### [The Direct Cron Token System Released: (Advanced Runner Option)](https://ministryofplugins.com/the-direct-cron-token-system-released-advanced-runner-option/)

- Published: 2026-01-08
- Modified: 2026-02-25
- Category: Demo Reset Pro News

We’re excited to announce the release of Demo Reset Direct Cron V1, a new addon plugin for Demo Reset Pro that introduces the Direct Cron Token system—an advanced “Reset Runner” option built for reliability in restrictive hosting environments. If you have experienced cases where the Reset Runner URL or Reset Runner REST URL methods do not run consistently (due to firewalls, security plugins, CDN protections, or hosting-level request filtering), Direct Cron Token provides a server-level alternative designed to reduce those interference points. What is the Direct Cron Token System? The Direct Cron Token system triggers the Demo Reset Reset Process using your server’s Unix Cron by calling a PHP file directly. Because it runs at the server level (instead of relying on normal web requests), it is typically more resilient in environments where automated URL calls are blocked, rate-limited, or disrupted. This makes it an excellent option for advanced setups where standard URL-based automation cannot be trusted to run reliably. Key Highlights Alternative trigger method when URL-based reset systems are blocked or disrupted Uses Unix Cron to call a PHP file directly at the server level Typically experiences minimal disruption from: Server-side firewalls Security plugins / firewall plugins CDN security protections and request filtering Hosting rules that rate-limit or block automated requests When should you use Direct Cron V1? Direct Cron Token is particularly useful if: Your hosting environment is highly secured or restrictive Automated URL-based triggers work intermittently or fail without clear reason Your site runs behind aggressive CDN security or bot protection You want a reset trigger mechanism that is less dependent on HTTP request flow Requirements and Setup Notes To use Direct Cron V1, your hosting environment must be: A Unix-like operating system (commonly Linux-based hosting) You may also need basic familiarity with: cPanel (or your host’s cron interface) Unix Cron (Cron Jobs) File Manager and/or FTP (depending on your setup) If you follow the step-by-step guide, the setup process is straightforward. The documentation and examples are primarily aligned with cPanel-based hosting environments, which covers the majority of typical shared and VPS hosting providers. Documentation and Download All documentation, setup steps, and the download link are available here: https://ministryofplugins.com/mop_harticle/direct-cron-token-the-advanced-option-pro-plugin-only/ We recommend using that page as your single source of truth for installation, configuration, and troubleshooting. Summary Demo Reset Direct Cron V1 adds a robust, server-level reset trigger option for Demo Reset Pro users who need maximum reliability in environments where URL-based runners are not dependable. If your reset automation has been affected by security layers or restrictive hosting rules, Direct Cron Token is the advanced option designed for that exact situation.

### [Demo Reset Pro Update: New UI for Demo Admin Access Control](https://ministryofplugins.com/demo-reset-pro-update-new-ui-for-demo-admin-access-control/)

- Published: 2025-12-25
- Modified: 2026-02-25
- Category: Demo Reset Pro News

We’re excited to inform you that we are developing and testing a complete UI solution that will be integrated into the Demo Reset Pro plugin. Key Features✔ Block or allow specific WordPress admin menu items through an easy-to-use interface.✔ Manage user capabilities for demo admin accounts and other user roles—no custom code required.✔ Protect demo site security by restricting access to sensitive settings and information (API keys, licenses, server details, and critical site settings). One of the main advantages of Demo Reset Pro is its ability to let users experience even admin-only features and functionality through demo admin accounts. At the same time, the security and integrity of the demo website must not be compromised. This new UI is being built to help you strike the right balance: providing an admin-level demo experience while keeping critical configuration and private data safely hidden. We’ll share more details as testing progresses.

### [Direct Cron Token : The Advanced Option – (Pro Plugin Only)](https://ministryofplugins.com/mop_harticle/direct-cron-token-the-advanced-option-pro-plugin-only/)

- Published: 2026-01-08
- Modified: 2026-01-08
- Article Category: Demo Reset

What is Direct Cron Token system? The Direct Cron Token system is provided to trigger the Reset Process in situations where the Reset Runner URL and Reset Runner REST URL systems are not capable of doing so. The Direct Cron Token system utilizes the Unix Cron feature of the server where your WordPress website is hosted to trigger the Reset Process by directly calling a PHP file. Therefore, it experiences minimal interference from server-side firewalls, security plugins, firewall plugins, and CDN security features. However, to set up the Direct Cron Token system, you may need to have basic knowledge about cPanel, Unix Cron, File Manager, and/or FTP access to the server root directory. Also your server must be a Unix-like operating system, such as Linux. If you follow the step-by-step guide, setting it up will be very easy. The following descriptions primarily align with hosting solutions that provide cPanel. Note: Demo Reset Direct Cron V1 will not receive updates via the WordPress Plugins page, because an in-dashboard update would overwrite the hard-coded token and may interrupt reset execution. Instead, new releases will be published on this page as V1, V2, V3, and so on. To update, you must manually download the latest version, upload it to your website, activate it, and then follow the setup instructions below. ➤ Step 1 - Download the Demo Reset Direct Cron V1 addon plugin zip file, upload it to your WordPress website and activate the plugin. Version 1 download link: Demo Reset Direct Cron V1 plugin zip ➤ Step 2 - Generate the unique Direct Cron Token. As a prerequisite to generating a Direct Cron Token, you must install and activate the Demo Reset Direct Cron V1 plugin. ➤ Step 3 – Go to cPanel > File Manager and open the demo-reset-direct-cron-v1/cron/demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php file in the File Manager's text editor or via FTP. It is located inside the cron folder of the Demo Reset Direct Cron V1 plugin. ➤ Step 4 – Now, copy the Direct Cron Token from the Reset Runners page and paste it inside the single quotes in code line 14, then save it. ➜ This is how the code line 14 looks by default: if ($corn_token !== 'PasteDirectCronTokenHere') exit; ➤ Step 5 – To enhance security, re-name the cron directory via File Manager or FTP by adding a random prefix that includes lowercase English letters, numbers, and a dash (-). ➜ As an example: Here is how it should look after renaming: w1rh5yxc8a-cron ➜ As an example: Here is how the file path should look after renaming: demo-reset-direct-cron-v1/w1rh5yxc8a-cron/demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php ➤ Step 6 – Access your server's Cron Jobs functionality by navigating to your server's cPanel > Cron Jobs. ➤ Step 7 – Choose the frequency at which you need to run the cron command. The ideal cron schedule for resetting Demo Websites is Once Per Day or Twice Per Day, unless there is high traffic. ➤ Step 8 – Now, you have to build your cron command part by part. ➜ The parts of the cron command in order: [PHP Executable Path][space][Absolute Path to demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php file][space][Direct Cron Token] ➜ Example Command: /usr/local/bin/php /home2/xxxxxx/public_html/yourwebsite/wp-content/plugins/demo-reset-direct-cron-v1/w1rh5yxc8a-cron/demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ● Step 8.1 – Finding the PHP Executable Path ➜ Option 1 - Finding the PHP Executable Path in cPanel's Cron Jobs feature: To obtain the PHP Executable Path; access your server's cPanel > Cron Jobs. On the Cron Jobs page, under the "Add New Cron Job" section, you will see examples of both the general PHP Executable Path and the domain-specific PHP Executable Path. "General PHP Executable Path" refers to: The path where PHP is installed for global use across the system. It will look something like: /usr/local/bin/php "Domain-specific PHP Executable Path" refers to: The path where a specific PHP version is installed for domain-specific use within the system. It will look something like: /usr/local/bin/ea-php99 The "ea-php99" part should be replaced with the PHP version assigned to the domain you wish to use for the Demo Website. The domain-specific PHP version can be found in cPanel's MultiPHP Manager feature. Please copy and save the General PHP Executable Path or create the Domain-specific PHP Executable Path for the domain you wish to use for the Demo Website. Note: For non-cPanel hosts or basic VPS/dedicated servers, the typical general PHP Executable Path is /usr/bin/php. ➜ Option 2 - Obtain the PHP Executable Path by contacting your hosting provider: Every commercial hosting provider has a customer support system in place. You can contact them directly through customer support and ask for the General PHP Executable Path or Domain-specific PHP Executable Path on your server. ● Step 8.2 – Finding the Absolute Path to the demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php file ➜ Option 1 - Retrieve the Absolute Path using cPanel's File Manager feature: To obtain the Absolute Path to the demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php file; access your server's cPanel > File Manager. Then navigate to the wp-content/plugins/demo-reset-direct-cron-v1/w1rh5yxc8a-cron/demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php file which is located inside the re-named cron folder of the Demo Reset Direct Cron V1 plugin. Open that file in the File Manager's text editor same as in Step 3. Now, you can see the Absolute Path of the demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php file in the top bar of the File Manager's text editor. Please copy and save that Absolute File Path in a text file; you will need it to build the Unix Cron command. ➜ Option 2 - Build the Absolute Path using cPanel's FTP Accounts feature: To obtain the Absolute Path of the Home directory of the server; access your server's cPanel > FTP Accounts. On the FTP Accounts page, under the "Add FTP Account" section, you will see the Absolute Path of the Home directory, which will look something like /home/username/. You can now build the Absolute Path of the demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php file by following the directory structure from the Home directory to the demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php file. It will look something like /home2/xxxxxx/public_html/yourwebsite/wp-content/plugins/demo-reset-direct-cron-v1/w1rh5yxc8a-cron/demo-reset-direct-cron-runner.php. ➜ Option 3 - Obtain the Absolute Path by contacting your hosting provider: Every commercial hosting provider has a customer support system in place. You can contact

- Article Category: Demo Reset

Overview This document outlines the developer hooks and constants available for customizing the behavior of the Demo Reset Free plugin. It provides clear explanations, example code, and guidance on where to place each snippet for correct implementation. Hooks and Constants List: demo_reset_allowed_upload_caps demo_reset_reset_gap_tolerance demo_reset_info_bar_custom_css DEMO_RESET_RESET_POINTS_LIMIT DEMO_RESET_RESET_HISTORY_LIMIT DEMO_RESET_DEMO_USERNAMES_NUMBER DEMO_RESET_RUNNER_FOR_TIMER Hooks demo_reset_allowed_upload_caps This is a filter hook. This hook allows restricted Demo User upload capabilities to be enabled. Paste the given code into the functions.php file of your active theme. This code activates upload capabilities for Demo Users. By default, the Demo Reset plugin disables upload capabilities for non-admins (Demo Users) to prevent files from piling up in the uploads directory without being recorded in the database. If you enable uploads for Demo Users, you may need to manually delete unwanted files via FTP after some time. Code: /** * Activates upload capabilities for non-admins (Demo Users). */ add_filter('demo_reset_allowed_upload_caps', function($allcaps) { if (isset($allcaps['upload_files']) && $allcaps['upload_files']) $allcaps['upload_files'] = 1; if (isset($allcaps['unfiltered_upload']) && $allcaps['unfiltered_upload']) $allcaps['unfiltered_upload'] = 1; return $allcaps; }); demo_reset_reset_gap_tolerance This is a filter hook. This hook allows redefining the reset gap tolerance in seconds. Paste the given code into the functions.php file of your active theme and change the reset gap tolerance in seconds as desired. Reset gap tolerance is the maximum allowed time difference between the last two reset intervals for them to be treated as the same. By default, the Demo Reset Plugin sets this to 60 seconds. This parameter is one of several factors that determine the visibility of the Next Reset Time. Code: /** * Sets custom reset gap tolerance to determine the visibility of the Next Reset Time. */ add_filter('demo_reset_reset_gap_tolerance', function($tolerance) { $tolerance = 60; return $tolerance; }); demo_reset_info_bar_custom_css This is an action hook. This hook allows adding custom CSS for the Info Bar. Paste the given code into the functions.php file of your active theme and modify or add CSS lines as desired. Code: /** * Adds custom CSS for the Info Bar. */ add_action('demo_reset_info_bar_custom_css', function() { echo '#demo-reset-info-bar {border-bottom: 2px solid #ff3b30;}'; echo '#demo-reset-info-bar {border-top: 2px solid #ff3b30;}'; }); Constants DEMO_RESET_RESET_POINTS_LIMIT This is a constant that can be redefined. Redefining this constant allows you to increase or decrease the number of Reset Points you can create as the admin. The default value is 5. Paste the given code line into the ‘Add any custom values’ section of the wp-config.php file and change the value as desired. Code: define('DEMO_RESET_RESET_POINTS_LIMIT', 5); DEMO_RESET_RESET_HISTORY_LIMIT This is a constant that can be redefined. Redefining this constant allows you to increase or decrease the Reset History Limit, which controls the number of Reset History items displayed on the Demo Reset dashboard. The default value is 100. Paste the given code line into the ‘Add any custom values’ section of the wp-config.php file and change the value as desired. Code: define('DEMO_RESET_RESET_HISTORY_LIMIT', 100); DEMO_RESET_DEMO_USERNAMES_NUMBER This is a constant that can be redefined. Redefining this constant allows you to change the Reset Runner on which the visibility of the Next Reset Time depends. This constant can only be set to 'reset_runner_url_token' or 'reset_runner_rest_url_token'. The default value is 'reset_runner_url_token'. Paste the given code line into the ‘Add any custom values’ section of the wp-config.php file and change the value as desired.

### [Caching effects on Demo Reset functionalities – (Pro & Free Plugins)](https://ministryofplugins.com/mop_harticle/caching-effects-on-demo-reset-functionalities-pro-free-plugins/)

Overview Caching plugins prevent the proper execution of URL-based Reset Runners and the Countdown Timer, so you must turn off caching on your demo website or disable the caching plugin. Also, be aware of server-level caching mechanisms; if they prevent Reset Runners from executing, please disable them. Based on our current testing, CDN caching (Cloudflare caching) does not block Reset Runners unless restricted by CDN firewalls. Note: We value your battle-tested experiences. If you have valuable knowledge and expertise managing your demo websites using Demo Reset Pro or Free Plugin, it is worth sharing with others. Please do not hesitate to share it with us.

Overview All non-admin user accounts assigned to default WordPress user roles are not affected by demo admin account limitations, as the capabilities of those roles (Editor, Author, Contributor, and Subscriber) pose no security threat. Any content added or edited via demo user accounts is nothing to worry about. With automatic reset executions, the entire demo website will be restored to the chosen reset point. However, you may still want to restrict access to the following features on the WordPress user profile page. Note: The WordPress ecosystem includes thousands of different plugins and themes. As a result, the features and functionalities you may need to block or restrict for various demo user account types can vary greatly. It is therefore not practically possible for us to provide guidance for every individual case. We strongly recommend that you adopt your own methods to restrict any specific features unique to your setup. This could include using a third-party restriction plugin, WordPress hooks, or custom PHP or CSS solutions. If you have developed effective methods, please do not hesitate to share them with us. (Email/Contact Form: Support) We will gladly publish this knowledge on our public forums to benefit the community. Thank you. Hiding password, session management, and application password sections from the profile page Copy and paste the below codes into your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin. /** * Hides password, session management, and application password fields for all non-admin users. */ add_action('admin_head-profile.php', 'hide_account_management_fields'); add_action('admin_head-user-edit.php', 'hide_account_management_fields'); function hide_account_management_fields() { if (current_user_can('manage_options')) return; echo ''; }

### [Admin Accounts for Demo Purposes – (Pro Plugin Only)](https://ministryofplugins.com/mop_harticle/admin-accounts-for-demo-purposes-pro-plugin-only/)

Message: This Help Article contains code snippets that may need to be added to your demo website theme’s functions.php file to manage the capabilities of demo admin accounts. We’re excited to inform you that we are developing and testing a complete UI solution that will work with the Demo Reset Pro plugin. With it, you’ll have the ability to block or allow admin menu items and manage user capabilities for demo admin accounts (and other user roles) through an easy-to-use interface. Concept of Demo Admin Accounts & Overview One of the main advantages of the Demo Reset Pro plugin is its ability to let users experience even admin-only features and functionalities through demo admin accounts. At the same time, the security and integrity of the demo website must not be compromised. There are certain settings and information, such as API keys, licenses, server details, and site settings, that should be kept hidden. Therefore, certain limitations are enforced on demo admin accounts by default, restricting access to critical capabilities and functionalities. These limitations vary depending on the status of the demo website (THAWED state or FROZEN state). Any content added or edited via demo user accounts is nothing to worry about. With automatic reset executions, the entire demo website will be restored to the chosen reset point. Only Demo Reset Admins have full access and control over these restrictions while the site is in THAWED state. By default, the admin who activates the Demo Reset Pro plugin is designated as the Demo Reset Admin. What demo admin account holders can do in the FROZEN state (Demo Mode) by default: Add, edit, and delete posts, pages, categories, tags, and custom post types. Manage comments. Upload and manage media files (If allowed in Demo Reset Pro settings). Switch between themes. Customize themes using the theme editor. Customize themes, posts, and pages using the block editor. Manage menus and widgets. Access and manage any feature or functionality added by third-party plugins or themes that you have not restricted. What demo admin account holders can't do in the FROZEN state (Demo Mode) by default: Install, activate, delete, update, resume, or edit plugins. Install, delete, update, resume, or edit themes. Edit theme or plugin files directly. Create, edit, delete, list, remove, or promote users. Import or export content, personal data, or erase personal data. Install languages or update WordPress core. Access or modify general site settings, writing, reading, discussion, media, or permalink options. Check site health or perform related diagnostics. Access Demo Reset Pro admin menu items and pages. Add, edit, delete, or publish Help Articles (demo_reset_harticles), including managing categories. Access the /wp/v2/settings REST API endpoint, regardless of the demo website's state. (This restriction applies to all users at all times.) All non-admin user accounts assigned with default WordPress user roles are not affected by these limitations, as the capabilities of those roles (Editor, Author, Contributor, and Subscriber) pose no security threat. However, you may still want to restrict access to certain features for these non-admin accounts. If so, please refer to the help article 'Non-Admin Accounts for Demo Purposes'. Depending on your business needs, you may want to restrict or allow access to specific features and functionalities on your demo website for demo admin users. For example, you might need to limit access to certain plugin or theme settings pages. To learn how, please refer to the following topics. Note: The WordPress ecosystem includes thousands of different plugins and themes. As a result, the features and functionalities you may need to block or restrict for various demo user account types can vary greatly. It is therefore not practically possible for us to provide guidance for every individual case. We strongly recommend that you adopt your own methods to restrict any specific features unique to your setup.

Restricting admin menu items The Demo Reset Pro plugin lets you restrict access to selected WordPress admin menu items and their pages for demo admin user accounts. This allows you to safely create and share demo admin accounts without compromising your website’s security. Demo Reset Pro plugin has two mechanisms to restrict admin menu items: 1. Blocking main admin menu items (top-level menu items) using demo_reset_blocked_main_menus filter hook. (Returns an array of main menu slugs.) 2. Blocking sub admin menu items (sub menu items under top-level menu items) using demo_reset_blocked_sub_menus filter hook. (Returns an array of sub menu slugs.) Example codes /** * Block specific main (parent) admin menu items */ add_filter('demo_reset_blocked_main_menus', function($menus) { $menus[] = 'parent_menu_item_1_slug'; // Example: blocks parent menu item 1 $menus[] = 'parent_menu_item_2_slug'; // Example: blocks parent menu item 2 return $menus; }); /** * Block specific sub (child) admin menu items */ add_filter('demo_reset_blocked_sub_menus', function($submenus) { $submenus[] = 'sub_menu_item_1_slug'; // Example: blocks sub menu item 1 $submenus[] = 'sub_menu_item_2_slug'; // Example: blocks sub menu item 2 return $submenus; }); Instructions 1. Copy and paste the code into your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin. 2. Add the actual parent and/or sub menu item slugs in place of the placeholders. You can add multiple slugs on separate lines to block all the desired menu items. Important Notes 1. These hooks only block admin menu items for standard administrator accounts intended for demo purposes. Demo Reset Admin accounts are not affected. Lower-privileged roles (e.g., Editor, Author, Subscriber) are also unaffected and will continue to see only the admin menu items allowed by their default WordPress role capabilities. 2. By default, the following parent and sub admin menu slugs are blocked for standard administrator accounts created for demo purposes to ensure site security. Main Admin Menu Items Blocked by Default: 'plugins.php' 'edit.php?post_type=demo_reset_harticle' 'users.php' 'profile.php' Sub Admin Menu Items Blocked by Default: 'update-core.php' 'options-general.php' 'options-writing.php' 'options-reading.php' 'options-discussion.php' 'options-media.php'
