Q: It seems very promising.
Similar to ACF but designed for beginners and non-coders like me.
#1. I love WordPress so much, but most of the people I know tend to stay away from it because it doesn't scale well. With CubeWP, is it possible to manage millions of items on directory-style WordPress sites?
#2. How does CubeWP work at the database level? I came accross an article (https://wpgeodirectory.com/advanced-custom-fields-doesnt-scale/) in which GD claimed to be the only plugin capable of handling millions of listings by: a) No join is required. b) GD does not add to the wp_postmeta info, so it does not create unnecessary bulk. c) The database storing listing data counts 1 row per post.
Thank you.

Hello
Just following up on the question from @xaver.ari Could you please clarify:
#2. CubWP follows global WordPress data structure and is scalable.
Are you confirming:
a) No join is required. b) Nothing added to the wp_postmeta info c) The database storing listing data counts 1 row per post. ?
Thanks

Hi plato39,
Let me try to clarify your doubts.
We follow global WordPress data structure and do not write our own data structure to stay true to WordPress core.
a) No join is required
b) Nothing added to the wp_postmeta info.
CubeWP provide custom fields, the structure of custom fields is made by wp_postmeta.
c) The database storing listing data counts 1 row per post?
We have not developed CubeWP Framework for a single specific niche, rather it's global for any niche.
Hope this clarifies everything but please don't hesitate to ask.
c) The database storing listing data counts 1 row per post?
is that the post data, what about the post metadata that is where the performance hist will come. As every single custom post filed will be store there.
I asked this before
Will wpcube have something like
https://metabox.io/plugins/mb-custom-table/
To improve performance
The reply I got was currently not, so if it is following wordpress data structure every single custom field will have a new row in the post meta, which will kill performance with many posts
CubeWP strictly adheres to the WordPress core structure, ensuring that all data is managed within the WordPress ecosystem.
Each Custom Field in CubeWP functions as a metabox, operating in the same manner as WordPress metaboxes.
The entries for these metaboxes are saved in the WordPress database table "{Prefix}_postmeta," maintaining a relationship with the respective post IDs.
