Because of this, I cannot access WordPress admin, therefore cannot generate the logs you were asking for. * I can however use phpMyAdmin, which shows that `wfHoover` has 243871 total records for 53 MB. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/xWhLhXU) * The GZIP export of the table shows 1.8 million lines of values after “INSERT INTO”. The huge majority of them are links and images on URLs starting with`wp- content/cache/page_enhanced/mywebsite.com/` (which I assume are due to my W3TC plugin). * I chose a few random image filenames, and noticed one image file appears 120 times in the `wfHoover` export. I use the Transposh plugin for translations into 5 languages, so each image file appears 20 times per language, with 20 different` hostKey` values. * Is that expected behavior? * I now have to truncate the table to be able to access my website again. * Going forward, I’ll try the exclusion proposal you made on [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-scan-time-limit-of-8-hours-has-been-exceeded/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-scan-time-limit-of-8-hours-has-been-exceeded/) - This reply was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by [jbd7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbd7/).

When it gets too big and my hosts turns MySQL into a read-only DB, I drop it. It seems I should be using TRUNCATE instead of DROP, I’ll do that next time. * I have been launching manual scans since the last time I dropped `wfHoover`, but none (Limited scan or Complete scan) have re-created the `wfHoover` table.

However it seems we didn’t understand each other. * I’m not updating a theme. Updating Yoast will indeed replace custom modification that I have made to the Yoast plugin files. * I found some documentation on [https://developer.yoast.com/features/xml-sitemaps/api/](https://developer.yoast.com/features/xml-sitemaps/api/) but nothing about the `get_sitemap_links()` function, and it seems there’s filter for `wpseo_sitemap_entry` inside it, but I also can’t find examples on how to use it. * The `wpseo_xml_sitemap_post_url` hook wouldn’t work because it only alters 1 URL, while I need to add the translated URLs alongsisde the URL being processed by Yoast, and passing an array instead of a string is likely to break things. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Transposh WordPress Translation] Sitemap and metafields](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemap-and-metafields/) * [jbd7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbd7/) * (@jbd7) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemap-and-metafields/#post-16554743) * Transposh doesn’t seem to handle meta tags well: I don’t have them translated, even if the rest of the page is. * Even `` still shows `en_US` on translated pages. * For sitemaps, it integrates with Yoast SEO, if you follow the steps at [https://vidyut.net/transposh-translation-filter-yoast-sitemaps-compatibility/](https://vidyut.net/transposh-translation-filter-yoast-sitemaps-compatibility/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[YARPP - Yet Another Related Posts Plugin] Multiple image sizes (responsive images) for YARPP thumbnails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-sizes-responsive-images-for-yarpp-thumbnails/) * Thread Starter [jbd7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbd7/) * (@jbd7) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-sizes-responsive-images-for-yarpp-thumbnails/#post-16548388) * So it seems I figured it out 😉 And it can be done without touching YARPP. Here’s my solution in case it helps someone: - How to add the `srcset` attribute: * This is done automatically by WordPress, as long as it finds an image with the same size ratio. So I duplicated the size creation code in my theme `functions. php` with a larger thumbnail version. `add_image_size('yarpp-thumbnail', 309, 178, true);add_image_size('yarpp-thumbnail_2x', 618, 356, true);And I regenerated thumbnails for all featured images, so that the JPGs for the new sizes are created. - How to add the `sizes` attribute: * This is also done automatically by WordPress ([https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/11/10/responsive-images-in-wordpress-4-4/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/11/10/responsive-images-in-wordpress-4-4/)), but not in the way that worked for me. I needed the small image to show on large screens, and the large one to show on small screens. So I added this in my theme` functions.php` `add_filter('wp_calculate_image_sizes', 'custom_yarpp_sizes', 10 , 2);function custom_yarpp_sizes($sizes, $size) {if (309 == $size[0]) {/* Intercepts width, and if it the YARPP width, replaces with my theme CSS breakpoints and custom sizes attribute */return "(min-width: 600px) 309px, 618px";}return $sizes;}That seems to work for me because the size of 309px is only used by YARPP.
