Danger zone

Destructive ACPT settings

These options can permanently delete posts, metadata, or entire ACPT definitions with no way to recover them. Enable them only if you're certain you want that behavior.

Enable these options only if you are sure. All of them are off by default.

Setting	Default	Description
Delete ACPT definitions when deactivating the plug-in	Off	If enabled, deactivating the plugin deletes all saved ACPT definitions (post types, taxonomies, option pages, meta fields, forms, and so on). If disabled, deactivating and reactivating the plugin preserves everything you built.
Delete posts when deleting an ACPT post definition	Off	If enabled, deleting a custom post type definition also deletes every post created under that post type. If disabled, the posts are kept (orphaned) after the definition is removed.
Delete metadata when deleting an ACPT field	Off	If enabled, deleting a meta field also deletes the post meta values stored under that field across all posts. If disabled, the metadata remains in the database even after the field is removed.
