    I want to know what format is this and if I can create my own ?

    a:1:{s:10:”subscriber”;b:1;}

    I think it’s something like an array data ?

    I have about 4-5 fields stored now in serialize array, and it work’s well.

    In anyway we can read the data in serialized array directly, maybe it’s not uncomfortable like a search in single meta_value but it it very usefull in code – 1 query – you can get a related group of data.

    Hi @wildapache,

    Thank you for sharing more information on this. That is the advantage of sorting the related values in a serialized array. You only need to use a separate meta key if you frequently need to search for or filter data by a specific value.
