DB optimization stuck in a loop

[shon-everbridge]

Hi Team,

I've deployed version 4.1.1 on our production site. However, the optimize data process seems to be running in an infinite loop.
It has been stuck at 2%. When I try to pause the process, it pauses momentarily, shows the percentage at 43%, then unpauses and reverts back to 2%.

This has been occuring for approximately two hours now. How can I stop the process? How should I proceed to fix this?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Repeatedly pressing pause and resume seems to have allowed the process to "finish". But, the alerts are still there. Is there any way to ascertain if the optimization process completed successfully? Also, should the alerts remain indefinitely?

Hello @shon-everbridge ,

It seems like a caching issue. Could you please clear the CSS/JS or object cache on your site and also your browser cache and check again?

If this does not help please copy the info from Media / Stateless Setting / Status and post it here?

Thanks!

Hi @balexey88 ,

I've invalidated the site cache in google search console. I've cleared my browser cache locally, and I am still seeing the following alerts. I'll post the requested status info in a separate comment. Thanks for the help with this, by the way^^

Hello @shon-everbridge,

Thank you for the provided info!

I can see that the messages changed, though they still persist. Previously there were 3 messages related to Data Optimization, now there is one related to Data Optimization and one related to the Media Library Sync. Also Status report shows that Data Optimization finished successfully, but the progress message is still there.

These messages rely on WP Transients, which are stored in WP Database by default, but can also be stored in the external caching service like Redis, Memcached, OPCache, etc. Do you use one any kind of object caching? If so, try to clear the Object Cache, this should help.

Please let if this helps.
