The Advanced tab at DocuMerge โ†’ Settings โ†’ Advanced is for maintenance and developer options. You usually don’t need to touch these.

Storage & cleanup

  • Auto-delete documents after (days) โ€” if set, generated documents are automatically removed from disk after this many days. Default: 0 (never auto-delete).
  • Keep error logs for (days) โ€” plugin error logs are purged after this many days. Default: 30.
  • Run temp file cleanup now โ€” deletes any temporary files left over from partial PDF generations.

Debug logging

  • Enable debug logging โ€” writes plugin-specific debug output to /wp-content/uploads/wprobo-documerge-lite/logs/. Only works when WP_DEBUG is true in wp-config.php. Enable when troubleshooting; disable when done to reduce disk writes.

Setup wizard

  • Re-run setup wizard โ€” restarts the four-step wizard from the beginning. Existing data is not affected.

Data management

  • Delete all plugin data on uninstall โ€” if checked, removing the plugin also drops its database tables, deletes all submissions, and removes the upload directory. Leave unchecked if you might reinstall.

Factory reset

  • Reset plugin to factory defaults โ€” clears all settings, templates, forms, and submissions. This is permanent. Use only when preparing to remove the plugin entirely or starting over after a test run.
