<h4>Why use this plugin?</h4>
<p>Over time, WordPress sites accumulate post meta data from plugins, themes, and page builders. When you switch or remove plugins, their meta often stays in the database — bloating tables, slowing queries, and making backups larger. Post Meta Editor and Cleaner gives you direct control over this data.</p>
<h4>Key benefits</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Database optimization</strong> — Remove orphaned meta from deleted plugins to reduce database size and improve performance.</li>
<li><strong>Source identification</strong> — See which plugin or theme created each meta key. The built-in source map recognizes 50+ popular plugins (WooCommerce, Yoast, Rank Math, Elementor, Jetpack, WPML, and many more).</li>
<li><strong>Bulk delete</strong> — Delete more meta keys at once. Adjust process speed to avoid timeouts on large sites.</li>
<li><strong>Search and replace</strong> — Update URLs, domain names, or text across all posts. Works with serialized data (arrays, objects) — both values and keys can be updated.</li>
<li><strong>Flexible deletion</strong> — Delete the entire meta key and its values, or clear values only while keeping the key structure.</li>
<li><strong>Safe editing</strong> — Overwrite meta values in bulk, or perform targeted search-and-replace. Ideal for migrations, domain changes, or fixing incorrect product data.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What you can do</h4>
<ul>
<li>Clean up after removing plugins or themes.</li>
<li>Migrate a site and update old URLs in meta fields.</li>
<li>Fix WooCommerce product attributes, SEO meta, or custom fields in bulk.</li>
<li>Identify and remove unused or duplicate meta keys.</li>
<li>Reduce <code>wp_postmeta</code> table size for faster backups and queries.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Important</h4>
<p>Before making any changes, create a backup, as modifications and deletions can only be restored from a backup.</p>

<p>Tired of typing in the same default content at the end of your post?  Use the same custom fields for each new post?  Make your WordPress install do it for you.</p>
<p><strong>Post Content</strong></p>
<p>Quickly and easily put together a block of default post text to be pulled up every time you go to write a new post.  The default content box uses the wordpress visual editor – so you can add images, embed video, and style your text just as you would for a normal post.  Save it, and voila – each new post gets the text.</p>
<p><strong>Post Meta</strong></p>
<p>You’re covered on default post meta as well – use this if your theme uses a thumbnail for each post, and you need a default if you’e got nothing to show,  or if you store a little extra information in the postmeta for each post.</p>
<h3>History</h3>
<p>2009-04-14 v1<br />
Initial release</p>
<p>2009-05-24 v1.1<br />
1. Fixed problems with visual editor and Firefox which prevented posts from being saved properly, and broke kitchen sink button<br />
2. Plugin now removes default post meta when deactivated, so users don’t have to do it manually<br />
3. Changing a post meta value on the post-new.php page and hitting update no longer changes the default post meta values – only the values for that post.  New posts will continue to get the values set on the admin page.</p>
<p>2010-01-09 v1.2<br />
1. Fixed Error that shows up when no default post content is set</p>
