 * Thanks, this has been reported a few times but so far I’ve been unable to reproduce
   the problem. I don’t know under what situation the `wp-content/db.php` file could
   be loaded without WordPress itself also having been loaded.
 * Previous thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-435/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-435/)
 * * Do you have any idea when this error appears? eg. does it appear when viewing
   a certain page or performing a certain action?
    * Can you provide a list of active
   plugins on your site?

 * Hi John,
 * As far as I recall this is the first time I have seen this error.
 * I forwarded it as it was a) lengthy (not the normal 1-line notice) and b) it 
   related to a future version php warning.
 * As I recall, I had just deactivated your plugin which had been running for a 
   few days, as I was not finding any useful information as to which script was 
   causing our high cpu load and excessively high load-averages on the server.
 * We use Cache Enabler (CE) which was set to empty the cache when any plugin was
   activated or deactivated. This has been an issue for us, for if the Cache is 
   full at say, >250Mb, then it often caused a critical error when a plugin was 
   deactivated.
 * This is most likely what happened here. I deactivated Query Monitor with a full
   cache and it threw out that warning message.
 * FYI, I have now changed the CE settings so it does not empty the cache on a plugin
   activation or deactivation – as the plugins I turn on and off often are only 
   for testing etc. and not post content related.
 * Actually, things work much better now that the CE cache remains active, and I
   am able to turn your plugin off and on without throwing an error message. I know
   because I just tested it here and now.
 * I hope this helps.
 * A list of our plugins is below.
 * Since you are aware of this, I will make this issue as resolved….. or at least
   known 🙂
 * If you need more information, please do just ask. Pleased to help if I can.
 * Regards and thanks,
    Angus
