wp_postmeta table size

Do you have any plugins that write data in there? There was a release of Ultimate Tag Warrior that had a bug that caused it to flood that table.

I’m always using the latest Ultimate Tag Warrior when it’s out. Currently i’m running on 3.14 .

Other than that, i’m using Google Sitemaps, Simple Recent Comments, Feedburner Feed Replacement, Head META Description, Code Markup and Akismet.

How do i know which one might causing the issue, if any issue?

Do you agree that 14.2MB for a table is way too much?

Regarding the UTW thing, see these two list posts from wp-hackers:

Apparently some manual cleanup had to happen.

That might makes sense since i was running the same UTW version. I’ve now updated to 3.1415. I’ll check my table. Thank you.

It seems i was hit by that bug. Need to figure out how to delete those hundreds if not thousands of extra UTW lines.

The solution is:

– Backup your site and your database
– Update to the latest UTW version, currently 3.1415
– Manage > Tag > Tidy Tags

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.

Mark this one as “Resolved” up top?

I missed that. Thanks HandySolo ??
