    Hi there,

    Great plugin. Can you tell me if when you deactivate the plugin it removes 100% the changes that have been made via the plugin and effectivly returns the website pages to how they were before the plugin was installed?

    Thanks

    @dav74, absolutely, it will be like you didn’t have the plugin active in the first place. Any WordPress plugin in the world should be like that. The changes remain in the “postmeta” and “options” tables, but they’re inactive as the (inactive) plugin is not triggering them. There’s no option yet to delete all database traces left by the plugin, you need to do it manually via phpMyAdmin or a similar tool, but usually, there aren’t many entries and should not affect the functionality or speed of your website.

    Many thanks Gabe for your reply and explaining that for me. That completely answered my question.

    Your plugin is excellent. There is one peice of feedback which I thought of which would make things a bit user friendly for myself (and maybe others). It would be good if the plugin page options (backend) were hidden when you scroll down to the bottom the page, and only loaded if you click on a button etc.

    Once you have setup your site and disabled the necessary scripts from pages, it would be nice not to have to see all the script details (generated by your plugin) each time you scroll to the bottom of the page. Some way to hide this (without unpublishing) would be great. Food for thought ??

    Thanks again
