Note: This documentation applies to both the Free and Pro versions of FundCollector. To install and use the Pro version, you must first install and activate the Free version, which should not be uninstalled. The sections relating to the Pro version are marked with PRO.

Advanced Settings

Go to FundCollector → Settings and open the Advanced tab. This area is for options that affect logging on the server and what happens when the plugin is removed. Use it when you need to reduce disk writes or when you explicitly want FundCollector to clean up all its data on uninstall.

Logging settings

FundCollector can write diagnostic logs (PHP and JavaScript) to help troubleshoot issues. In normal operation you usually leave logging enabled so support or developers can inspect problems if something goes wrong.

• Disable FundCollector logs — When this is checked, FundCollector stops writing PHP and JavaScript logs on the server. Note: Disabling logs does not fix underlying errors; it only stops recording them. Enable this only if you have a clear reason (for example, strict hosting policies or you are sure you do not need file-based logs).

Uninstallation settings

This option controls whether FundCollector removes all of its own data when you uninstall the plugin from WordPress (not when you merely deactivate it).

• Delete plugin data on uninstall: If checked, uninstalling the plugin will permanently delete plugin-related data such as donations, forms, settings, and related records. This operation is irreversible! Recommendation: Leave this unchecked unless you are deliberately wiping the site of FundCollector data (for example, before removing the plugin forever on a test install). For production sites, keep it off so an accidental uninstall does not erase your donation history.

After changing any option, click Save changes at the bottom of the settings screen (same as for other FundCollector tabs).
