A Guide to the “Enable Advanced Tools” Option in [Plugin Name]
The Enable Advanced Tools feature in our dropshipping plugins unlocks several powerful tools designed for advanced users and specific troubleshooting scenarios. However, these tools come with risks, such as consuming significant server resources or disrupting synchronization. This article provides an overview of each tool and when it should be used.
Where to Find the “Enable Advanced Tools” Option
Log in to your WordPress backend.
Navigate to the [Plugin Name] section in the dashboard.
Go to the Dashboard tab.
Locate the “Enable Advanced Tools” option and toggle it on.
Available Advanced Tools
1. Woosa IP List
If your shop has inbound request restrictions, whitelist the following IPs to ensure proper plugin functionality:
IPv4: 104.21.4.191, 167.71.15.235, 159.65.206.200, 178.128.247.169, 167.99.37.121, 167.99.32.180
IPv6: 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::1445:7001, 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::f3:9001, 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::df8:d001, 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::14c6:e001, 2a03:b0c0:2:d0::81e:3001
2. Allow Long-Running Requests
If the plugin struggles to process the action list due to server timeouts, enable this setting. It modifies your .htaccess file to include the following directives:
RewriteRule .* - [E=noabort:1]
RewriteRule .* - [E=noconntimeout:1]
These directives prevent the server from aborting long-running scripts.
Warning: Verify with your hosting provider that these directives are supported before enabling.
3. Clear Cache
This tool clears the entire plugin cache, refreshing all plugin processes.
When to use: If you suspect the plugin is working with outdated data or facing performance issues.
4. Clear Feed Cache
This tool clears the cache of the supplier feed and forces the plugin to reprocess all products based on selected categories.
Warning: This action can slow down your shop and consume server resources. Use it only when necessary, such as when the feed data appears incorrect or outdated.
5. Request Stock & Price Update
This tool fetches the latest stock and price data for all products in the selected categories.
Note: Updates can take up to 1 hour to complete.
Warning: Frequent use of this tool can impact server performance. Use sparingly.
6. Delete Imported Products
Completely removes all imported products from your shop. During this process, synchronization will be paused.
Warning: Deletion time depends on the number of products. Use only if you’re certain you want to remove all imported products.
A Word of Caution
The Enable Advanced Tools option is intended for users with advanced knowledge of the plugin’s functionality. Misusing these tools can:
Interrupt synchronization.
Affect product imports.
Slow down your shop or consume excessive server resources.
