Title: Option_Value Error for Uninstall_Plugins Last modified: March 22, 2019 --- # Option_Value Error for Uninstall_Plugins * Resolved [HKP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hiskingdomprophecy/) * (@hiskingdomprophecy) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/option_value-error-for-uninstall_plugins/) * I really need help! I get a WordPress database error each time someone clicks on a website link. I have repaired the DB tables, restarted the server, reinstalled WP5, turned off all plugins, but I cannot clear the error. I don’t know what else to do, though the site is still working. The error message is 1.15M characters long so I only give the start and end here: * ” WordPress database error: [Got a packet bigger than ‘max_allowed_packet’ bytes] UPDATE `wp-options` SET `option_value` = ‘a:5238:{i:0;b:0;s:41:\”better-wp-security/ better-wp-security.php\”;a:2:{i:0;s:10:\”ITSEC_Core\”;i:1;s:16:\”handle_uninstall\”;} s:13:\”uninstall.php\”;s:0:\”\”;s:11:\”counter.php\”;s:23:\”count_per_day_uninstall\”; s:51:\”virtual-robotstxt-littlebizzy/virtual-robotstxt.php\”;a:2:{i:0;s:20:\” VRTRBT_Admin_Notices\”;i:1;s:9:\”uninstall\”;}s:27:\”wp-optimize/wp-optimize. php\”;s:21:\”wpo_uninstall_actions\”;s:43:\”server-status-littlebizzy/server- status.php\”;a:2:{i:0;s:20:\”SVRSTS_Admin_Notices\”;i:1;s:9:\”uninstall\”;}s: 33:\”classic-editor/classic-editor.php\”;a:2:………. …. 1.15M character delete here…….……“ Cache_Enabler\”;i:1;s:12:\”on_uninstall\”;}}’ WHERE `option_name` = ‘uninstall_plugins’” END Message * Any suggests are gratefully received.

You need to address that. There are ways to increase the packet size if you google that error, but the question is why is a query so large? * Do you have a plugin or theme that might indicate the creator of this entry? Does `q8moptions` ring any bells? Anything `q8m` related? * Thread Starter [HKP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hiskingdomprophecy/) * (@hiskingdomprophecy) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/option_value-error-for-uninstall_plugins/#post-11343744) * @sterndat Thanks Steven * q8moptions = wp-options. I think the query is large because of an error. Something went wrong yesterday as all has been working fine till last night. In the redacted message it refers to deleted plugins and plugins which are turned off all the time. I recently set the memory at 512Mb but it is still working at 256. Honestly I don’t think changing that will solve it…… even 512 may not be enough with the error. At the moment I have no idea where to look for a fix. * FYI, I also get this error – and have for a while: “[Fri Mar 22 19:54:34.397048 2019] [php7:warn] [pid 15762] [client 46.229.168.148:64978] PHP Warning: Error while sending QUERY packet. PID=15762 in /home/xxxx/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2007” * I don’t think it is related to this main one… as the main one is new. * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/option_value-error-for-uninstall_plugins/#post-11343757) * This has nothing to do with PHP memory. Again, what plugin (or theme) might be related to “q8”? * Thread Starter [HKP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hiskingdomprophecy/) * (@hiskingdomprophecy) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/option_value-error-for-uninstall_plugins/#post-11343780) * I changed the name of the standard options table from ‘wp-options’ to ‘8qmoptions’ years ago. It is a db change, not plugin related. - This reply was modified 7 years, 2 months ago by [HKP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hiskingdomprophecy/). * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/option_value-error-for-uninstall_plugins/#post-11343826) * Hmmm… how many plugins do you have installed? * Try deleting that row from your options table. * Thread Starter [HKP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hiskingdomprophecy/) * (@hiskingdomprophecy) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/option_value-error-for-uninstall_plugins/#post-11343864) * I have tried removing all the plugins but no difference.

The site is still running and the messages have stopped. I guess WP5 will now remake and repopulate that table sometime soon. Now I just have to figure out where the “wp-db.php on line 2007” error comes from. Your help is greatly appreciated!
