<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>

<h2>Who needs <strong>Attribute Stock Manager for WooCommerce?</strong></h2>
<p>If you sell product variations with shared elements, parts, or ingredients (attributes) you will benefit from simultaneously tracking the inventory of products and their attributes.</p>
<p>For example, a t-shirt seller who prints various designs on plain t-shirts needs to know how many plain t-shirts they have in inventory. Their stock of plain t-shirts decreases as they print and fulfill customers’ orders for printed designs.</p>
<p>The seller needs to track sales of the variations (assorted printed designs) and the plain t-shirts that designs are printed on (attributes).</p>
<p><strong>Attribute Stock Manager for WooCommerce</strong> gives sellers the ability to track the stock of products and their related attributes.</p>
<h2><strong>Benefits</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Better inventory management</strong></p>
<p>You can easily manage the inventory of products and variations that require inventory sharing.</p>
<p><strong>Increase purchases and prevent backorders and out-of-stock issues</strong></p>
<p>Generally, when a product or variant is out of stock in a particular size, the user will wait until that exact item is available again to purchase. When inventory syncs between products, the users can see what else is available and purchase from all available products associated with the global inventory.</p>
<h2><strong>How does it work?</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Stock sharing across variations</strong></h3>
<p>Once admins configure stocks and attribute stocks, the extension will be ready for use. All the variations associated with the attribute will share the same global inventory.</p>
<p><strong>For example</strong></p>
<p>You sell ground coffee and fill your coffee-powder orders from the same central supply of coffee powder (the attribute). With each order of any size, you diminish the total supply of coffee powder.</p>
<figure id="attachment_18734000011515" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18734000011515" style="width: 896px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-18734000011515 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/attribute-stock-configuration.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="504" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18734000011515" class="wp-caption-text"><strong>Product Configuration</strong></figcaption></figure>
<p>When a variant is purchased (for example, 250 grams of coffee), the purchased inventory updates the attribute inventory. Customers see the change across all the variations that share the inventory.</p>
<figure id="attachment_18734000011517" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18734000011517" style="width: 896px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-18734000011517 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/attribute-stock-variable-pdt.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="504" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18734000011517" class="wp-caption-text"><strong>Shared Inventory on Variable Product</strong></figcaption></figure>
<h3><strong>Stock sharing across products</strong></h3>
<p>Once admins configure the stocks and attribute stocks, the extension is ready to use. All the products associated with the attribute will share the same global inventory.</p>
<p>With each product purchase, the stock will update the attribute inventory. The change will also reflect across all products sharing the inventory.</p>
<figure id="attachment_18734000011523" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18734000011523" style="width: 896px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-18734000011523 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/attribute-stock-simple-pdt1.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="504" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18734000011523" class="wp-caption-text"><strong>Shared Inventory on Simple Product 1<br /></strong></figcaption></figure>
<p>If a user tries to purchase products beyond the available inventory, <strong>Attribute Stock Manager</strong> will prevent them from over-purchasing and show them the quantity available.</p>
<figure id="attachment_18734000011516" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18734000011516" style="width: 896px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-18734000011516 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/attribute-stock-simple-pdt2.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="504" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18734000011516" class="wp-caption-text"><strong>Shared Inventory on Simple Product 2</strong></figcaption></figure>
<p><strong>Attribute Stock Manager</strong> for WooCommerce prevents overselling and encourages customers to purchase available inventory instead of waiting for an out-of-stock product.</p>
<p>By tracking attribute inventory, <strong>Attribute Stock Manager</strong> relieves stress on store owners and increases customer satisfaction.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>Minimum PHP version: 5.6</p>
