    Hi,

    Sorry, I posted this in the wrong forum – I meant to post this in WP-Optimize. Here is the link to the correct post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-do-i-clean-up-the-wp_postmeta-table-and-wp_posts-table-2/

    I see posts where people are saying that they have used WP-Optimize to clean up the wp_postmeta and wp_posts database table. How exactly does this work? I have been searching around and cannot figure out how to use WP-Optimize to reduce the size of the wp_postmeta table.

    I am currently working on a website (made with Elementor) whose wp_postmeta table is currently 893.05 MB and the wp_posts table is 354.44 MB. Not getting into the fact that Elementor somehow creates massive bloat in these tables – how can we reduce the size of these tables before we are penalized by our hosting company?

    Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you.
