    Hi,

    We have disabled the AI options in Rank Math, but we still see rank_math_content_ai_prompts occupying 36,437 bytes in the autoload section of wp_options. How can we safely remove this entry to free up space?

    When we attempt to delete it, we encounter PHP warnings. Could you please advise on the safe way to remove this option since we no longer use it and it is taking up space?

    Thank you.

      • Access phpMyAdmin from your hosting control panel.
      • Select your WordPress database.

    That results in a missing value php warning in the logs. Can we mark it autoload NO? what impact will the plugin have?

    Hello,

    If you’re not using the Content AI, you can disable this in Rank Math > Dashboard

    content ai

    Also, you can disable the autoload option if it’s still generating even if the setting above is already disabled.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi,

    The steps you mentioned have already been completed, as described in my initial post. How can we offload rank_math_content_ai_prompts- from the wp_options table? It’s currently occupying almost 37KB.

    Looking forward for your insights!

    Hello,

    Are you able to set the autoload on rank_math_content_ai_prompts to false?

    You can proceed if you haven’t.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Hi,

    It’s indeed possible to set it to “no”. However, the larger question is:

    *Can we safely delete the rank_math_content_ai_prompts entry from wp_options since it is occupying space? Given that we have disabled the AI option, will this affect the plugin’s functionality or cause any issues? Are there any other dependencies related to this entry?

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    Yes, you can delete that database entry in your wp_options table. As a precaution, take a full backup of your database first before doing such action.

    Removing that option will not cause any issues with the rest of the plugin’s functionality since the Content AI module is already deactivated.

    Hope that helps.
