    When I uninstall this plugin. And check that it left many database, cron, files. How to remove all this data belongs to “Product Feed PRO”? This is the first time I found a popular plugin which doesnt do that during uninstall.

  • Hi,

    We did so on purpose as in the past it happened that users removed or disabled the plugin not realising it would effect their paid marketing campaigns as all of a sudden their feeds were gone.

    You can still get rid of the database entries and other settings by going to the “Manage feeds” section of our plugin and add &force-clean=true to the URL so it would become something like this:
    ../wp-admin/admin.php?page=woosea_manage_feed&force-clean=true

    Hope this helps?

    Its very easy to fix this.

    I think from UX perspective, what you are doing now is not a very good. The more common way is to add checkbox in the setting such as:

    “Delete all settings during uninstall. Warning: This will also effect your paid marketing campaigns as all all your feeds will be removed. So make sure to pause or stopped all campaigns which using feeds from this plugin”

    By doing this. Its a win, win solution.

    Yes, agreed that would be the better way assuming every one reads the settings and texts ??

    We’ll add a task on our developers to-do list to solve this differently.

    Yes, that’s why we need to turn it off by default.
