Where does Flamingo store the data input

wp_posts and wp_postmeta.

Thank you @takayukister ! Embarassing that I couldn’t figure that out my self…

@takayukister:

I supposed post_author in wp_posts was the id of a user but sometimes its value is 0: why?

ummm
yep ummm
What a freaking mess hahaha

got 10k entries froom tinfoil security site spammed the contact form due to xss injection vulnerability.

Nice NOT!!!

Would be so much nicer if this stored to its own sql table-row etc. Instead of posts and posts meta now i have to manually remove 10k entries from both.

Good thing i keep backup sql and will just roll back to yesterday
Imagine deleting 10k entries via php admin 500 at a time via pagination meanwhile not deleting real post etc.

then repeat in the post meta but times 6 for i have rows for qtranslate etc. for each comment submission what a freaking mess

alternatively what go through wp-admin dashboard and delete them 10 at a time as it only shows a handful of rows for flamingo which i can select and delete which wopuld remove them from both posts and posts meta at the same time be nice to select pagination to all ?? that would be a quick workaround to having to sort through 10k records

great Takayuki Miyoshi

Well, the bad thing is, that if you delete the incoming mail via wp-admin dashboard, the wp_posts and wp_meta are not deleted, only marked as deleted. So the data remains in the table “for ever” (unless you delete it manually via MySQL).

It would be really nice, if this plugin can really delete the posts after some given expiration time (see GDPR problem in Europe). Using separate table for incoming posts would be nice too. But deleting the posts is really big problem.

P.S. I have seen some other plugin called “Favorite Inazo’s flamingo automatically delete old messages”, but I would prefere to have just one plugin doing the thing.
