Traditional cleanup tools reach for aggressive drop/delete queries that risk breaking your site. Attic audits your WordPress database for bloat, without any of that: * **Autoloaded option bloat** — oversized options that load on every page request, ranked by size against Site Health’s 800 KB line. * **Ghost cron events** — scheduled hooks with no registered callback, firing forever and doing nothing. * **Orphaned tables** — tables no installed plugin claims, with reclaimable megabytes up front. * **Stranded transients** — expired timeout pairs and orphaned rows. * **Leftovers from deleted plugins** — data whose owning plugin is absent from disk entirely. Two rules outrank every feature: 1. **Quarantine, never delete.** Options are stored before removal. Tables are renamed(` wp_attic_quarantined_*`), never dropped until a purge window passes. 2. **Nothing is called orphaned until your code has been searched for it.** Attic streams `wp-content` — plugins, mu-plugins, themes, `wp-config.php` — looking for every candidate name before promoting anything to high confidence. Every finding shows its full evidence inline: which rule fired, what it attributed to and whether that plugin exists on disk, how many code references were found, and the size. A finding you cannot audit is a finding you should not act on. ### Filters * `attic_protected_options` — additional never-flag option names * `attic_protected_cron_hooks` / `attic_protected_tables` — same, for cron and tables * `attic_finding_confidence` — last word on any single finding’s confidence * `attic_reference_scan_roots` — unusual layouts, custom content dirs ## Installation 1. Upload the `attic` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. 3. Navigate to **Tools Attic** to run your first audit. ## FAQ ### Is this safe? The scan is read-only. Nothing changes until you take an explicit, confirmed action. Core options like `siteurl`, `active_plugins` and `cron` can never be flagged, and neither can anything on your own protected list or the `attic_protected_options` filter. ### How do I undo something? Tools Attic Quarantine. Every action creates a batch; restore a whole batch in one click. Batches auto-purge after 30 days (configurable). ### Why does my finding say «review» instead of «high»? High confidence requires: the owning plugin absent from disk (or size-flagged _and_ unread), AND zero literal AND zero prefix references in your code. Dynamic option names never literal-match, so weak signals still demote findings. If your filesystem could not be read, everything is marked unverified rather than guessed at. ### Does it work with external object caches? Yes — when Redis/Memcached is active, transients never touch the options table, and Attic says so instead of showing a meaningless clean bill of health. ### Multisite? Single-site and subdirectory multisite installs work. Network-wide fleet scanning is planned. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Attic — Safe Database Audit” is open source software.
