        Anyone have any idea what is causing DIVI to create temp files – literally in two weeks time I have well over 4000+ files that have caused my site to go down. Thanks.
        Now I get a 500 server error to try to access DIVI thru templates inside admin area of website.

          You’ve either got some persmission errors, or it’s not Divi. What are the files being created?

            Are you with SiteGround? Could be a hosting issue.

              Divi doesn’t create that. So check Plugins, cache and other hosting issues.

                Nope verified the file names are ‘et.filename.tmp’ just example that is DIVI.

                  Try checking the /wp-content/et-cache/ folder. There were some versions of Divi that did not keep that cache area clear.

                    I have been getting these too. Would love to know how to stop them. It’s causing inode issues on the server.

                      How do you know it’s Divi temp files? (Not saying they aren’t!) How did you find out about this?

                        my hosting sees all the files and everyone starts off with ‘et’

                          It’s a known issue and Elegant Themes are working on it.

                              @lynne I did receive an email informing me. My hosting sent an email letting me know that my site is better since I did the cache thing. What a pain. 😃

                              And once again. Not even 24 hours I’m at my limit …. thanks DIVI… again. This is not cool.

                                Turn off the performance options or downgrade to divi 4.9 and the issues resolve.

                                  @anita, I don’t know if this will help, but maybe clearing all caches might make a difference?

                                  1. If you use a caching plugin, clear its cache.
                                  2, Go to Divi > Theme Options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear.
                                  3. Delete the entire folder /wp-content/et-cache (Divi will regenerate it).
                                  4. If your host supports server-level caching, clear its cache.
                                  5. Clear your browser’s cache.

                                  It probably won’t help, but it’s worth a try.

                                  If it recurs, please find the range of times when the offending files were created, and see if you can spot any sort of correlation with whatever plugins you use. Also, in which directories are the files— are they within /wp-content/et/cache?
                                  I can’t promise anything, sorry, but it might help with diagnosis.
