Settings and Site Health
Choose whether drafts are scanned, turn the Site Health check and the Elementor panel on or off, and read the Site Health result.
Settings
Go to Settings → Pruneline. The page has three checkboxes under Scanning, all ticked by default:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Drafts: Also scan drafts, pending and scheduled posts | Drafts are what goes live next, so a missing block in a draft is worth knowing about. Untick it to scan only published and private content. Takes effect from the next scan. |
| Site Health: Report scheduled events left by inactive or deleted plugins in Site Health | Adds the check described below. |
| Elementor editor: List the page's shortcodes in the Elementor editor, and whether each one works | Shows the Elementor editor panel. |
Click Save Changes.
Note
With drafts left out, a template or pattern used only in a draft shows "No reference found". Keep drafts ticked before you trash templates.
Tip
Tools → Pruneline has a Settings button next to its title, and the Plugins screen has a Settings link under Pruneline.The Site Health check
When a plugin is switched off or deleted, the events it scheduled stay. WordPress keeps trying to run them, and nothing answers. Pruneline adds a check for that to Tools → Site Health, under the Performance label.
- No scheduled events are left from inactive plugins: all is well.
- Inactive plugins left scheduled events behind: a recommendation that lists each event with the plugin that left it, and a Review them in Pruneline link to the scheduled events on the Leftover data tab, where you can export and delete them.
The check counts WP-Cron events and pending Action Scheduler actions that Pruneline has traced to an inactive or deleted plugin. Events it can't trace aren't reported here, but they're listed under Unknown owner on the Leftover data tab. Run a scan first: Pruneline traces events from the plugins' code it has read.
