    If I want to delete all my drafts can I simply delete all the entries in my wp_posts table that have a post_status of “draft”?

    Not advisable to do it that way.

    Delete them in your admin.

    Thank-you.

    The reason I want to do it this way is because I used an RSS plugin that added over 8,000 drafts and the admin has no way to mass-delete. They are all in one category, so they’re easy to find in the table. There are no comments to them.

    If I delete them from wp_posts will it affect other tables?

    Wow, this forum really sucks. I have NEVER received a useful answer to a question.

    Absolutely useless. You’re better off finding a 3rd party answer on Google
