Hi,
I am unsure whether this has been mentioned before in a thread so I apologise in advance if this is the case, I was not able to find the thread or a solution to the issue I am having.
On our VPS we have multiple Wordpress websites for which we use Smart Updates (around 20).
However, we see a - seemingly random - increase in disk size for some of the websites. I say random because sometimes it happens to one website and we manually fix it, after which the issue occurs to a different website - in no specific order.
The issue I am talking about is that there are multiple instances being created of the .wp-toolkit directory, and these directory names all end with a different name, see below:
and also
As mentioned, this severely increases the disk space of these websites on the VPS and the only way to solve it seems to be manually removing these directories, but then after some time (either days or weeks), new instances appear and we have to delete them manually again. And also, if we remove the directories for 1 website, it often happens that a different website starts dealing with the same issue, so it's not consistent.
For these websites we have plugin licenses such as Gravity Forms where it literally says we have over 30 "active" websites on 1 license, even though it's only 1 website using it, but this is due to the additional wp-toolkit directories.
Perhaps this is an issue that someone has had before? Below you find the general setup we use for Smart Update in Plesk.
Note: for some websites we only allow for minor updates to Wordpress or have defined plugin updates individually. But we have not found a specific setup that consistently causes these issues to occur.
Hope someone has a clue on how to fix this. If anything is unclear or I have forgotten to include important information, please let me know!
