    Hi.

    First of all great plugin.

    A quick question, where does this plugin stores all the data. I noticed the size of my website’s database has increased exponentially in last few weeks, and I also installed this plugin within this time period. So I’m wondering if sucuri is adding data to the database table which in turn increased the size.

    If/when I delete the plugin, it will automatically delete the plugin tables from database, right?

    Thanks,
    Farhan

    Most of the data is stored in plain text files here [1] the database is used simply to keep the settings, they can be located in the “wp_options” table with the prefix “sucuriscan”. If you initiate the deactivation process the plugin will delete these options [2] from the database as well as the plain text files from that directory.

    Alternatively, in the next version of the plugin (that we will release soon) we have deleted all references to the database, the new code will not write into the database anymore, it will store everything in that folder mentioned above in plain text files. If you want, you can install the development version of the code [3] to get the new plugin working in your website before we release the new version publicly.
