What’s Inside the New Settings Tab? #
The new tab includes the following sections:
1. General Settings #
Enable to Delete All Settings While Deleting the Plugin
Enable this option if:
-
You want all plugin-related data to be deleted during uninstallation, including:
-
Custom plugin options (
wp_options) -
Meta fields stored in posts or users (
postmeta,usermeta) -
Plugin-specific database tables (if any)
-
Keep this option disabled if: #
-
You plan to reinstall the plugin later and retain previous settings, headers, or mapped fields.
-
You want to temporarily deactivate or delete the plugin without losing configuration data.
Important: #
-
This setting only takes effect when the plugin is deleted, not deactivated.
-
Once deleted with this option enabled, data cannot be recovered unless backed up.
Use Case: #
Ideal for users who want a clean uninstall to maintain database hygiene or prepare for a fresh setup.
👥 2. Role Settings #
The Role Settings section allows you to control who can access the plugin within the WordPress dashboard.
You can assign access to specific user roles (e.g., Administrator, Shop Manager). Only the selected roles will be able to view and interact with the GSheetConnector plugin tabs and settings.
How It Works:
-
The plugin interface and its options will only be visible to users with the roles you’ve granted permission to.
-
Other users (with unselected roles) will not see the plugin tab in the WordPress menu at all.
This feature helps you restrict access, improve security, and keep your admin area clean for non-technical users.
🖥️ 4. System Status #
The System Status section might appear technical or overwhelming at first glance — but don’t worry. It’s designed purely for reference and is primarily helpful for developers or when you’re troubleshooting with our support team.
In most cases, you won’t need to interact with this section unless something isn’t working as expected with the GSheetConnector plugin. If you ever contact our support, we might ask for details from this screen to help us quickly identify and resolve any issues.
The System Status page is divided into two parts:
1. System Info #
This section provides a detailed overview of your website environment, including:
-
WordPress & WooCommerce versions
-
PHP version
-
Active theme & plugins
-
Server configurations
-
GSheetConnector-specific database entries
This information helps us understand your site setup when diagnosing issues.
2. Error Log #
This section logs any recent errors generated by the GSheetConnector plugin.
-
Errors are listed in reverse order (latest first), with a limit of the last 100 lines.
-
It’s especially useful when you’re facing unexpected behavior and need support assistance.
💡 In summary: The System Status section offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the plugin is running. It’s mainly for developers or support purposes — if everything’s working fine, you can simply ignore it and enjoy using GSheetConnector worry-free.
3. How to Share System Info with Support #
