    Good day, 8Theme Team

    Please see email below for your reference and assistance.

    In addition, see Jessica and Renee comments from Xneelo: Please note that this issue is separate from the shopping cart issue discussed, however, it is crucial this is resolved. The developers troubleshooting the shopping cart issue were unable to troubleshoot successfully due to the database connection error. Customers will also struggle to make purchases when the limit is reached.

    Dear Chad,

    Thank you for your email.

    I created a new database called homeaekgbw_db_658 (sql53.jnb1.host-h.net) and made a copy of the current database. I was able to convert the tables to MyISAM and do the repair and optimize, however, there were two tables that could not be converted due to the following error:

    #1071 – Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes

    MyISAM unfortunately does not support key lengths larger than 1000 bytes. Below are the details of the two tables on how they were created:

    pt_wc_orders_meta:
    CREATE TABLE pt_wc_orders_meta (
    id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    order_id bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
    meta_key varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
    meta_value text DEFAULT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (id),
    KEY meta_key_value (meta_key,meta_value(100)),
    KEY order_id_meta_key_meta_value (order_id,meta_key,meta_value(100))
    ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci

    pt_wc_orders
    CREATE TABLE pt_wc_orders (
    id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
    status varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
    currency varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
    type varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
    tax_amount decimal(26,8) DEFAULT NULL,
    total_amount decimal(26,8) DEFAULT NULL,
    customer_id bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
    billing_email varchar(320) DEFAULT NULL,
    date_created_gmt datetime DEFAULT NULL,
    date_updated_gmt datetime DEFAULT NULL,
    parent_order_id bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
    payment_method varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
    payment_method_title text DEFAULT NULL,
    transaction_id varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
    ip_address varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
    user_agent text DEFAULT NULL,
    customer_note text DEFAULT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (id),
    KEY status (status),
    KEY date_created (date_created_gmt),
    KEY customer_id_billing_email (customer_id,billing_email),
    KEY billing_email (billing_email),
    KEY type_status (type,status),
    KEY parent_order_id (parent_order_id),
    KEY date_updated (date_updated_gmt)
    ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci

    The above two tables would need to be investigated to see if they are needed.

    The rest of the tables have gone through the repair and optimize and all completed with no issue and I have converted it back to the InnoDB engine.
