# Plugin / database overload? Blank page…

 * Hi there,
 * first of all: GREAT plugin! Clean, lean & nice UI.
 * Right now it seems the plugin has ‘hit the wall’ with our system – we have got
   a lot of traffic & user activity going on (probably even hit a million entries)
   and I maybe that resulted in a database-overload?
 * I tried making use of the filter “simple_history_db_purge_days_interval” in order
   to reduce the load but it didn’t have any effect – neither with the code below
   I put into functions.php (is it correct?) nor with the hard-coded value ($days
   = 15;) within the plugin’s index.php.
 *     ```
       /*——————————————————————————————————————————————–*/
       /* Change Simple History Plugin's Purge Interval */
       /*——————————————————————————————————————————————–*/
   
       add_action('simple_history_db_purge_days_interval', function($days) {
           return 15;
       });
       ```
   
 * At least there is the same value (60) showing in the admin panel where it says“
   will delete automatically after X days”. It would update / show the changes here,
   right?
 * Anyways, the screen stays blank when I visit the protocol page / want to see 
   the log. Looks like a timeout judging from firebug but I am not sure.
 * It even stays blank after resetting/emptying the database.
 * Looking forward to some guidance here…
    Thanks & regards,
 * Henning

 * FYI: Deleting & re-installing worked. But since this could easily happen again
   I am wondering about how to best cap the number of database-entries.
 * The interval-changes do not reflect within the admin panel – couldn’t you grab
   the value dynamically?
