Tables list

    Hi,

    I noticed today (because one of my security plugins flagged it) that there was a new folder in the uploads folder (wp-content/uploads/) of each of my sites running WP-Optimize called wpo-plugins-tables-list.json, which appears to contain a lengthy list of tables used by various plugins.

    I need to ask:

    1. Is this a legitimate WP-Optimize file?
    2. If so, why is it in the root uploads folder rather than wp-content/uploads/ (which I assume is also added by WP-Optimize)? (I try to reserve the root uploads folder for Media Library uploaded files.)

    Let me know. Thanks!

    wpo-plugins-tables-list.json contains is a general and anonymous list of plugins and their associated database tables.

    This list is used to compare with your database in order to determine which tables are used by which plugins.

    It’s safe to have the file inside wp-content/uploads folder.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Is that file identical for all WP-Optimize installations? (Looking at it for two different sites, it appeared to be, and the file size was identical.)

    Is there a reason it’s not in the WPO folder? Strictly from a practical standpoint, having it in the main (root) uploads folders with all my image files is not great because it complicates management of other files in that folder.

    Ack, I’d forgotten all about that.
