Common questions about Demo Reset – Robust Demo Website Automation
To put the website into FROZEN state (Demo Mode), please add at least one Reset Point.

On the Demo Reset Settings page, under Auto Reset Settings, select a Reset Point as the Active Reset Point from the dropdown and save your changes. Note: This is the Reset Point to which the website will reset via Reset Runners.
Before generating Reset Runners for Reset execution, please ensure the Active Reset Point is set. The Active Reset Point is the Reset Point to which the website will be reset.

The Reset Runner URL will be generated. Test the Reset Runner URL by entering it into your browser. Upon success, the page will display the success message.

Note: The Reset Runner URL should always be kept secret.

Note: The Reset will log out all users from the website if successful, unless the Pro plugin is used. Important: Triggering the Reset Runner URL with Unix Cron through cPanel is the best trigger option with consistent trigger intervals.

Both URL-based Reset Runner systems are available in the Free Plugin version and Pro version. Therefore, we strongly advise you to use the Free version to determine which Reset Runner system and external trigger source works best for your WordPress website. Different websites have different internal and external setups, firewalls, and CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) that may block external triggers.
WordPress cron is a pseudo-cron system that triggers when a page is loaded. Therefore, it is unreliable for triggering a robust (consistent) Website Reset Process without running into numerous issues. For this reason, the trigger must come from outside the WordPress system. Demo Reset provides highly secure reset trigger mechanisms via Reset Runners to address this problem.
Yes, they are created with a unique randomly generated 15-character token, making them highly secure. Once created, a Reset Runner should always be kept confidential.
Caching plugins prevent the proper execution of URL-based Reset Runners, so you must turn off caching on your demo website or disable the caching plugin. Also, be aware of server-level caching mechanisms; if they prevent Reset Runners from executing, please disable them. Based on our current testing, CDN caching (Cloudflare caching) does not block Reset Runners unless restricted by CDN firewalls.
