I've also tried making countless changes to the code using ChatGPT (searches restricted to registered users, other changes to the .htaccess file) but without resolving anything.

[I can confirm this major issue; it's probably due to AI bots, that in the last year are incredible increasing.]

I can confirm this major issue; it's probably due to AI bots, that in the last year are incredible increasing.

Although I've installed the Theme Cache (theme_cache) plugin: v1.1 and restricted the display of full-size photos to registered users only, I'm still getting the following errors:
Fri, 06 Nov 26 22:23:45 +0100 – Unable to connect to database: 1226: User 'XYZ' has exceeded the 'max_user_connections' resource (current value: 9)

This is becoming a huge problem because it brings the whole site to a standstill. I've actually had to buy a second database just for the three Coppermine galleries I have on the site, but I remain convinced that there's some sort of vulnerability through which attackers or bots are managing to run queries even without being logged in.
Otherwise, there's no explanation for the problem – the album views are all cached?!?

Probably easiest to modify this plugin

I have added [centre] to the plugin, see attached below. I have not tested it as I am currently away from home. Let me know if it does what you want.

Hi, I want to be able to enable the centering of the text in the description field of a gallery upload, but the tag does not seem to work.

Is there any way of enabling this..? There seem to be quite a few BBcode tags that work in my forum (SMF) but not in Coppermine.
