Hi All,
I was wondering if keeping my draft post would cause issues. I like keep them to refer to as they generally have text and graphics I can re-use.
If I need to trim the drafts for efficiency...will I loose the associated images from the database also?
I there a way to "archive" drafts from the production site and store them?
Thanks for any help in advance,
Greg
There's no real impact with retained drafts other than, if you re-use the same page title as a pre-existing draft, WP will add -2 onto the new post/page with the same title.
If I need to trim the drafts for efficiency...will I loose the associated images from the database also?
No. Uploaded images have to be manually deleted from the Media Library.

Within WordPress, no - although you could always store them as text files on ypur own computer.

THANK YOU!
I'm trying to optimize my site. My post are generally only good for a month, and then the information is expired. But occasionally the same event repeats annually and I can reuse the content.
My webpagespeedtest is bad...I use W3 cache...smush my images...but my page still loads with sad rating. I thought the 400 images in media, and 200 + draft post were going to be my first plan of attack.
But...maybe not...
I really do appreciate your expertise, and the quick reply!

Those I would probably save as drafts for later re-publishing.
Images could be the source of some of your problems. Lots of large images on a page can play havoc with download speeds. Also go through your plugins - especially any that filter/generate front end content - and see if there are any that you can live without.
