This plugin secures sensitive data on development, staging, and local sites. It deletes users and WooCommerce orders and subscriptions, as well as prevents sites from acting on user data.
What does it do?
Here are the core features of Safety Net:
- Stop Emails: When Safety Net is activated, WordPress will be blocked from sending emails. (Caution: may not block SMTP or other plugins from doing so).
- Pause Renewal Actions: When Safety Net is activated, Action Scheduler will not claim renewal actions or payment retry actions from WooCommerce Subscriptions, effectively pausing them. Other scheduled actions will continue to run. This is toggleable in wp-admin.
- Discourage Search Engines: Sets the “Discourage search engines” option and disallows all user agents in the
robots.txtfile. Also disables Jetpack ‘publicize’ option. - Scrub Options: Clears specific denylisted options, such as API keys, which could cause problems on a development site.
- Deactivate Plugins: Deactivates denylisted plugins. Also, runs through installed Woo payment gateways and deactivates them as well (deactivates the actual plugin, not from the checkout settings).
- Delete: Deletes all non-admin users, WooCommerce orders and subscriptions.
