Large "wp_wassup" table

    Hi michelem

    I have ‘inherited’ a WP website, and am just going through things to see how it fits together.

    I’ve ran a database backup, and was surprised to see that ~75% of the size of the database consists of the “wp_wassup” table.

    However, your WassUp plugin no longer seems to be installed.

    What’s the safest/easiest way to delete this table, please ? (I don’t have cPanel/phpMyAdmin access).

    I spotted this in your FAQ, so should I re-install the plugin and then uninstall again ?

    How do I uninstall WassUp?
    To completely remove WassUp’s settings and tables from WordPress, go to Wassup >> Options >> [Uninstall] tab, check the “Uninstall” box, click the “[Save Settings]” button, then deactivate WassUp in “Plugins”.

    Thanks for any advice. 🙂

    Yep. Reinstalling Wassup and then deactivating the plugin (with “uninstall” checked in Wassup-options) will delete the wp_wassup table. After deactivation, you should also delete the plugin files by clicking “delete” link under the plugin name in WordPress’ Plugins menu.

    You should know that when you re-install WassUp, if your ‘wp_wassup’ table is excessively large, the reinstall could be very slow and your browser may timeout prematurely (blank screen). If this happens, reload the Plugins page after a few minutes, until you see that WassUp is activated.

    thanks, helened.

    Process went smoothly and was fairly quick (I only have a small site).

    DB tables reduced from 30+mb down to 1.3mb.
