Data Management #
Control how long logs are kept and what happens to data when you uninstall.
Log Retention #
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Log retention days | 90 | Delete update check logs and download logs older than this many days |
The daily log cleanup job deletes records from:
wp_dmsilm_us_update_checks(update check requests)wp_dmsilm_us_update_downloads(download events)wp_dmsilm_us_email_queue(completed/failed emails)
Stale version tracking records (no check-in for 180 days) are also removed.
Increase this to keep longer audit history. Logs grow proportionally to your update check volume.
Decrease this if the log tables are growing very large and storage is a concern.
Uninstall Behavior #
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Delete all data on uninstall | Unchecked | Remove all Update Server data when the plugin is deleted |
If unchecked (default): Deactivating or deleting the plugin preserves all data. Reinstalling later recovers full history.
If checked: Deleting the plugin from WordPress permanently removes all 5 extension database tables and all stored options. This cannot be undone.
Recommendation: Leave unchecked unless you are permanently removing the extension and want a clean uninstall.
