Delete contents of public_html/wp-content/uploads/dynamic_avia

I have the same issue … Also stopped CSS file merging and compression & Javascript file merging and compression

But offcourse that gives perfomance issues so please tell me what I can do …

I have HUGE problems with this also….also .nl domainname. My dynamic_avia folder is 121GB BIG!! I use caching plugins so I ‘listen’ to your advise and not delete old files. It says ‘ONLY recommended when you’re NOT using a caching plugin!

Now nothing is working anymore. Also deleting old files via Performances isn’t working anymore. Please, which files can I delete manually??

Many thanks and warm regards,

Alice

Hi Leemshop and flanke7: Thanks for the comments. Flanke7, I use several plugins like WP Rocket Pro (caching), Admin Columns, Yoast, etc.

I hadn’t acces to WP-admin anymore due to several errors, because the physical memory for the server was exhausted. Finally I solved the problem for my situation. Here is what I’ve done:

1. Change Enfold Settings > See screenshot.
I set CSS & Javascript merging and compression to ‘Disable’. I use WP Rocket Pro plugin for caching and in spite of the recommendation, I enabled the option ‘Delete old CSS and JS files’. (just to be sure.)
Note: When I first had enabled this, and let the default-settings for merging and compression enabled, it doesn’t work for me. Enfold still created A HUGE amount of merged files automaticly: in my case even more than 50.000 (really!) avia-merged css- and js-files in the dynamic_avia folder, up to about 120GB!!! After deleting, Enfold created these files over and over again, until all space on the server was used and I was receiving several errors and couldn’t update the website anymore.

2. Add code to functions.php – Just to be on the safe side, I added the following code to the bottom of the functions.php in my child-theme folder, as advised in another post:

function my_custom_merged_files_unique_id( $uniqid, $file_type, $data, $enqueued, $file_group_name, $conditions )
{
return 'my_stamp';
}
add_filter( 'avf_merged_files_unique_id', 'my_custom_merged_files_unique_id', 10, 6 );

This should accomplish that each created file has the same filename and overwrites the already existing one until your server returns the correct DB value that the file exists and Enfold can stop creating new files. (See another post.)

3. I deleted ALL merged files in the dynamic_avia folder. (120GB) In my case, the following files remain: (leave them there!)

• avia-gutenberg-dynamic-enfold.css
• avia-gutenberg-dynamic-globe_theme.css (my custom name)
• enfold.css
• enfold_child.css
• globe_theme.css (my custom name)
• index.php

4. After this, I updated the used Disk Space in DirectAdmin. (Click on the Disk Space-number in the right sight bar.)

5. I still couldn’t login to my WP admin. So I disabled all plugins via my ftp client. Now, I could login to WP again and I activated every single plugin.

I really don’t know if all step are necessary for everyone (probably not), but for me it worked out very well and all problems are gone.

So, my website is up & running again! My dynamic_avia folder stays clean now. :-))
