Uninstalling the Plugin

Deactivation vs Uninstallation #

Deactivation #

Deactivating the plugin stops all sync operations and removes the admin menu, but preserves all data (settings, field mappings, sync logs, custom database tables).

Uninstallation #

Deleting the plugin via the WordPress Plugins page runs the uninstall routine, which removes:

  • Plugin options and settings.
  • Custom database tables (ghl_sync_queue, ghl_sync_log, ghl_family_relationships, ghl_reporting_events).
  • Transients and cached data.
  • Scheduled actions.

What Is NOT Removed #

  • GHL contact data — your contacts remain in GoHighLevel.
  • WordPress users — user accounts are not deleted.
  • User meta — GHL-related user meta fields remain (contact IDs, tag caches).

To fully clean up user meta, you’d need to run a custom database query to remove meta keys starting with _ghl_.
