Advanced

The Advanced tab holds the settings you reach for less often – how ListoWP runs scheduled work, whether it writes a debug log, and which WordPress user roles can use it at all.

WordPress cron

By default ListoWP schedules its background work through WP-Cron, the same system WordPress uses. WP-Cron only fires when your site gets traffic, so on quiet sites scheduled work can run late.

Turn off the "WordPress cron" toggle to stop ListoWP relying on WP-Cron. With it off, ListoWP self-heals its own schedules and runs an hourly data-consistency cleanup so nothing is left half-finished. You can pair this with a real system cron on your server for timing that does not depend on visitor traffic.

Debug log

The "Debug log" toggle turns on extra logging for ListoWP. Leave it off for normal running, and switch it on only while you are chasing a problem or working with support. Turn it back off once you are done.

Limit Access

The "Limit Access" box restricts ListoWP to the WordPress user roles you choose. Only members of the selected roles can open and use the app; everyone else has no access. Use this when ListoWP is meant for a specific group – your team, editors, or a membership tier – rather than every registered user on the site.

The "Privacy" box on this tab also carries a "Bulk export & delete (GDPR)" toggle. When it is on, your site’s users can bulk export and delete their own Lists and Tasks from the front end.
