 * I just survived a client’s website crash that lasted hours. Turns out the issue
   was Simple History: “Simple History plugin is trying to add a considerable number
   of database entries before, which caused the too many connection error with the
   database”.
 * I know you have to make money from the efforts taken to make this and keep it
   working. However, I have a humble request for the free version: As you have a
   limit in days for log removal, please add a limit to the number of logs it saves
   before removal too.
 * Thank you

 * Sorry to hear about this! The plugin does log all login attempts so my guess 
   is that you had a very large number of login attempts? That is the only thing
   that is logged for non-logged in users. I will add this to my todo list, to add
   functionality that prevents issues like this from happening.

 * Hi Pär!
   Thank you for your empathy. That’s exactly what happened. The login attempts
   have always been crazy – its one of the reasons I installed your plugin, to keep
   track and block whatever username is being tried consistently.Thank you for your
   consideration.
 * Stay blessed!
