FAQ

IMPORTANT

This plugin operates on your database, so we strongly recommend to create the backup before you go. Please note that we cannot be responsible for any mistakes in the results of the operations made by this plugin, for example, errors made when entering wrong values or DB problems after orders removal.

Why should I use that?

This plugin removes orders from WooCommerce older than the chosen number of days. So if you want to remove old data, which you (your customers or IRS) don’t need anymore just use that plugin!

How could I start?

After the activation plugin will be still turned off, to avoid any unauthorized actions. The plugin will start to work after you save your settings.

How it works?

This plugin creates a periodical task (WP Cron job), which uses a series of database queries to remove orders and optimize your database. This job will be launched at 2:00 am (timezone of your WordPress). Please note that WP Cron launch only when you have a visit on your site, so the exact time could be different. You can always run an additional task on your server cron to force the execution of WP Cron.

My database is quite big, should I do anything?

If your database has a lot of orders, please start with the smaller amount of data to check if your server specification allows completing cleaning without any performance issues. We recommend splitting the first cleaning into a few parts. Next, recurring operations launched via the periodical task should be completed without any problems.
