   I'm looking over some of the entries in my site's database after upgrading to WP 2.8 and have a report that says "the following options appear to be orphans." They look more like important core options to me, but I've read that changes have been made to the way that WP works with some core widgets and functions.

   Thanks.

   Hi gestroud,

   I recommend you do NOT delete those options. I myself just upgraded and have the same ones showing. I'm guessing that those are new core options in version 2.8 that do not "fit" the regex I'm using in the plugin when it combs through the core files. I am in the process of making the plugin compatible with version 2.8 and will have the next release out ASAP.

   Thanks Mittineague. I guess you can tell I'm using your Clean Options plugin on my site.

   Those options are new with version 2.8 and did not exist in 2.7.1

   So if you are now running 2.7.1 again they won't be needed and should be safe to delete, although there might be problems if you didn't roll back your database too.

   I made a few changes with Clean Options 1.2.0 including making those new options non-selectable for deletion

   - Internationalization
   - updated the $known_ ok array (for WordPress 2.8)
   - changed admin CSS hook
   - plugin page Settings link
   - option count in admin menu
   - minor tweaks

   so you may need to use CO ver. 1.1.9 if you want to use the plugin to remove them.
