Do not use this plugin, it has very bad database structure

  • Hello community,

    This plugin is having very bad structure of storing values into the database.

    This plugin stores values into wp_postmeta table in the form of serialize data. So if in the future, you want to change domain name or want to move website on different domain name, You have to first deserialise data as per your new domain. Then it will work.

    But if you have more than 4k pics and more than 100 gallery, you have to 100 times deserilise data and update in the database for your new domain. In short, it increases work load and consume lots of time for just serializing and deserializing database.

    This is highly disappointing that such a well written plugin is using such a baby database structure.

    I will highly recommend not to use use this plugin, specially in high volume gallery website.

    Sorry Mr. Suresh Ji, our plugin did’t working for you.

    But we have some points to be consider:

    1. There no need to deserialize data if you migrated site. Our several plugin users did this, you check previous support thread, this is only 1 click process only.

    2. You are talking about 4K pics, During in two year of gallery & slider plugin development there is rare chance user use High Resolution image. If they use high-resolution images they know these type of images has larger in size and take times to load on page. And in our plugin user are free to use any type of images. If we force them only use some kind of resolution images then it will be totally wrong.

    2. Regarding plugin increasing workload, You can check the plugin performance with other query monitor plugins available on WordPress.

    Hope you get all answers.

    Thanks
