<hr />
<h3>Security settings</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Disable Plugin File Editor and Theme File Editor</strong> – This feature allows you to disable the Plugin and Theme File Editors in your WordPress admin. This can help to improve security by preventing unauthorized access to your site’s files.</li>
<li><strong>Deny access to certain files</strong> such as SQL, ZIP, and BAK – a particularly important security setting, which normally requires editing the .htaccess file.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Settings for posts and pages</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Revisions</strong> – Specify whether to keep revisions of posts and pages, and how many,</li>
<li><strong>Auto-date</strong> – Automatically update the date when saving posts, pages and products,</li>
<li><strong>Page excerpts</strong> – Enable the Excerpt metabox for Pages, which is hidden by default.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Geolocation simulation/spoofing</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Overwrite IP/Country</strong> – With these features, you can enter a specific country code or IP address to overwrite the geolocated information. This is useful for testing purposes when you want to simulate a different location for your website.</li>
</ul>
<h3>WooCommerce store tweaks</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hide Related Products on Single Product pages</strong> – This can be useful if you want to streamline the product page and remove distractions for your customers.</li>
<li><strong>Hide breadcrumbs</strong> – Check if you need them. Breadcrumbs may not be necessary to help users understand their location within the site, or they do not fit with the overall look and feel of the site.</li>
<li><strong>Hide ×1</strong> – When quantity is 1, do not show ×1 on Checkout and Order Review pages.</li>
<li><strong>Enable Block Editor for products</strong> – Use the Gutenberg block editor for product descriptions instead of the classic editor.</li>
<li><strong>Disable product image zoom</strong> – Turn off the magnifying glass zoom effect on Single Product pages. Also prevents loading the related JS and CSS, improving page performance and Google PageSpeed score.</li>
<li><strong>Disable product gallery lightbox</strong> – Prevent product images from opening in a lightbox overlay. Also prevents loading the related JS and CSS.</li>
<li><strong>Disable product gallery slider</strong> – Turn off the image slider/carousel on product galleries. Also prevents loading the related JS and CSS.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Email settings</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Custom “From” name and address</strong> – Override the default sender name and email address for all outgoing WordPress emails.</li>
<li><strong>SMTP configuration</strong> – Send emails through an external SMTP server instead of the default PHP mail function, with configurable host, port, authentication, encryption, and SSL verification settings.</li>
<li><strong>Email Tester</strong> – Send a test email directly from the settings page to verify that your email configuration is working correctly.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Performance</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Enable browser cache</strong> – This is an important setting that can help to improve the performance of a website. By setting a “cache max-age” parameter, web browsers will request a new version of the page less frequently, which can reduce the load on the server and improve the speed at which pages are displayed to users.</li>
</ul>
<h3>PHP and Apache settings</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>PHP settings via .htaccess</strong> – Configure PHP time limit, max input vars, memory limit, post max size, and upload max size directly from the admin panel, without editing server configuration files.</li>
<li><strong>Apache Hardening</strong> – Deny access to sensitive file types (SQL, ZIP, BAK, etc.) and enable additional server-level security rules.</li>
<li><strong>ModExpires</strong> – Set browser cache expiration headers for static assets to improve page load times.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>WooCommerce Subscriptions</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Set Subscriptions Staging Mode</strong> – This feature allows you to set Subscriptions into the Staging/Duplicate Site mode. This can be useful for testing out new subscription products or for a staging site for your WooCommerce store.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Development and debugging</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Show protected metas</strong> – Allows you to see and edit metadata that is normally hidden in the Custom Fields section of the WordPress editor when editing Products, Posts, and Pages. This can be useful for developers who need to access this information for debugging or customization purposes.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://woocommerce.com/document/admin-tools-for-woocommerce/disable-heartbeats/">Disable heartbeats</a></strong> – Heartbeats are a feature that enables real-time communication between the server and the browser of a logged-in user through regular “heartbeat” requests. These requests allow for features like auto-saving, post locking, and login expiration warnings. If the Heartbeat API is causing problems while you are debugging your site, disable it here.</li>
<li><strong>Disable cron</strong> – In WordPress, the “cron” is a built-in task scheduler that is used to perform routine tasks such as checking for updates, publishing scheduled posts, and sending email notifications. You may want to disable it on a development/local version of your site.</li>
<li><strong>Enable Data Inspector</strong> – This will show internal data for posts, pages, products, and orders as it is stored in the WordPress database tables.</li>
<li><strong>Enable Fake Payments</strong> – The Fake Payment gateway can be activated at checkout for testing or development purposes. When enabled, it will simulate the processing of an order without actually charging the customer. Supports both classic checkout and WooCommerce Blocks.</li>
<li><strong>Override “To:” for all emails</strong> – Route all outgoing emails to a specified address for testing.</li>
<li><strong>Bcc: for all emails</strong> – Send a blind copy of all outgoing emails to a specified address.</li>
</ul>

Admin Tools

<p>A set of utilities for WooCommerce store owners, administrators, and developers to secure, tune, and debug their stores.</p>

<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Header-Admin-Custom-Order-Fields-updated.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7221160 aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Header-Admin-Custom-Order-Fields-updated.png?w=620" alt="Store custom information for order in your WooCommerce admin" width="620" height="215" /></a></p>
<h2>Use Admin Custom Order Fields to Streamline Order Processing and Details</h2>
<p>Do you find yourself putting a lot of information in your “Order Notes” or using outside software, such as Excel, to keep track of order details? Say goodbye to all of the hassle of keeping track of order information in a million different places! The <strong>Admin Custom Order Fields extension</strong> will allow your team to use WooCommerce as a complete Customer Relationship Management system so order information is centralized where the orders actually happen — right within your WooCommerce dashboard.</p>
<p>All order details, notes, fields, and information addition can be streamlined right within the order itself, allowing you to <strong>standardize order details</strong>, keep all order information <strong>in WooCommerce</strong> and not scattered across multiple systems, and <strong>sort or filter orders</strong> based on your custom order information. Keep all of your order details where they belong: tied to the original order!</p>
<figure id="attachment_155915" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-155915" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/woocommerce-admin-custom-order-fields-create-field.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-155915" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/woocommerce-admin-custom-order-fields-create-field.png?w=550" alt="WooCommerce Admin Custom Order Fields add a field" width="550" height="152" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-155915" class="wp-caption-text">Creating an Admin Order Field</figcaption></figure>
<p>Let’s say that you’re using WooCommerce to book helicopter tours, and you need a way to assign times, pilots, or other details to an order. <strong>Admin Custom Order Fields</strong> allows you to add these details from the Orders Dashboard, and even optionally display them to the customer on the “My Orders” page.</p>
<p>Using WooCommerce to sell other services? You can add dates for coaching sessions, assign multiple case managers to a consulting account, or manage any other order details you wish. Stop jotting down everything in the order notes and start to organize and compartmentalize with Admin Custom Order Fields!</p>
<h3>What Can Admin Custom Order Fields Do?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create order details to add/edit from the admin Orders Dashboard</li>
<li>Centralize order details that can easily be edited by all team members</li>
<li>Sort or filter orders displayed based on your custom order fields</li>
<li>Optionally display order fields/details to customers</li>
<li>Eliminate the need for spreadsheets or other external systems to manage order notes/details</li>
<li>Streamline your CRM system by centralizing everything in WooCommerce</li>
</ul>
<h3>Make Your Order Management Efficient</h3>
<p>If you’ve been using order notes to add order details, or even worse, been using an outside system to track order details, you know that it’s a pain to keep all of this information updated, <em>especially</em> if it needs to be shared between team members (don’t worry, we know how it’s tough to use Google Docs for all of this!).</p>
<p>Adding all of these details as order fields will simplify record-keeping so that all details are managed right within WooCommerce and visible to all team members. By default, all admin order fields are <strong>hidden from customers</strong>. Even better, you can <strong>sort or filter orders based on these fields</strong>.</p>

<h3>Optionally Display Order Fields to Customers</h3>
<p>Need to assign customers to a trip or tour group after their order has been placed? Want to let them know who their tour guide or pilot will be? Doing so is easy with Admin Custom Order Fields. Set the order field attribute to “Show in My Orders/Email”, and customers will be able to view that field with the rest of their order details.</p>
