Out of control inodes in the cache folder

[bowerstech]

Hello,

I found out our ISP was no longer backing up our site because the amount of inodes exceeded 100,000. I discovered that the problem was PDF stamper creating massive numbers of files in the /wp-content/plugins/wp-pdf-stamper/lib/cache folder.

I am running version 3.3 of PDF Stamper. A few questions:

1) How do I stop this from happening??

2) Can I simply delete the thousands of files from the cache folder or do I need to do something special to remove all of them?

Thanks so much. I appreciate a quick response so I can get the site backed up again.

Thanks,

Bryan

Yes, you can simply delete the cache files (as the name suggest… it is simply used for caching the files so future stamps of the same file can be less resource intensive).

You can delete the cache files from the “Manage Stamped Files” menu by clicking the “Delete All Cache Files” button.

We have also turned off caching by default in our recent versions of the PDF stamper plugin (it wasn’t providing the performance improvement we hoped). You can get a new build of the plugin from here:
