Exclude Settings from Exports
The GiveWP Export feature allows you to export GiveWP Core and add-on settings. But some add-ons like payment gateways have sensitive information which you may not want to expose in an export. This can be done using a filter called give_settings_export_excludes.
For example, if you want to exclude your Stripe Plaid credentials from exporting, you can add the following custom snippet to your website.
Exclude Stripe Plaid credentials from Settings Export
function give_exclude_exporting() {
// Stripe Plaid Details
$excludes['plaid_client_id'] = 'Plaid Client ID';
$excludes['plaid_public_key'] = 'Plaid Public Key';
$excludes['plaid_secret_key'] = 'Plaid Secret Key';
return $excludes;
};
add_filter( 'give_settings_export_excludes', 'give_exclude_exporting' );If you need assistance in adding a custom snippet to your website, refer to our detailed tutorial.
Once that function is in place, you will see the following checkboxes in your Export GiveWP Settings:
Now when you click the “Export JSON” button, it exports all the GiveWP settings but excludes the Stripe Plaid settings that you’ve checked.
There are many more options as well. You can extend the function to exclude Paypal Pro settings, the Mailchimp API, your GiveWP add-ons license keys and more. The below snippet is a good starting example.
