How to De-Clutter Your WordPress Site

There’s been a movement afoot to remove clutter from our lives. Following author Marie Kondo’s question of whether an item “sparks joy”, people are tossing junk left and right. And frankly, we should be doing something similar when it comes to our WordPress websites.

Over time, a site can get gummed up with all sorts of items that are no longer needed. This can degrade performance and result in an unnecessarily large storage footprint. It can also overcomplicate the process of troubleshooting problems.

Of course, there are some differences between cleaning out your attic and your site. With a website, you have to be extra careful in what you remove. Otherwise, you could be left with broken links or worse. Therefore, caution is always recommended.

Today, we’ll point you towards some areas where virtual garbage can begin to pile up. And we’ll also introduce you to a few tools that can help make the cleaning process that much easier.

Cut the Low-Hanging Fruit

On a typical WordPress site, you shouldn’t need to look very far to find unnecessary items. This is particularly true for both the plugins and themes areas.

WordPress itself comes with a default theme. And as new default themes are released, they may become a part of your install as well. While these themes are nice enough, if you’re not actively using one of them, what’s the point of keeping them around?

The same goes for plugins. Beyond the default Akismet and Hello Dolly offerings, users have been known to add all sorts of experimental junk here as well. It seems that we love to install all manner of plugins and either: a) play around with them for a bit, then abandon the effort, or; b) install the plugin and never bother to activate it at all.

This goes well beyond just clutter. It can actually be a security risk. For instance, if an unused theme or plugin has a security flaw, a bot (or a human) may be able to sniff it out and exploit it.

Fortunately, this should be the easiest stuff to remove. The main rule of thumb is: If you’re not using it, get rid of it.

A list of installed WordPress themes.

Trim Old Content and Revisions

Just about every site has some measurable amount of outdated or unused content. This could include anything from a 10-year-old blog post about how great the iPhone 3GS is, to those items you marked as drafts that were never quite finished. Not to mention the potentially thousands of revisions WordPress saves as you make changes to your content.

Even small sites can suffer from this level of clutter. As these items start to add up, your site’s database can become a bit bloated. And for a large website, this can result in significantly slower performance. As such, it’s worthwhile to do some cleanup.

Remove Drafts
The quickest and easiest thing to do is to review and remove all of the page and post drafts within your site. WordPress makes this easy, as you can use the menu at the top of the page/post listing to filter out everything but drafts. From there, it’s just a matter of deleting those items that you know you’ll never use.

WordPress Post Filtering Dialogue.

Limit Revisions
Every time you make a change to content and save it, WordPress keeps track of it (plus an ‘Autosave’ as you make edits) in the form of a revision. This comes in handy when you want to restore something to its previous state. However, you may not want to keep an unlimited number of them lying around.

Through a quick addition to your site’s wp-config.php file, you can limit the amount of revisions WordPress will keep for any single content item:

define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 5 );

Determining a number may be difficult, as you never know how far you’ll need to go back in time. However, it is important to place some sort of limitation here, as it’s a huge source of clutter. For most sites, 5-10 revisions should be enough. In the snippet above, we’ve decided to keep 5 revisions.

Use a Tool
As usual, there are a number of WordPress Plugins available to help make for a smoother process. Depending on your specific needs, WP-Optimize, WP-Sweep and Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions are all popular and highly-recommended choices.

Each one covers similar territory, cleaning up old revisions, comments and other database-bloating junk. Some offer automatic cleanup, adding an extra layer of convenience. Check them out and see which one is the best fit for your situation.

Look for Homeless Media Files

Another potentially messy situation can arise when you have unused media files hanging around. Images are perhaps the worst perpetrators, as uploading a single one outputs several thumbnail versions. Plus, many plugins (such as photo galleries and sliders) churn out their own specific thumbnail sizes. Things can go from merely messy to a full-blown hoard in a short amount of time.

Having multiple versions of an image isn’t necessarily bad – as long as you’re still using them. But there may be a number of images, pdfs and other media files that aren’t being used at all. These “homeless” files take up storage space and can slow down processes such as Media Library searches.

While you can certainly go through your /wp-content/uploads/ folder with a fine-toothed comb, it can be near impossible to weed out each and every unused file. It’s also a process that’s ripe for mistakes. That’s where a plugin such as Media Cleaner can be of great help.

It will scan your uploads and look for files that aren’t associated with a WordPress post, photo gallery, etc. There’s also a separate “Trash” bin that allows you to double-check to make sure a file is safe to delete before taking action.

The WordPress Media Library.

Tidy Your Dashboard

The WordPress Dashboard can become quite unwieldy. The more items you install, the more menu entries, widgets and notifications start to appear. Not only does this make the items you need harder to find, it also distracts from getting actual work done.

We won’t spend a lot of time on this particular area of clutter, but suffice it say that uninstalling unnecessary themes and plugins can do wonders here as well. Beyond that, you can make use of the “Screen Options” tab at the top of each page within the back end. This will enable you to turn off some extras that you don’t want to see.

And again, there are plugins that will help you clean up the menu system. One such option is Admin Menu Editor. It helps you hide menu items you don’t need – or even stash them away based on a user’s role. In short, you can bring some visual Zen to one of the messiest parts of WordPress.

WordPress Screen Options Dialogue.

Keep It Clean

Virtually every WordPress website can benefit from some routine house cleaning. And, unlike that pile waiting for you in the kid’s room, this type of cleanup doesn’t require a whole lot of effort. With the help of some handy tools, much of what needs to be done can be automated.

Still, it’s worth noting that you shouldn’t delete anything from your site without understanding the consequences. That’s why it’s always recommended to keep fresh backups around – just in case.

Once you’re prepared to move forward, you can toss out the bloat and experience the, well, joy that comes from a squeaky-clean website.

The Month in WordPress: May 2019

This month saw the 16th anniversary since the launch of the first release of WordPress. A significant milestone to be sure and one that speaks to the strength and stability of the project as a whole. In this anniversary month, we saw a new major release of WordPress, some exciting new development work, and a significant global event.


Release of WordPress 5.2

WordPress 5.2 “Jaco” was released on May 7 shipping some useful site management tools, such as the Site Health Check and PHP Error Protection, as well as a number of accessibility, privacy, and developer updates. You can read the field guide for this release for more detailed information about what was included and how it all works.

327 individual volunteers contributed to the release. If you would like to be a part of that number for future releases, follow the Core team blog and join the #core channel in the Making WordPress Slack group.

A Successful WordPress Translation Day 4

WordPress Translation Day is a 24-hour event organised by the Polyglots team where community members from all over the world come together to translate WordPress into their local languages. For the fourth edition held on 11 May, 183 brand new contributors joined the Polyglots team from 77 communities across 35 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania.

While the WP Translation Day is a great time for focussed contributions to localizing WordPress, but these contributions can happen at any time of the year, so if you would like to help make WordPress available in your local language, follow the Polyglots team blog and join the #polyglots channel in the Making WordPress Slack group.

Updated Plugin Guidelines Proposal

The Plugins team has proposed some updates to the guidelines for developers on the Plugin Directory. The majority of the proposed changes are intended to address significant issues faced by developers who do not speak English as a first language, making the Plugin DIrectory a more accessible and beneficial place for everyone.

The proposal will be open for comments until late June, so the community is encouraged to get involved with commenting on them and the direction they will take the Plugin Directory. If you would like to be involved in this discussion, comment on the proposal and join the #plugin review team in the Making WordPress Slack group.

Continued Gutenberg Development

Since the block editor was first released as part of WordPress Core in v5.0, development has continued in leaps and bounds with a new release every two weeks. The latest update includes some great incremental improvements that will be merged into the 5.2.2 release of WordPress along with the other recent enhancements.

In addition to the editor enhancements, work has been ongoing in the Gutenberg project to bring the block editing experience to the rest of the WordPress dashboard. This second phase of the project has been going well and the latest update shows how much work has been done so far.

In addition to that, the Block Library project that aims to bring a searchable library of available blocks right into the editor is deep in the planning phase with a recent update showing what direction the team is taking things.

If you would like to get involved in planning and development of Gutenberg and the block editor, follow the Core and Design team blogs and join the #core, #design, and #core-editor channels in the Making WordPress Slack group.

Herbalife ‘Scam’ Weight Loss Product Associated with Fatal Liver Failure

Herbalife Scam Weight Loss Product Associated with Fatal Liver Failure
“protein powder isolated on whiteYou can find all the images below in the same lightbox, I dare you to take a pick:”

A case report from India has connected products from Herbalife to acute liver failure. The findings follow similar reports from other countries, including Israel, Spain, Switzerland, Iceland, Argentina and the United States. The study, published in the March-April issue of the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hepatology, also points out the dangers associated with herbal and dietary supplements (HDSs), many of which promise results with no factual basis.

The case report highlights a 24-year-old woman with hypothyroidism who was otherwise healthy but taking thyroxine supplementation. She initiated three Herbalife products: Formula 1 Shake Mix (two scoops/day with skim milk), Personalized Protein Powder (two tablespoons twice/day into the Shake Mix), and Afresh Energy Drink (10 g twice/day).

Two months after starting these supplements, the patient had a week of lost appetite and then followed by jaundice and transient pruritus.

“Initial blood work revealed that total serum bilirubin level was12.4 (upper limit of normal [ULN] 1.1 mg/dL); direct bilirubin, 9.9 (ULN 0.2 mg/dL); aspartate aminotransferase,582 (ULN 36 U/L); alanine aminotransferase, 648 (ULN45 U/L); alkaline phosphatase, 248 (ULN 120 U/L);gamma-glutamyl transferase level, 398 (ULN 35 U/L); albumin, 3 (ULN 5.5 g/dL) and international normalised ratio,4.7 (normal 1.2),” the report details. When the patient’s jaundice worsened, she went to the emergency department. Blood tests were performed for conditions including hepatitis and HIV.

“A transjugular liver biopsy showed extensive periportal and perivenular bridging necrosis with moderate-to-severe mixed inflammatory infiltration, interface hepatitis, cholangitis, severe ballooning, steatosis and intracanalicular cholestasis,” according to the report. The patient was referred to a transplant center and placed on a waiting list but soon died.

An Assessment of Herbalife

The doctors considered the possibility that Herbalife had contributed to the patient’s liver injury but were unsuccessful in obtaining products from the patient’s grieving family, but they obtained one product from the same seller the patient purchased her products from—it was also discovered that this distributor was operating without a license and was eventually shut down by the Department of Health and Human Services, Government of Kerala. Other Herbalife products were purchased online.

Upon analysis, all of the sourced Herbalife products contained high levels of heavy metals, and 75% of the samples contained undisclosed toxic compounds, while 63% of the samples contained bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid. Upon RNA analysis, multiple bacterial communities were discovered in Herbalife products—“including highly pathogenic species.”

Health Supplements Likely Do More Harm than Good

The researchers pointed out that many products advertised as nutritional supplements based in wellness not only have no health benefits but could in fact be harmful. Often, these products boast potential outcomes with no clinical evidence to support the company’s claims.

“As with any drug, it is important to put HDSs through preclinical and clinical scientific studies and postmarketing vigilance so that unknown and potentially harmful causes for severe adverse effects, such as liver failure due to the use of such agents, may be more identifiable and controlled,” the researchers wrote.
