I’m currently using WP Cerber on my site with HyperDB (https://github.com/Automattic/HyperDB), which allows me to have a single writer database and multiple reader database.
WP Cerber is capturing traffic just fine, but seems to occassionally try to write to my reader database, which has since caused other issues. WP Cerber seems to generating DB Errors which - in turn - are being stored in the wp_options table. Over time this field has filled up considerably and is now causing backups to fail because this field is so very large.
So my questions:
-
Is there a way to specify a specific database / connection for WP Cerber to use, since it doesn’t seem to be respecting the database choice from HyperDB. I would like to prevent these database errors from happening if at all possible.
-
What is the recommended approach for clearing out the “_cerber_db_errors” entry in wp_options, so I can at least get my backups back in working order. As far as I can tell, there are clearing options for most everything else in WP Cerber except the DB errors option, when you go to the Diagnostics tab.
I am currently on WP Cerber 9.2 on WordPress 6.2.2
