Support » Plugin: Redirection » logs accumulating despite settings

    While preparing to migrate our website, I noticed that our Redirection log had over 100,000 rows in the database and was over 27 MB. It stretched back to 2014.

    In our settings page, the “times to keep logs for” settings are both set at 1 week.

    Why are they still accumulating like this?

    The logs are cleared gradually as deleting a large amount of logs can have a negative impact on the performance of your site. Also, the logs are cleared using WP CRON. Some sites disable or modify this.

    Does WP CRON work on your site? Is it possible that the logs are being deleted slower than they are accumulating?

    Thanks! And thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I suspect that may have been a problem with the WP CRON.

    We’ve made some changes which I think will help. We’ll check back again in a few weeks and see. If we still have a problem we’ll know where to investigate. Your help and response much appreciated!
