    Here is the warning I got with Updraft Plus:

    • A very large file was encountered: plugins/stop-spammer-registrations-plugin/data/.sfs_debug_output.txt (size: 4329.1 Mb)

    How to prevent this?

    Is it ok just to delete this file?

    I found this other thread:

    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/large-file-2-4gb-sfs_debug_output-txt/

    So, as they say, just:
    go to the plugin’s directory and modify includes/stop-spam-utils.php
    You’ll find two “$debug = true;” replace by “$debug = false;”

    And by the way:
    Is it ok just to delete this file? Yes, sure. But modify stop-spam-utils.php and prevent from generating again

    thanks!

    I want to apologize for this. While I fundamentally think there’s far too much debugging code in the legacy version of Stop Spammers in general, I will preserve this feature for those that might still use it. Still, the sane default is most certainly to have it off by default.

    Version 2025, which will be available shortly, fixes this and many other issues.
