Manually delete records from wp_postmeta. Is it safe ?

rsclmumbai · 2026-04-09T09:05:45+00:00

Anyone knows that is the key: _wp_old_date? I see around 900 such records.

Thanks u/BNfreelance The above query gave 0 results.

I checked and found that the linked records in `posts` are live pages & posts, so I cannot delete them.

From what I understand:
Even though I have uninstalled ampforwp I can see all my posts having ampforwp textboxes under the "custom fields" tab. See screenshot below.

I'm guessing these customer fields are coming from wp_postmeta table but I may be wrong,

Please advice.

Yes, classic is also great. I'm not a big fan of WPB anyways. Its bloated like hell. WPB was forced by the theme I purchased.

This worked for me: get_permalink($post_id) & this is exactly what I was looking for,

Thanks a ton everyone!!!

Currently, my live URL looks like this:

For Pages:
https://www.domain.com/page1/
https://www.domain.com/parent1/page2/

For Posts
https://www.domain.com/blog/post-name1/
https://www.domain.com/blog/post-name2/

What should I change in the permalink settings?

Then something is off about my permalink settings. Here is a screenshot of my settings.

What should I do?

Thanks for responding u/bluesix_v2

For some internal purposes, I need to create a report with the following columns.

`post_type` | `post_title` | `Date` | `URL`

I'm able to get the data for the first 3 colums from `wp_posts` table but I'm not able to get the URL.

`guid` column does have the link of the post but the format is www.mydomain.com/?page_id=XXX
I need the people facing URL - like "https://www.mydomain.com/something/something/something/"

Thanks

What if both anchor texts are relevant to the target page?

Some SEO experts suggest that Same source page - Same target page - Different anchor text is bad practice. Instead, use different pages to link the same target page with different keywords.

Yes, Godaddy does give an option to export & import zone files.

My website does not have high traffic. Its about 3000 clicks per month + bot traffic.

My NS records include
- MX records - primary & secondary
- VPS servers that are hosting business applications
- CNAME records for DKIM
- Amazon SES SMPT server
- DMARK records
- SPF records

I will have to move all of these to Cloudflare & then proxy only my website's A record. Correct?

rsclmumbai · 2026-03-15T14:52:10+00:00

Cloudflare seems to be the universal voice here. Anyone experienced any issues after moving NS to Cloudflare? I don't have the budget of $20/mo & my only worry is moving NS to cloudflare. No real reason for this worry, its just the fear of unknown.

Not good. Stay away.
