FAQ
-
Does this plugin automatically delete products?
-
No, the plugin is designed as a safe review tool. Nothing is removed automatically: you review each duplicate group and choose which products to move to Trash after confirming the action. Trashed products can be restored from the WordPress Trash at any time.
-
Does this plugin permanently delete anything?
-
No. The plugin only moves selected products to the WordPress Trash. Permanent deletion is never performed by this plugin; that remains a manual action in WordPress itself.
-
Does this plugin require an external API?
-
No. The plugin runs entirely inside your WordPress site and does not require any external API, account, or license key.
-
Can I scan trashed products?
-
Yes, you can enable inclusion of trashed products in the scan scope settings.
-
What if WooCommerce is not active?
-
The plugin will show an admin notice and disable scan and resolution features until WooCommerce is activated.
-
Where is my data stored?
-
Scan results are stored in dedicated custom tables inside your own WordPress database (
wp_skusn_scans,wp_skusn_groups,wp_skusn_items). No data is sent off your server.
