 * I am not techy (I am a retired lawyer). I activated your plugin yesterday and
   like it very much. But today CPanel is showing excessive usage on CPU and Account
   executions. My host says it is caused by:
    29 /wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron 27 /
   wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wp_1_wc_regenerate_images&nonce=b2cfb29af8 1 /
   wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads 1 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wp_1_wc_privacy_cleanup&
   nonce=84bc474092 1 /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=as_async_request_queue_runner&
   nonce=e051beb5bc 1 /product-category/other-vehicles-and-machinery/early-buses-
   and-trams-1863-1919 1 /product-category/early-motor-cars/veteran-motor-cars/ 
   Is it possible any of these – esp. admin-ajax.php – is associated with Allow 
   HTML in Category Descriptions? Just checking? Thank you.

 * Hi, Iain
 * I don’t think it’s likely that the plugin is causing this kind of behavior, but
   there’s a couple of things I can check to confirm. The plugin just prevents WordPress
   from stripping HTML from the category descriptions on saving, so once you’ve 
   updated your descriptions you could disable the plugin again, and the descriptions
   would still work until you edit them again.
 * From the debugging code you’ve posted, it seems like the problem is somewhere
   in your admin panels, but it could be something that was pasted into your descriptions
   that could cause this.
 * Could you post the code you pasted into the “Veteran Motor Cars” category description
   here, and I can try and see if there’s anything strange there?
 * The main culprit seems to be a scheduled task that is regenerating images. Do
   you have a scheduler plugin installed, or a gallery generation plugin?
 * Chat soon

 * Hi, Iain
 * I found this post from a couple of years ago, complaining about woo commerce 
   causing problems on some hosts when images get resized. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-cpu-usage-when-swtiching-theme/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-cpu-usage-when-swtiching-theme/)
 * Have you uploaded a large number of images recently? And do you use woocommerce?
   You may need to upgrade to the latest version and see if that improves the situation,
   too, in addition to the previous suggestions.
 * Thanks
    Arno

 * I haven’t heard back from you around this yet, but feel free to reopen the issue
   if it isn’t resolved yet.
