPress itself. Can you proceed with this and check? If you have a staging site, it would be better to check things on the staging site. ** Important! Please make a full site backup (files and DB) before you proceed with those steps** Regards, Itamar.
