WP Database Sanity Check

WordPress does not enforce database integrity. It never has. This plugin exists to show me the consequences of that, calmly, without trying to fix everything automatically.

What it does

Adds: Tools DB Sanity Check It audits core tables and reports: Orphaned postmeta Attachments and revisions pointing at missing parents Orphaned commentmeta Comments attached to missing posts Broken taxonomy relationships Term count mismatches Exports JSON so I can review or hand it to someone else.

What it does not do

No deletion No repair No optimisation No magic It shows facts. I decide what to do next.

Notes

Cleaning database rows is destructive. Even when rows look unused, they might be referenced indirectly by plugins or custom code. Always back up. Prefer staging. Delete in small batches.
