Tons of _oembed_ meta keys ?

  • Hi there

    Thanks for your plugin, it works quite fine.

    I have some trouble in configuration pane : for each custom post type, there is a lot -tons!- of meta keys suffixed by _oembed_ …

    I don’t know from where it comes, if its an anomaly due to another plugins or whatever … it makes the configuration page hard to use (slow, huge scrolling, can make crash some browser extension based on input…)

    First, I wan’t to know if it’s some data that I can cleanup somewhere to avoid this problem … without breaking things ^^ ?

    Some suggestion in all cases :
    – Make each custom post type sub configuration a collapsed by default panel.
    – Give the possibility to hide some meta key (and show back hidden meta)

    Thanks for answer(s) !

    Hi @kaon68,

    _oembed keys are created when WordPress caches the response from an Embed, for example using the [embed] shortcode or otherwise embedding something like a YouTube video.

    These keys are stored as postmeta, so they show up on our plugin’s list of meta options. If you use a very large number of embeds on your site you will see many similar entries.

    I appreciate the suggestion about filtering/minimizing meta values. We will look into adding this functionality.

    Thanks,
    Jon
