WordPress performance problems trash posts and unattached media
I have a large woocommerce store with over 500k products. The performance issue is that the trash posts and unattached images are not being deleted and taking up space. I set define( 'EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS', 1 ); and also tried define( 'EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS', 0 ); . I have tried various optimize database and delete trash plugins but they all time out due to the fact that there are over 280k trashed posts ( woocommerce products ) and 280k unattached media or images for these posts.
Is there a way to clear these? A plugin to use.
I found - but don't know to implement:
DELETE p
FROM wp_posts p
LEFT OUTER JOIN wp_postmeta pm ON (p.ID = pm.post_id)
WHERE post_status = 'trash'
Hi Daniel,
If you install SQL Executioner it will let you run the SQL code.
This will let you clear out your site.
We reccomend backing up first – Updraft Plus are who we use for this.
Thank you for your custom, we appreciate it.
Kind regards
John
