After creating a DB backup, I used clean options plugin to delete unused wordpress options. The plugin cleaned the newspaper settings from the DB. I’ve restored the database but the theme is not loading settings from the restored DB. My customizations are also not being restored. What table does the theme saves settings in?
Need urgent help
fixed the problem. The plugin su**ks…
I’ve found that stuff like wp-optimize works better for simple “optimization” — but any REAL edits to dbase should be done via phpmyadmin on server, and learn to delete ONLY the table rows in the dbase that are causing bloat, such as from a former hit counter, or some funky old plugin polluting the database. Luckily lots of tutorials online for this, just a pain in the butt to “focus” on scannning through tables.
I did this recently for one of our 11 year old sites, where the dbase was just freaking huge, and there were some old things in there that the “bad plugins” didn’t gracefully remove on exit, or have option to scrub prior to deactivation.
Just a comment, since I was lurking here a little while 🙂
Yes, you’re right man!
I used clean options plugin because a popular blog claimed that the plugin removes orphan db tables. I will not follow tutorials on that blog anymore.
