Can U delete these two entries from my database? My wp_postmeta table has grown to more than 1Gb with these two entries. I have about 10,000 posts and Im not sure if I can delete these to optimize my database table.
Hello!
I suggest you do not delete them because they are useful for your design.
Thank you!
This is a problem because my host only allows 1GB database. What can I do to optimise this table?
Hello!
Maybe you can find a plugin that can cache the database. Unfortunately, we do not have a tested plugin for our theme in order to suggest one.
Please note that page speed or optimization is not covered by the support team: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
Thank you for understanding!
Hello Bettina,
I have a cache plugin but I need a way to reduce the size of that wp_postmeta table in my database. I seem to have 80% of the data comprising these meta keys. Im not sure what it doesn’t but I created a staging site and deleted some of it and then when I checked the post based on the post_id, the post is still there as it is. Nothing changed so I was wondering if I could delete all these rows to reduce the size of this table.
Can you elaborate on how is this affecting my design, please?
Hello!
If you delete them, then they will appear again in the database if they are used on your website. Some of them shouldn’t be deleted because then the posts may not be displayed correctly as before.
Thank you!
Thank you. This means I cant do anything to reduce the size of my database?
Hello!
I just explained above what the workaround is with a plugin for optimization; maybe it will help a little.
Thank you!
