It also fixes symptoms I observed with SimplePie giving out of memory errors. * I don’t know if 2.0.40 was where this started or whether WordPress 3.8 + 2.0.40 was what finally pushed things over the edge with all this junk inserted earlier in the 2.0.* release. However, will stay with 1.9.13 for now and mark this as resolved. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] Has NextGen Gallery memory usage increased in 2.0.40?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-nextgen-gallery-memory-usage-increased-in-2040/) * Thread Starter [mev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mev/) * (@mev) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-nextgen-gallery-memory-usage-increased-in-2040/#post-4426786) * For what it is worth, changing over SimplePie caused the memory leak to reappear for fetching the WordPress News. However, I need to see if this still occurs if I have a sane sized wp_options table. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] Has NextGen Gallery memory usage increased in 2.0.40?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-nextgen-gallery-memory-usage-increased-in-2040/) * Thread Starter [mev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mev/) * (@mev) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-nextgen-gallery-memory-usage-increased-in-2040/#post-4426785) * I am still copying over the web site to separate test domain. * However, in process of copying the database one thing very quickly jumps out: – The text size of my “wp_options” table is 22MB of characters and has autoincremented to 3523730 entries. It is almost entirely filled with entries with the following types of names * * displayed_gallery_rendering_ * _transient_timeout_ * displayed_galleries_ * _transient_ * In fast there are so many of these names that the table will not import in phpmyadmin( at least in one try). * So this leads me to a few questions: 1. What is the purpose of those entries? 2. Do I need all these entries for proper functioning of NextGen Gallery – or can I delete them all before bring in the table? 3. Is there an “options leak” where NextGen gallery is creating space in a MySQL table and never cleaning up? * The hypothesis I am going on now is that NextGen has had some versions that “ leaked” all these entries which polluted my wp_options table and consumed a huge amount of memory. I don’t know if this is still in the NextGen code but having a few photos and albums and a web site with a few hits meant this accumulated to point where the trash is polluting the web site. Any thoughts on this or more information? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] Has NextGen Gallery memory usage increased in 2.0.40?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-nextgen-gallery-memory-usage-increased-in-2040/) * Thread Starter [mev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mev/) * (@mev) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-nextgen-gallery-memory-usage-increased-in-2040/#post-4426745) * One more follow up. There may be some caching going on in the dashboard widget, since when I moved the “class-simplepie.php” class that loads the news, I didn’t actually get a “No such file or directory” error message. So I think the dashboard is showing me older cached out of memory errors rather than changing depending on whether I install NextGen Gallery or not. * Will wait overnight and see if cache expires as some point here. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] Has NextGen Gallery memory usage increased in 2.0.40?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-nextgen-gallery-memory-usage-increased-in-2040/) * Thread Starter [mev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mev/) * (@mev) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-nextgen-gallery-memory-usage-increased-in-2040/#post-4426707) * Here is the mixed data I have been able to measure so far: * 1. phpinfo() – tells me I have a total of 90M of memory available. * 2. I also added “define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’90M’);” to my wp-config.php file so wordpress and phpinfo() are both consistent on the amount of memory used. * 3. I used the WP-Memory-Usage to tell me the amount of memory used in my Dashboard. This tells me the following values: – With NextGen Gallery disabled = 34.57 MB or 38% – With NextGen Gallery 1.19.13 = 36.37 MB or 40% – With NextGen Gallery 2.0.40 = 40.95 MB or 46% so this definitely tells me 2.0.40 is using more memory though none of these amounts should be close to my limits. For example, it seems to suggest that NextGen Gallery 2.0.40 is using triple the memory of 1.9.13. * 4. My blog is not particularly large, but following are the counts: – 192 posts– 85 comments – 38 pages – 766 images – 13 galleries – 2 albums Until I emptied my spam folder, I did have 8861 spam comments though emptying that folder didn’t seem to change things. * 5. Potentially un-related but I also have one other memory related message show up on the dashboard. While displaying WordPress News, it gives * Warning: xml_parse() [function.xml-parse]: Memory allocation failed : growing buffer in …/wp-includes/SimplePie/Parser.php on line 154 * This appears regardless of which configuration of NextGen gallery I use. * 6. At this point reverting back to 1.9.13 addresses at least the symptoms so I’m going to keep my main site running that. I prefer not to give out credentials to this site or have it be a further testbed but if I get some time next weekend I’ll see if I can backup and create a copy that could be examined for testing. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] Album shortcodes still broken in 2.0.17](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/album-shortcodes-still-broken-in-2017/) * Thread Starter [mev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mev/) * (@mev) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/album-shortcodes-still-broken-in-2017/#post-4093786) * Switching themes from my theme (Weaver II) to something else also doesn’t change the behavior. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] Album shortcodes still broken in 2.0.17](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/album-shortcodes-still-broken-in-2017/) * Thread Starter [mev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mev/) * (@mev) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/album-shortcodes-still-broken-in-2017/#post-4093784) * I have looked at list of conflicting plugins and stopped W3 total cache.
