Doesn’t work as expected and identifies used options as unused

    Doesn’t work as expected and identifies numerous used options as being unused, resulting in potential unintended data loss/destruction.

    On initial install and when resetting data, it suggests wp_user_roles is unused. Deleting this option will make a site inaccessible to administrators as this is an imperative option for user roles.

    While testing, there are also JS errors for the “remove autoload” and “delete” actions. This happens when attempting to delete:

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'nTr')

        at l (jquery.min.js:2:77782)

    The options appear to still be deleted, but the table doesn’t update.

    Hey @mtg169,

    Thanks for your review.
    We’re aware of the JS issue and will release an update to the plugin soon which resolves this bug.

    As to seeing wp_user_roles int he list of unused options, that can indeed happen if you haven’t browsed the site (backend and frontend) at all before reviewing the options. And you’re right that removing those (or some of the other default WP options) can have a negative effect on your site, or flatout break it. Therefore, we’ll look into how we can improve this.

    As said, it’s important that you use the site, after installing this plugin, before reviewing the options. That way the plugin can better analyse which options are in active use. Ideally, you’ve touched all pages and features on both the front- and backend before reviewing the options.

    Do you want me to ping you here when we’ve released the update that fixes the JS bug?
