Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about DBStorage Insights

Yes -- they are deleted via WordPress's own wp_delete_post_revision(), which fires all the usual hooks. Your published posts are untouched; only the revision history is removed.

Almost always, yes -- the plugin will simply load the option on demand the next time it needs it, with one extra database query. Options used by WordPress core on every request are flagged with a core badge and gated behind an extra confirmation. As a rule of thumb: large autoloaded options from caching/SEO/analytics plugins are safe to disable; tiny WordPress core options should be left alone.

The cleanup actions remove things that are already in the "delete me" state: Orphaned postmeta / termmeta -- metadata whose parent post or term no longer exists. By definition, nothing references it. Spam / trashed comments -- comments already marked as spam or trash. Trashed posts -- posts already in the trash. Auto-drafts -- empty rows WordPress creates every time you click "Add New" and never finish. None of this is recoverable from the trash because it's already past that stage. Take a database backup first if you're nervous -- that's good practice for any cleanup tool.

The admin page works on each site individually. Transient figures cover the current site's wp_options; network-wide transients in wp_sitemeta are not yet included.

No. Zero external requests. Everything stays on your server.

Database content sizes are measured with LENGTH() of text columns -- the actual stored byte count. On-disk database size comes from SHOW TABLE STATUS. Disk size for plugins/themes/uploads is a real recursive filesize() walk. Row counts for InnoDB tables are reported as approximate by MySQL itself, so the Database & Cleanup tab notes this.

No. The plugin doesn't run on the front end at all. Disk scans (plugins, themes, uploads, wp-content) are cached for 10 minutes. Database queries are issued only when you actually open the admin page. I activated the plugin but the History tab is empty. The first automatic snapshot runs within 24 hours of activation. You can also click Take snapshot now on the History tab to record one immediately.

Deactivate the plugin from Plugins. The scheduled snapshot is unhooked automatically. The history table ({prefix}dbsi_history) is left in place so your snapshot data survives re-activation -- drop it manually if you want it gone.
