[Resolved] Access phpmyadmin toolset specific archive database

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The customer wanted to locate and manage specific Toolset archive data in the database via phpMyAdmin and sought clarification on whether deleting a Toolset archive would also remove the associated data from the WordPress database.

Solution:

It was clarified that Toolset archives are not stored as separate database entries. Instead, they are dynamically generated using WordPress custom post types, taxonomies, and fields. Therefore, there is no specific database table labeled as a "Toolset archive." Key points addressed included:

1- Toolset Archive Location: Archives are generated on-the-fly based on Toolset settings rather than being stored as standalone entries in the MySQL database. Users should adjust or review archives through the Toolset interface under Toolset > WordPress Archives in the WordPress admin area.

2- Data Deletion: Deleting Toolset items (like custom post types or fields) from the WordPress backend will remove the associated data from the database. The customer was advised to refer to forum guidance on this topic and to back up their site before proceeding with deletions.

Tell us what you are trying to do? How can I locate a specific Toolset archive database in my cpanel phpmyadmin? How will it be named?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi there,

Thank you for your question!

Are you referring to WordPress archives?

Archives are not stored as separate database entries in MySQL. Instead, they are dynamically generated based on the settings you've configured in Toolset. This means there is no specific database table or entry labeled as a "Toolset archive" that you can locate.

The archives are created on the fly by WordPress, pulling information from your custom post types, taxonomies, or fields. If you're looking to adjust or review your archives, you can do so directly through the Toolset interface in the WordPress admin area under Toolset > WordPress Archives.

If I misunderstood your question or if you need further clarification/assistance, feel free to let us know. We're here to help!

Best regards,
Mateus

Anything related to Toolset that you delete from the WordPress backend will be deleted from the database as well.

For details about removing Toolset data, you'll find the points from Beda useful in this forum reply:

I suggest backing up the site before you proceed, in case anything goes wrong.
