Safely clearing out old Yoast postmeta table entries
-
I’ve been using Yoast for many, many years (thank you!).
I’m trying to clear some of the now-unused rows out of wp_postmeta and, for the oldest posts, I’m finding rows named things like:
_yoast_wpseo_title
_yoast_wpseo_metadesc
_yoast_wpseo_content_score
_yoast_wpseo_primary_category
_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-adv
_yoast_wpseo_sitemap-html-include
_yoast_wpseo_redirect
_yoast_wpseo_newssitemap-include
_yoast_wpseo_newssitemap-genreThe most recent entries only seem to have rows like:
_yoast_wpseo_newssitemap-genre
_yoast_wpseo_newssitemap-exclude
_yoast_wpseo_primary_category
_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes
_yoast_wpseo_content_scoreHey, I understand that needs and the way of tackling problems changes over the years, so it’s all understandable that they’re there. The only thing is that not only are there quite a few entries but some of them are taking up quite a bit of storage too.
Could you please let me have a list of previously used Yoast meta_key entries that it would be safe for me to delete, so I can tidy up the postmeta table safely.
Thanks in advance.
