Grandplugins “Coming Soon” plugin is incompatible with XStore. I deleted the plugin but the meta data, around 15 columns worth, still remain. Is there a way to restore the columns to the original ones that are part of the theme? I see that I can manually delete them for each product, but that process seems tedious and I am afraid that the data still will be saved somewhere in the database.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello, Safe Desires ,

Thank you for getting in touch with us.

Have you tried to contact support of the plugin first?

Could you provide some screenshots for a better understanding of your request?

We can recommend some basic steps (independent of the theme) following steps to clean up the residual metadata:
1. **Backup Your Database**: Before proceeding, ensure you have a complete backup of your WordPress database. This is crucial as it allows you to restore your site to its original state if needed.
2. **Use a Database Cleanup Plugin**: There are several plugins available that can help you clean up leftover database entries. Plugins like “WP-Optimize” or “Advanced Database Cleaner” are designed for this purpose. They can help you safely delete unused data without affecting the rest of your site.
3. **Manual Deletion**: If you prefer manual deletion, you can use tools like phpMyAdmin to access your database directly. However, this method requires caution. Only proceed if you are comfortable with database management, or consider seeking assistance from a professional.
4. **Consult with a Developer**: If the above steps seem daunting, it might be beneficial to consult with a developer who has experience in WordPress and database management. They can ensure that all unwanted metadata is removed correctly and safely.

Best Regards,
