Hi Melvin,
Good news on the log line you pasted earlier: it’s fixed. The RAM batch estimator was running a PERCENTILE_CONT query that MySQL 8 and MariaDB don’t support in that form, so it threw a syntax error into your debug log on every queue run. A fallback was already handling the actual calculation, so conversions were never affected — it was log noise, not a functional bug. I’ve replaced it with a portable percentile calculation, released just now in v1.9.8. Once you update, that error will stop appearing.
While I was at it I also corrected the declared “Requires PHP” to 8.1 to match the codebase.
On the second item: as a rule I don’t open files hosted on external/temporary file-sharing links from support threads — nothing personal, it’s just a security practice I keep to. If there’s anything else in your log you’d like me to look at, the best way is to paste the relevant lines directly here as text and I’ll dig into them right away. The PHP notice about the “disable-dashboard-for-woocommerce” text domain, for what it’s worth, comes from that other plugin and isn’t related to this one.
Thanks again — update to 1.9.8 and let me know if anything still shows up in the log.

Excellent thank you. Fixed
About external file, I use that to demonstrate the bug, without saving the image on my server as this is for demonstration purposes and these files automatically expire later on , on a temp domain. Maybe you could recommend your preferencial temp site. It is worth nothing at wordpress.org does not allow image uploads here, so it tricky.
Glad it’s fixed! And thanks for explaining — that makes sense, and you’re right that wordpress.org doesn’t allow image uploads in the forum, so I understand the need for an external link.
For sharing screenshots, my honest recommendation is to skip the temporary file-hosts — some of them wrap the download page in aggressive ads/redirects that can land on sketchy pages, which is the only reason I didn’t open the earlier ones (nothing personal, just a habit I keep). A couple of cleaner options:
- Imgur (imgur.com) or a GitHub Gist for images — direct, no redirects, free.
- For logs specifically, the easiest is to just paste the relevant lines as plain text right here in the reply. Text is actually better than a screenshot for me anyway, because I can copy the exact query or error string and search the codebase for it directly.
So for anything log-related, plain text in the thread is ideal. For visual stuff (UI glitches etc.), an Imgur link works great.
Thanks again for all the testing — genuinely made the plugin better this week.

Great and thanks for you recommendation. Will register at imgur.
Sure I will paste code errors here if any issues arise
I am grateful for all the timely fixes. Cheers
