Hi,

I would like to clean up my spamblocklog and visitors tables as they take up quite a big amount of disk space. Do I break my s9y installation by simply zapping all records older than january 2009 according to Unix timestamp (spamblocklog) or date/time (visitors)?

Or does s9y have a high-level frontend function to clean up?

Greetings
Marc

As far as I know, you can even delete the spamblocklogtable, reinstall the plugin, and the table should get recreated. If you delete the content of the table a reinstall of the plugin shouldn't be necessary.

Does that also apply to the visitors table?

Hi!

s9y has no high level function for that yet, sadly. But you can easily truncate (not drop) the table, without the need to reinstall a plugin. Of course, first backup the data you want to backup
