@Frank:
uuuups, sorry, I left $locale = “de_DE” within the source for testing, somewhere at the beginning of the code. If you remove it, you’ll get englich, too.
I’ll to an update of the plugin download file as soon as I can get on my own machine…

$locale has been fixed now. Both languages, english and german should work now.

Hi
I have installed this plugin but it conflicted with two plugins. Popularity Contest (Most Popular post)it redirected to the option page. JSSPAM it removed the table from the database and prevented previous posts from being displayed.

@Brad,
thanks a lot for you feedback! Can you be a little bit more specific in which way Optimize DB conflicted with Popularity Contest and JSSPAM? Optimize DB doesn’t have any tables in the database, that could possibly be removed by JSSPAM…

Hi,
First off i like to say great plugin
I have fixed bit of your code to do with the Manage –> Optimize DB menu URL layout.
The URL bit used to be like this:
wp-admin/edit.php?page=optimize-db/optimize-db.php but i have made it little tidier to look like this:
wp-admin/edit.php?page=optimize-db.php
Here is what i did to fix it:
function dprx_opt_add_admin_pages() {
if (function_exists(’add_submenu_page’)) {
add_submenu_page(’edit.php’, ‘Optimize DB’, ‘Optimize DB’, 10, basename(__FILE__), ‘dprx_opt_manage_page’);
}
}
And I have added this to make it easier for people that just installed and activated the plugin:
Description: Lets you optimize your WordPress database tables with one click. Navigate to Manage → Optimize DB to get started.
Hope that helps.

Just a suggestion that when the optimization is finished it could say that as a closing line. Otherwise deadheads like me wonder if it’s finished.
