Frequently Asked Questions
Is this plugin safe for my database?
Yes, absolutely. Before modifying anything in the database, the plugin encourages running a Dry Run. In addition, when executing a database purge, we use native WordPress API wrappers which trigger your database to create standard post revisions, meaning you can roll back changes with a single click in your WP Admin.
How does dynamic suppression work?
Dynamic suppression intercepts the content rendering hook (the_content) right before the page is served to the visitor. It automatically searches for and strips unregistered tags so the page looks perfectly clean, without actually modifying your underlying post database records.
What happens when my license expires?
To prevent any unexpected frontend layout breakage, the core shortcode suppression and database cleaner will continue to function on your site. However, you will no longer receive automatic plugin updates, compatibility patches for new WordPress core versions, or access to our customer support desk. To keep your site secure and stable, we highly recommend keeping your subscription active.
