What’s Inside the New Settings Tab? #
The new tab includes the following sections:
🔧 1. General Settings #
Customize global plugin behavior like API keys, default sync settings, and general preferences.
General Settings – Explained #
Inside the new Settings tab, the General Settings section provides key options to manage how the plugin handles data formatting and uninstallation behavior.
Row Input Format Option #
-
This option is useful when you want to maintain the exact formatting used in the Product Short Description and Description fields.
-
For example, if you’ve applied custom formatting (like line breaks, bullet points, or HTML tags) and you want to reuse or import this content elsewhere — this setting helps preserve that structure.
Why Use It?
When enabled, your product content will retain its original format, making it easier to display the same content consistently across different platforms or during future imports.
Uninstall Plugin Settings #
✅ Enable to Delete All Settings While Deleting the Plugin #
-
When this option is enabled, all plugin-related data (including settings, meta fields, and options created by the plugin) will be permanently removed when you delete the plugin from your site.
-
Use this if you want a complete and clean uninstallation of the plugin.
-
If disabled, your settings will remain in the database even after the plugin is removed (useful for reinstalling later with previous configurations intact).
👥 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.
🧪 3. Beta – Version #
We continuously work on enhancing our plugin with regular updates and feature improvements. The Beta Version option allows you to get early access to upcoming features before they’re officially released.
Why Enable This Option?
-
If you’re interested in testing the latest enhancements or experimental features, simply enable this setting.
-
It helps you explore what’s coming next and gives us valuable feedback to improve the plugin.
-
We often roll out new features through beta to ensure stability and usability before public launch.
This option is ideal for users who want to stay ahead, contribute to development, or simply try out the newest functionality early.
🖥️ 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 #
If you’re facing any issues and need to contact our support team:
-
Go to the System Status section in the plugin.
-
Click the “Copy system info to clipboard” button at the top.
