Deleting Options Data

    So, I have been in my database trying to clean it up. Over the years, I used and discarded several plugins and themes that have caused the table to grow a bit. Some are easy. But, many developers make it a bit difficult to identify who the data belongs to. So, I went hunting for an easier solution.

    What I found was the “Advanced Database Cleaner” plugin. The free version basically only allows me to do what I have been doing. However, their pro version supposedly is able to identify if the data is being used by an active plugin or theme, and if it orphaned.

    FREE

    • Display options list
    • Display options information such as option name, option value, option size, option autoload
    • Clean and delete options
    • Set options autoload to no / yes

    PAID

    • Classify options according to their “creator”. They can be either: plugins options, themes options or WP core options
    • Detect and delete orphan options.
    • Search & filter options, filter tables and filter cron tasks based on several criteria such as the “name”, “creator”, “value”, etc.

    In your support forum, there is at least one other person looking for something similar: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/delete-unused-options-data/

    Since I have used and relied on your plugin for a while now, I would rather upgrade to your paid version. Is cleaning and deleting options something you are working on?

  • @tjalexander70 This is not a feature yet, the current version only shows the tables of active/disabled plugins, it doesn’t shows the data of the plugin which it belongs to.

    Oh, I know. What I am asking is if it is in the works? And, if it is, do you have an expected time of rollout. Like I said, if I am going to upgrade to a paid version, I would prefer to do it with you, as you are already a trusted plugin with me.

    @tjalexander70 Sorry this is not in the feature list, but I’ll add this as a feature quest, so it can be considered to be added in future release
