Why use this plugin?

Over time, WordPress sites accumulate post meta data from plugins, themes, and page builders. When you switch or remove plugins, their meta often stays in the database – bloating tables, slowing queries, and making backups larger. Post Meta Editor and Cleaner gives you direct control over this data.

Key benefits

• Database optimization – Remove orphaned meta from deleted plugins to reduce database size and improve performance.
• Source identification – See which plugin or theme created each meta key. The built-in source map recognizes 50+ popular plugins (WooCommerce, Yoast, Rank Math, Elementor, Jetpack, WPML, and many more).
• Table search, filters and sorting – Advanced search across meta key, post type and field content (including serialized fragments); column filters for Meta Key, Source and Post Type; sort by Meta Key, Source, Count or Size.
• Bulk delete – Delete more meta keys at once. Adjust process speed to avoid timeouts on large sites.
• Search and replace – Update URLs, domain names, or text across all posts. Works with serialized data, including double-serialized values – both array values and array keys can be updated. Values containing PHP objects are skipped for safety.
• Flexible deletion – Delete the entire meta key and its values, or clear values only while keeping the key structure.
• Safe editing – Overwrite meta values in bulk, or perform targeted search-and-replace. Batches are resumable after connection errors, concurrent operations on the same meta key are blocked server-side, and any database error stops the operation with a clear message. Ideal for migrations, domain changes, or fixing incorrect product data.
• Large-site friendly – On catalogs with many products the overview is not scanned automatically. You start with Read data when ready; progress shows percentage and item counts; selected rows can be refreshed without rebuilding the whole index.

What you can do

• Browse the post meta overview with search, column filters and sortable columns (including Size in MB).
• Clean up after removing plugins or themes.
• Migrate a site and update old URLs in meta fields.
• Fix WooCommerce product attributes, SEO meta, or custom fields in bulk.
• Identify and remove unused or duplicate meta keys.
• Reduce wp_postmeta table size for faster backups and queries.

Important

Before making any changes, create a backup, as modifications and deletions can only be restored from a backup.
