Hi, JetPack backup has been failing with HTTP 5XX Server Error 1 files affectedMore wp_post_views JetPack support thinks it is coming from Post Views Counter. Any feedback would be appreciated. The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link] Hi, This table is coming from Post Views Counter. But why it results in an issue? Why Jetpack tries to copy a PVC table? We’d recommend asking JetPack devs about it. Hi, thank you for your response. This table is causing 1) the site to stop loading with a critical error, and 2) JetPack backup to fail. If I remove number_format( pvc_get_post_views( get_the_ID() ) ); from all the places I used, the site loads. If I ask the host to repair this table, it seems the loading issue gets fixed (but the problem returns in a day or two). According to JetPack support, wp_post_views has around 3.5 million rows, which suggests something is wrong. Any feedback would be appreciated. This reply was modified 9 months, 1 week ago by madflute . Hi, You can try to do the daily views data cleanup to limit number of records in the database by setting the Cleanup Interval option to 1 day. But 3.5 million rows is not much really – these are really tiny records. We’ve seen databases with millions of heavy post records operating without any issues and dozens of millions of wp_post_views records working smoothly, generating reports etc. The issue with backing up a table would happen if the backup mechanism tries to do this in one shot – it might require too many resources to be able to process it.
