| Feb 6, 2014 at 7:11 | comment | added | fischi | The point is for example converting the SEO information from one plugin to another, without losing information, or inserting a lot of content - which must only run once. And with WordPress built in functions you are a lot faster a more secure than running queries in your Database. | |

I guess I don't understand why you would want to do this, if you want to change the name of a meta_key used in both the database and in your code, is there really a one-time-run-do-all script? Even if you didn't have to change the database and just needed to change code, if you included a script via include wouldn't it stay stagnant until the page is called? I suppose I'm missing the point here :/

Yes, I am only talking about manual on-time operations, like migrating-scripts etc., not wp-cron scheduled events.

| Jan 29, 2014 at 20:31 | comment | added | fischi | The thing is I am worried that a script might be called a second time, per coincidence. but I did your approach countless times ;) | |
| Jan 29, 2014 at 18:44 | comment | added | Otto | If it's truly a one-time only deal, then I write the script, I run it, then I delete it. Can't nobody run it again after that. Like all things, code is fleeting. ;) | |
