My website bigger than 15 minutes to write, I do not know why, can you help me?
I am really sorry, but I have no idea what you mean by this. Can you explain problem better.
Hi Milan!
Again, this plugin is absolutely awesome! 
My question is that: Could you implement a setting to disable the deletion of regular “Draft Post Records” so that this tool not appears on the list of available tools?—I do not mean the “Auto Draft” stuff, that is fully ok, I mean the regular Drafts, it’s in the top left. It happened more than once with my team member and myself that we had it checked by accident and deleted a few things not indended… nothing major though, would be just a really welcomed addition 
To remove that via settings would be the safest thing. I know it might be done via filter… However, if I buy this plugin for clients (that are admins), a setting would be the preferred thing.
What do you think about that?
Also, another suggestion: is it possible to implement settings export/import (via JSON or anything else), so that I can export default settings & crons? Would also help when using that together with clients…
Keep up the great work!

Hi Dave,
yes, it will be possible to disable any tool from appearing in the list. This is already in plans for 3.0 later in May. And the same goes for settings export/import.

Wow, that is awesome Milan! Can’t wait to check that out
can i know what is the different between single license and extended license ?? cause base on codecanyon, both license is 100% other the prices is 5x. btw is that allow me to remove Antone API files, it seem like a tracking code that waste my server resources ?
Hi,
Information here: http://codecanyon.net/licenses/extended is best explanation of the license, I can’t tell you more than that. Licensing is Envato domain, authors have little say in that.
I am not sure what is Antone API. If you refer to Envato API included with the plugin, it is not tracking code or anything like it. It is loaded only on About panel to display my other products on CodeCanyon, and it doesn’t load on any other page, so it is not wasting any resources.

one simple question, would it work with wpms ? and customize data base (hybrid and multi db).
thanks
Hi,
Plugin relies on official WordPress database layer for executing queries. If you have WordPress Multisite/Network installation, plugin will also work, and you have extra tools made for the network mode and tables that are specific to that mode.
HybridDB and other methods for multi database installations are not official part of WordPress, and they are used on a very, very small number of websites, and the conception behind it makes it almost impossible to make a solution that will be universally capable of creating queries that can run on multiple servers. I don’t plan to add support for such database solutions.
Regards, Milan
thanks for answer … btw if wpms install, script have to run under individual site or network admin can run at his end ? cause is a bit troublesome to access each site to clean individual site db … thanks again.
Right now, each site gets to run it tools for own data, and in network admin you see tools related to the network. But, I plan to add a network admin override that will allow super admin to disable access to individual sites, and allow running site cleanup tools on one or more sites in the network. This way only super admin can use the plugin and it can cleanup up individual sites.
I can’t tell when this will happen, since I have some more important tools to implement for next major version. This advanced network support is rit now months away from implementation.
Milan
thanks …. will purchase now …
btw when network admin ready, let me know … i will purchase extended license
Thanks for the purchase! Once I finish 3.0 next month I will outline plans for future versions, and you will have some orientation about next set of changes that will make it more useful for network environments.
Regards, Milan
Hope this for great!
Thanks for the purchase!
I hope you will find it useful. Let me know what you thing once you try it.
Milan
Can you PLEASE add support for deleting all posts in a specified category and/or deleting all post between certain date ranges or all posts older than a specific date or number of days?
That is planned, but I can’t confirm when it will be added.
Are you planning to include a feature to clean up the options table? It would be very nice to have the feature that scans for orphaned and transient option settings similar to the plugin called Clean Options, however I have never been able to get that to work, it always times out for me.
Hi,
Plugin already can remove all transient options. Next version will get new tool to remove only expired transient options. As for the orphaned entries in wp_options, that is very hard to do reliably (well, impossible is better word).
Any plugin claiming that it can detect and remove orphaned options, it is simply not possible. I plan to add some tools in the future that can help with removal, but it will never be automatic or 100% effective.
Regards, Milan
I certainly understand the difficulty and danger level in detecting and removing orphaned options with a one click utility, but it would be great to help remove options that are left after a plugin uninstall.
Can you consider maybe including the search routine to locate them and make us users remove the orphan options manually just to be extra safe about the process. That way we, the user have to go in manually and think about what the options that we want to remove are instead of just a one click operation without forethought.
There will be a tool for that down the road, but I have no idea when. It will take time to do it, so it should be available in the next 2-3 months. I have some ideas on how to make this tool, but nothing yet usable.
Milan
Awesome, thanks for the quick replies, I have purchased quite a few items between my several accounts, and I am looking forward to your next release, that feature mentioned above is the most important to me but your other features are pretty nice also. Thanks for the hard work, and I hope your plugin gets more exposure to prompt additional development.
Thanks!
Hello, Just purchased this. Very useful. Thank you!
I’ve created a user meta using another plugin that I no longer need. How do I go about deleting it? It is empty.
Using WordPress MU 3.5.1
Hello, thanks for the purchase!
What kind of meta are we talking about? WP has a way for plugin to register user meta values for contact methods, but those stay active for as long as the plugin is active. After that, data remains in the database. I am thinking about additional tool that will allow removal of individual meta values from the database, but right now that is far from done since it is rather complex to do.
Current plugin can remove all meta records that are empty, and you can already run that, for posts, comments or users tables. Since you use Multisite version, any tool that is users related will be available through plugin in Network admin only.
Regards, Milan
Hi Milan, I was able to delete the meta with the same plugin that created it. It took clearing the cache to see that it did indeed was deleted. Thank you for a useful tool. 5 stars!
Thanks!
This plugin looks very promising.
One feature I would like to have is the ability to schedule a BackupBuddy database backup prior to a cleanup.
Does the plugin have a way to do that?
Hi,
Next 2.1 version (early next week) will add more filters and actions to control execution process, and that will allow adding of custom code to hook into the plugin. And with that you can write snippets to call backup before cleanup, or whatever you might need. I will not add direct integration with third party plugins because that is too complicated to do in most cases, and pain to maintain later. Filters are actions are best way to add extra control.
Regards, Milan
Hi Milan,
I agree that direct integration is not the way to go. But a hook to run something generically prior to, and after, the cleanup is the thing I am looking for.
Awesome! You may have another sale!
Great, thanks!
Sorry for delay with this feature. I am finally preparing the new 2.1 version, with few new cleanup tools and various hooks for the cleanup process that can be used within other plugins. I will be releasing new version on February 6/7.
Milan
Hi Milan,
Thanks much for the update. Have you tested the hooks to trigger say… a BackupBuddy backup? I’ll have to research how to set up a backup with BackupBuddy and the cleanup tools. I’m sure many others would like to know this also, as BUB is quite commonly used.
Thanks much and look forward to the release!
Hi,
I never used BackupBuddy, so I am not sure if it can be activated that way. But, I will add information into the documentation on how to use the filters plugin has for cleanup control.
Regards, Milan
Is it possible to set up the number of revisions to save? For example, WP has saved a half-dozen or so revisions. Would it be possible to set it so all but the three most recent revisions are deleted. This could be a feature for cleanup or perhaps something that is running all of the time.
Also, it would be nice to be able to turn off WordPress’ automatic revision creator?
No, plugin will remain for cleanup only. Idea is to have plugin that is simple to use with as little settings as possible. Once I start adding things that don’t really belong there, plugin can quickly grow out of control and will became less useful than it is now.
Milan
Can this plugin be used on more than one of my sites?
Same as with any other plugin on CodeCanyon, according to the license: http://codecanyon.net/licenses/regular_extended
Hi again! Plugin is really awesome, working like a charm! I really like the admin interface and how clean and simple it is! Should be standard in core, hehe
Another question/ suggestion I have: Is it possible to add some kind of scheduling to the plugin? For me it would be especially useful for database optimizing (once per day, or twice a week or such…). Would be awesome!
Thanks for your great work again, I can recommend this to anyone!
Hi Dave,
Yes, there will be a new panel added for scheduling (select tools and period). Also, few more new tools are coming, and extra options for some of them.
Regards, Milan
Great work on this. Very useful.
Awesome plugin again Keep it up!
One question I have: Could you add a post type selection for the revision deletion management? This would be useful if revisions from some custom post types should stay in the system, like for great plugin “WP Document Revisions” (via WP.org repository). If you could add that in a future version, this would be awesome!
Thanks, Dave
Hi Dave, thanks for the purchase, again .
That is good idea, and I will see about adding post type selection for few cleanup tools.
Regards, Milan
Sounds great, Milan! Awesome
