I can see the query running on my server but I have removed the widget everywhere that I can find. Yet it's still running

 /*IPS\downloads\widgets\_topDownloads::render:99*/ SELECT dfid, count(*) AS downloads FROM `downloads_downloads`  LEFT JOIN `downloads_files` ON dfi                   d=file_id WHERE file_cat IN(2,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21) AND dtime>? GROUP BY `dfid` ORDER BY downloads DESC LIMIT 3 

This query always runs slowly and I need it to stop running.

• Any way to find where this mystery widget is running so I can get rid of it?
• OR....
• Any way in the ACP to simply turn this off regardless of where it is running?

Any help appreciated

Thank you

Check your cms_page_widget_areas and core_widget_areas database tables, which should give you a hint where it's being used.

Yeah that widget is not in those tables. No idea why that query is running on my server.  😞

We don't have downloads, but could it be a task that runs on a schedule?

Nah, it's a widget ( IPS\downloads\widgets\_topDownloads ) but I have already helped him to locate it.
It's hopefully resolved now.

OK... short long story if anybody else runs into this...
If you don't have the Pages App:

1. check your core_widget_areas database table

IF you're using IP.Pages:

1. check your core_widget_areas database table
2. check your cms_page_widget_database areas
3. check your blocks ( ACP => Pages => Blocks ) and the cms_blocks database table.
