# Configuration

This page describes every option on **WooCommerce → Settings → Site Visibility Manager**. Use it after Coming Soon is enabled (see [Getting started](https://storecrafted.com/document/site-visibility-manager-for-woocommerce/getting-started/)).

**Permissions:** Only users with `manage_woocommerce` can open the screen or save settings.

**Option key:** `storecrafted_site_visibility_manager_settings` (single WordPress option; autoload off on write).

## Status panel

At the top of the settings screen, the plugin shows WooCommerce Site Visibility state:

StatusMeaning**Coming soon** / **Live**Whether Woo Coming Soon is active**Entire site** / **Store pages only**Woo’s “Apply to store pages only” modeLinksShortcuts to **Site Visibility settings** and **Edit Coming Soon template** (block themes)

**What to expect:** If the site is **Live**, settings save but do not affect the front end until Coming Soon is on. If **Store pages only** is on, non-store URLs are already public in Woo — blog presets are largely redundant in that mode.

## Public sections

Toggle presets for common WordPress and WooCommerce surfaces. Enabling a section opens those URLs while Coming Soon stays on everywhere else.

**Use for:** Typical pre-launch — enable **Homepage**, **Blog index**, and **Blog posts**; leave shop, products, cart, checkout, and account off.

**Cart / Checkout / Account:** Each preset opens that WooCommerce page **and** its related endpoints.

**Products:** Product catalog access is only via **Shop**, **Products**, and **Product taxonomies**. Products are never listed under public post types.

## Public pages

Search and select exact pages to keep public.

- Only the chosen page IDs are opened.
- Child pages are **not** opened automatically.
- Non-published IDs are ignored at evaluation time.

## Public posts

Search and select exact posts when **Blog posts** is too broad (for example a single announcement post).

## Public post types

Enable other registered **public** post types. Enabling a type opens:

- Singular views
- The type’s archive
- Built-in taxonomies for that type

**Not supported:**

- `product` (use the commerce presets above)
- `attachment`

## Public taxonomies

Enable additional public taxonomy archives beyond the blog and product taxonomy presets.

## Data

Setting labelOption key (inside settings array)Default**Delete plugin settings on uninstall**`delete_data_on_uninstall`Off (`false`)

When off (default), uninstalling the plugin leaves the option in the database so you can reinstall without losing the allowlist. When on, uninstall deletes `storecrafted_site_visibility_manager_settings`.
