# Optimise button greyed out?

 * I went to run optimise tables, which I’ve been running periodically for a few
   weeks, and the optimise tables button was greyed out. All the other options are
   fine.
 * I read that it could be because of InnoDB tables, but all the ones that needed
   optimising were MyISAM.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Foptimise-button-greyed-out%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * In the notes for the ‘Optimize database tables’ option, what is the count of 
   InnoDB tables and ‘Other Tables’ (shown in brackets)?

 * I have the same problem. Optimize tables is greyed out. I have a mix of InnoDB
   and MyISAM tables.

 * The other tables are MyISAM tables.
 * If I select the “Optimize InnoDB tables anyway” option, the optimize tables is
   no longer greyed out.
 * How can I only optimize the MyISAM tables?

 * These are the details for the databases.
 * Tables using the InnoDB engine (22) will not be optimized. Other tables will 
   be optimized (32).

 * I have the same issue
 * “Tables using the InnoDB engine (5) will not be optimized. Other tables will 
   be optimized (78).”
    “Optimize InnoDB tables anyway.”
 * Is it possible to just optimise the other ones and not InnoDB?

 * Hi,
 * There’s a fix for how this is handled in version 2.2.1, about to be released.
   If you still have problems in 2.2.1, please open a new topic to let us know about
   it.
