Enfold Performance

Hi team,

Today I found that Enfold writes empty postmeta to the DB when the layout settings are left as defaults; on a large site this creates a big problem, but it is easily fixed in core.

The following snippet will filter these out via functions.php

`/**
* Prevent Enfold from saving empty/default postmeta values
* This reduces database bloat by not storing values that match defaults
*/
add_action( ‘avia_save_post_meta_box’, ‘prevent_empty_enfold_postmeta’, 5 );

function prevent_empty_enfold_postmeta( $post ) {
// Meta keys that should not be saved when empty/default
$skip_empty_meta = array(
‘footer’,
‘footer_behavior’,
‘header_title_bar’,
‘header_transparency’,
‘layout’,
‘sidebar’
);

foreach ( $skip_empty_meta as $meta_key ) {
// If the value is empty, unset it from POST so it won’t be saved
if ( isset( $_POST[ $meta_key ] ) && $_POST[ $meta_key ] === ” ) {
unset( $_POST[ $meta_key ] );
// Also delete any existing meta with this key
delete_post_meta( $post->ID, $meta_key );
}
}
}`

Would you consider fixing this in core?
