Fruti Serialized Data Audit Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
A plain find-and-replace on a WordPress database, or a hand-edited export, changes the text inside
serialized values but not the byte-length prefix PHP stored with every string. The import then
reports success, and widgets, theme settings, page-builder layouts or plugin options quietly
disappear. This plugin reads a .sql dump, parses every serialized payload it finds, and lists the
ones that are structurally broken, with the line number, the table it belongs to, the reason and a
short snippet.
Detected structural problems:
string_length_mismatch– a string’s declared byte length no longer matches its content, the
classic result of a naive search-and-replace or of a UTF-8/latin1 conversion.count_mismatch– an array or object declares more items than it contains.truncated– the payload ends in the middle of a structure.invalid_type– a payload starts but the expected next token is not a valid serialized value.
Supported serialization tokens: N, b, i, d, s, a, O, r, R, E and C, in both
plain and mysqldump-escaped form. C: payloads are treated as opaque bytes and are never parsed
recursively.
The plugin never modifies your data. It does not import the dump, does not connect to the database,
does not execute SQL and does not write a repaired file. It only reports.
Usage
- Export the database you are about to import:
mysqldump -u user -p dbname > dump.sql. - Open Tools -> Fruti Serialized Data Audit and choose that
.sqlfile. - Press Run Audit and read the summary plus the list of broken payloads.
- Fix the cause with
wp search-replaceor a serialization-aware replacement, export a fresh dump and audit it again.
Privacy
Uploaded SQL files are processed locally on the WordPress server and are not stored or transmitted
by the plugin.
The file is analysed in PHP’s upload temporary file. It is not copied into the media library, not
placed in wp-content/uploads, not saved in the plugin directory, not stored in the database and
not written to logs or cache. The plugin makes no network requests and sends no telemetry.
