I want to know that where the plugins settings data saved in server? Means, when we change any plugin settings (e.g. For simple captcha, it is settings as-> use number, user alpha, captcha color etc), then in which file or database , these settings are saved.
The text, metadata, and settings are stored in the WordPress database. Static files like images, JS, CSS used by the plugin are stored in the plugins directory. The users' files uploaded when working with the plugin are stored in the plugin-specific folder inside the wp-content/uploads directory.
WordPress requirements for Privacy Policies The WordPress developer itself doesn't collect and use personal data, but rather the website owner collects and uses personal data through the installed plugin.
All settings of the Plugin will be saved in the db.
Your Plugin can choose which table they wanted to store the setting into. Check the source code of your Plugin.
get_options()
, then it will stored in the wp_options
tableget_post_meta()
, then it will be stored in the wp_postmeta
tableget_comment_meta()
, then it will be stored in the wp_commentmeta
tableYour Plugin might also have created its own table to store the settings.
Inside WordPress database you will look a table like 'wp_options'. During wp install ,If you use your table prefix 'xyz'. Inside database your table name will 'xyz_options'. If you use WP Setting API and options.php, your plugin data will save in this table.
<?php
$data= $GLOBALS['wpdb']->get_results( 'SELECT * FROM xyz_options', OBJECT );
echo '<pre>';
print_r($data);
echo '</pre>';
?>
