Give WordPress meta queries a performance kick. Change the structure of important meta data fields to a horizontal/relational structure to overcome the performance restrictions that exist in the current meta structure.

Horizontal Meta creates additional relational tables in monitors specific meta keys for updates and deletions and will copy any update into the relational table.

NOTE: Horizontal Meta is currently NOT compatible with advanced meta querying features available in WordPress 4.1 and later!!! You will still be able to use Horizontal Meta for meta data extraction, but Horizontal Meta will not be able to rewrite complex queries. This may be available sometime in the future.

What it's got

  • Create Data-typed mappings in a horizontal/relational structure.
  • Includes short text (string), date, time, numeric, decimal, text, long text data types.
  • Powerful user interface to review data stored in meta keys and manage the mappings stored in the system.
  • Manage mappings with the Horizontal Meta API
  • Works with User meta and Post meta
