Data & uninstall ​

This page lists everything Lumtera 1.2 and Lumtera Pro 1.1 store in your database. {prefix} is your table prefix, usually wp_.

Nothing leaves your site by default ​

  • Lumtera runs entirely inside your WordPress. No account, no API key, no MantraBrain servers.
  • Nothing runs for visitors, except the site fixes you switch on, and the statement link and feedback form where you place them.
  • Nothing is sent to an outside service unless you switch on AI suggestions under Settings. Then data is sent only to the AI provider connected to WordPress, and only when someone clicks a button for a suggestion. For alt text, that's the image and the text around it. For link text, headings and summaries, it's the text involved and the post title.
  • The feedback form sends a message to Akismet only if you turn on its spam check. Then the message and the sender's IP address go to Akismet.
  • The weekly email summary is off by default. When it's on, WordPress emails site totals to the addresses you enter.
  • While content is rendered for a check, outgoing HTTP requests are blocked, so blocks like RSS feeds and embeds don't fetch anything.

Lumtera Pro contacts store.mantrabrain.com to check your license and updates. It sends the license key, your site address and the environment type. It sends data elsewhere only where you set it up:

  • Slack and webhook addresses you add (see Activity and webhooks)
  • client sites you connect to the client portfolio, and the client update emails you turn on
  • the issue tracker you connect (GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Asana, ClickUp or Trello). An issue holds the finding, its markup snippet, how to fix it, the page title, its view and edit links, a link to the task on the Fix tracking screen, and the site name. When a fix is applied or undone, Pro adds a comment to the linked issue.

Tables ​

The database version is 6. It's stored in the lumtera_db_version option. When the number in the code is higher, Lumtera upgrades the tables once, on the first request that gets a database lock.

TableWhat it holdsKey columns
{prefix}lumtera_issuesOne row per open finding in saved content. A post's rows are replaced each time it's checked, and removed when it's deleted. Dismissed findings, and findings ignored site-wide in Pro, have no rows.post_id, rule_id, severity, fingerprint, occurrence, message, context (the markup snippet), created_at, source_type and source_id (the site part the finding comes from, or content), confidence
{prefix}lumtera_partsFindings in site parts: template parts, synced patterns, navigation menus, classic menus and widget areas. Each part is checked on its own.part_type, part_key, rule_id, severity, confidence, fingerprint, occurrence, message, context, created_at
{prefix}lumtera_page_resultsWhole-page results saved from review mode, one row per address, viewport and role. Only saved when the person ticked Save results to reports. Up to 500 rows; the oldest go first.url_hash, url, post_id, viewport, width, role, source, engine, errors, warnings, notices, issues, snapshot, checked_at, checked_by, summary (a compact summary of the findings, so site-wide numbers never decode every one; rows saved before 1.2.0 get theirs in the background)
{prefix}lumtera_changesChange sets: fixes proposed for content, who approved and applied them, and what undoing one restores. See Fixing issues.post_id, part_key, rule_id, fingerprint, origin, before, after, patch, status, proposed_by, approved_by, applied_by, revision_before, revision_after, verify, verify_detail, created_at, updated_at

Lumtera checks that its tables exist and offers a repair button when one is missing. Add-ons add their tables to that check with the lumtera_tables filter, and recreate them on the lumtera_repair_tables action. See Hooks.

Options ​

"Autoloaded" options are read on every request, so WordPress loads them together with its own.

OptionContentsAutoloaded
lumtera_settingsContent types, check on save, before-publishing mode, outlines, per-check severities, the AI switches, whether review-mode findings may be saved, and what happens to your data when Lumtera is deleted (uninstall: keep, the default, or delete)Yes
lumtera_site_fixesSite fix switches and optionsYes
lumtera_statementYour statement form answers, and the statement page and draft IDsNo
lumtera_statement_footerWhether classic themes print the statement link in the footerYes
lumtera_last_full_scanWhen the last Check all content run finished (Unix time), for the statement dateNo
lumtera_feedbackFeedback settings: who is notified, the Akismet spam check, and how many months personal data is kept (default 24)Yes
lumtera_feedback_counterThe last feedback reference number, per yearNo
lumtera_feedback_countsMessages per status, for the menu badge. Rebuilt whenever a status changes.Yes
lumtera_email_summaryEmail summary switch, recipients, weekday and whether to include the note about Lumtera ProNo
lumtera_email_summary_stateTotals at the last summary sent, and posts whose score dropped since (up to 100)No
lumtera_email_summary_deliveryThe last attempt to send a summary: when, whether it was a test, whether WordPress accepted it, and the error if it didn'tNo
lumtera_page_dismissalsDismissed whole-page findings: for the whole site or one address, with the check, severity, note, who and whenNo
lumtera_parts_stateWhen site parts were last checked, which parts were found, which couldn't be checked, and how many were left overNo
lumtera_part_rescan_{change ID}Progress of re-checking the pages a fix touched, one option per changeNo
lumtera_onboardingThe Overview checklist: when each step was done, and when the card was put awayNo
lumtera_progressWhen Lumtera was first activated, how many issues were fixed in edited content (in total and per day, for 60 days), and the errors of the first full check. Used for Fixed this week and the review request.No
lumtera_home_watchWhether the weekly home page check is onNo
lumtera_home_watch_stateThe last 12 home page checks: when, errors and items to review, how many findings were new or gone since the check before, the most common issues, and any errorNo
lumtera_failed_scansPosts whose check stopped PHP (out of time or memory), so the next site-wide check skips them (up to 100)No
lumtera_manual_versionMarks that old manual check records were convertedYes
lumtera_permissions_rolesRoles already given their default permissions, so a role added later gets its defaults onceYes
lumtera_db_version, lumtera_roles_version, lumtera_permissions_versionVersion markersYes

lumtera_permissions is used only by the Permissions form. The choices are written to the roles, and the option itself is never saved.

Post meta ​

KeyStored onContents
_lumtera_summaryChecked postsCounts, score, reading grade and when it was checked
_lumtera_scoreChecked postsScore, for sorting list tables
_lumtera_reopenedChecked postsWhy findings you dismissed on the post show again (for example, a more severe finding came back), by fingerprint. Removed when nothing is reopened.
_lumtera_dismissedPostsDismissed issues, with who, when, why and the severity
_lumtera_manualPostsManual check results: for each test, the result, note, failed criteria, who recorded it and when
_lumtera_exceptionPosts and mediaAn ADA Title II exception tag: the type, the note, who tagged it and when. Tagged items stay in every count. See Statement.
_lumtera_exception_typePosts and mediaThe exception type alone, so lists can filter on it
_lumtera_image, _lumtera_image_noalt, _lumtera_image_noalt_manualPosts and imagesWhich images a post shows, and which copies lack alt text (for the alt text manager)
_lumtera_alt_aiImagesWho accepted an AI alt text suggestion, and when
_lumtera_statement_hashStatement pageA hash of what Lumtera last wrote, so a page you've edited is never overwritten
_lumtera_statement_versionStatement pageThe statement format that wrote the page (currently 2)
_lumtera_fb_*Feedback recordsSee below

_lumtera_summary, _lumtera_score and _lumtera_reopened belong to one site only. Lumtera leaves them out of WordPress exports and drops them from imports. Add-ons add their own keys with the lumtera_derived_post_meta filter. See Hooks.

Lumtera also writes WordPress's own _wp_attachment_image_alt when you save alt text in the alt text manager. Before WordPress 7.0, it also copies alt text embedded in an uploaded image into it, when the image has none.

Feedback records ​

Each message sent through the feedback form is a private lumtera_feedback post. It has no admin screen of its own and isn't in WordPress exports. The message is the post content. The rest is post meta:

KeyContents
_lumtera_fb_referenceThe reference number shown to the visitor
_lumtera_fb_statusnew, in_progress, answered or closed
_lumtera_fb_typebarrier, alternative or other
_lumtera_fb_page_url, _lumtera_fb_post_idThe page the message is about
_lumtera_fb_reply_formatThe reply format the visitor asked for
_lumtera_fb_name, _lumtera_fb_email, _lumtera_fb_consentName and email address, only if the visitor gave them and agreed
_lumtera_fb_notesInternal notes, with who wrote them
_lumtera_fb_repliesEmail replies sent, with who sent them
_lumtera_fb_historyStatus changes, with who made them
_lumtera_fb_anonymisedWhen personal data was removed

Lumtera never stores the sender's IP address. A scrambled form of it is kept in a transient for up to an hour to limit how many messages one connection can send.

A daily job removes personal data from records older than the retention period (24 months by default). It deletes the name, email address and consent, empties the message and the reply texts, and keeps the reference, request type, page and status.

User meta ​

KeyContents
lumtera_viewThe person's chosen view of the Content report. Until they choose, the view follows what they can do.
lumtera_save_page_results1 once the person ticked Save results to reports in review mode
lumtera_welcome_dismissedThe person closed the welcome notice
lumtera_review_askThe person's answer to the review request: snoozed until a date, or never ask again
lumtera_hints_dismissedThe Pro tips the person hid, with when

Lumtera also keeps the editor's highlighting preference in WordPress's own preferences store (the lumtera scope of the persisted_preferences user meta).

Transients ​

TransientKept for
lumtera_totals, lumtera_by_rule, lumtera_by_rule_published, lumtera_worst, lumtera_worst_published, lumtera_groups, lumtera_coverageUp to a day. Cleared whenever a result or setting changes.
lumtera_rate_bulk_run_{user ID}A day: where the person's Check all content run stopped, so the Overview can offer to continue it. Deleted when the run finishes.
lumtera_save_errorA day: the last failure to store a post's results, shown to administrators with a repair button
lumtera_feedback_form_pageA day: the published page that holds the feedback form
lumtera_image_reviewAn hour
lumtera_page_run_{user ID}_{hash}An hour: whole-page findings from review mode, so they can be dismissed
lumtera_rate_fb_{hash}An hour: the feedback form's limit per connection
lumtera_rate_fba_{hash}An hour: feedback form posts without JavaScript per connection (sent or not), up to 30
lumtera_linked_pdfsAn hour: how many PDFs the site links to, for a Pro tip
lumtera_fb_{key}10 minutes: the result of a feedback form sent without JavaScript, encrypted
lumtera_ai_ready, lumtera_ai_text_ready10 minutes
lumtera_rate_{user ID}A minute: live-check rate limit. Stored in the object cache instead when the site has a persistent one.
lumtera_rate_ai_{user ID}10 minutes: AI rate limit

Roles and capabilities ​

NameGiven toGrants
lumtera_reporter (role)Users you chooseread and lumtera_view_summary only. See Roles & permissions.
lumtera_view_summaryThe Lumtera Reporter role and administratorsReading the site summary
lumtera_view_reportsRoles ticked under See reports and check the site. Default: roles that can edit others' posts.Lumtera's report screens and site-wide checks
lumtera_dismiss_errorsRoles ticked under Dismiss errors. Default: roles that can edit others' posts.Dismissing and restoring errors
lumtera_review_modeRoles ticked under Review pages on the site. Default: roles that can edit posts.Review mode on posts the user can edit
lumtera_manage_feedbackRoles ticked under Handle accessibility feedback. Default: roles that can edit others' posts.Reading and answering feedback

Administrators always keep the last four. The defaults are granted once per site. The capabilities live on the roles, so a role editor plugin can show them and give them to single users. From WP-CLI, change them with wp cap add and wp cap remove, for example wp cap add author lumtera_dismiss_errors.

Custom post type ​

lumtera_feedback: private, with no admin UI of its own and no REST route. See Feedback records.

Scheduled jobs ​

The free plugin uses WP-Cron.

HookWhen
lumtera_email_summaryWeekly at 09:00 site time, on the chosen weekday (default Monday). Scheduled only while the email summary is on and Lumtera Pro isn't active (Pro sends its own weekly digest).
lumtera_home_watchWeekly, while the weekly home page check is on, and once straight away when it's turned on: loads the home page from this site and checks it. Check now runs the same check in the request.
lumtera_feedback_retentionDaily: removes personal data from feedback older than the retention period
lumtera_site_parts_checkOnce, straight away, after a theme switch, a menu or widget change, or when Check all content finishes: checks every site part
lumtera_part_rescanOnce, a minute after a fix is applied or undone, with the change ID: finishes re-checking the pages it touched if the screen was closed
lumtera_page_summaries_backfillAfter an upgrade, then a minute apart until done: adds a summary to whole-page results saved before Lumtera 1.2.0. The numbers stay the same.

Lumtera Pro ​

Pro Every plan

Tables ​

The Pro schema version is 8. Version 8 adds {prefix}lumtera_pro_page_history and the walk_at column on {prefix}lumtera_pro_pages. It's stored in the lumtera_pro_db_version option and upgraded the same way as the free tables.

TableWhat it holdsKey columns
{prefix}lumtera_pro_tasksFix tracking taskspost_id, fingerprint, rule_id, severity, status, assignee, created_by, resolved_at, verified (1 when a re-check confirmed the fix), change_id (the fix from the Fixes queue)

{prefix}lumtera_pro_portfolio_historyOne row per client site per day, for the client portfoliosite_id, day, score, errors, warnings, scanned, coverage, feedback_open, feedback_overdue, lumtera_version

Pro adds these tables to the free plugin's missing-table check with the lumtera_tables filter, and recreates them on lumtera_repair_tables.

Tools → Site Health includes a Lumtera Pro background tasks test that warns when jobs are more than an hour late.

Privacy ​

Lumtera collects nothing about visitors, except what they send through the feedback form.

Both plugins add sections to WordPress's privacy tools. See Tools → Export Personal Data and Erase Personal Data. Registered users are found by their account's email address. Feedback senders are found by the email address they left.

Tool (ID)ExportsErasing
Lumtera accessibility dismissals and AI alt text (lumtera)Issues the person dismissed, in posts and on whole pages, with notes. AI alt text suggestions they accepted.Removes the person and their notes from dismissals, and the person from AI alt text records and saved page results. The dismissals and the "suggested by AI" record stay.
Lumtera accessibility feedback (lumtera-feedback)Feedback the person sent, found by their email addressRemoves the name, email address, message and reply texts. The reference, request type, page and status stay.
Lumtera manual accessibility checks (lumtera-manual)Manual check results the person recorded, with notesRemoves the person and the note. The result stays.
Lumtera accessibility fixes (lumtera-changes)Fixes the person proposed, approved, applied or undidReplaces the person with 0 in each change. The changes and page revisions stay.
Lumtera Pro activity log (lumtera-pro-activity)Activity log entries by the personRemoves the person from entries they made or are named in. The entries stay. Evidence entries keep their hashes, and a new ledger entry records the change, so the chain still verifies.
Lumtera Pro manual test sessions (lumtera-pro-sessions)Test results, sign-offs and reopenings by the personRemoves the person, their notes and reasons. Results stay. Screenshots stay in the media library; delete them there if they show personal data.
Lumtera Pro client update emails (lumtera-pro-client-emails)Portfolio sites that send client update emails to the addressTakes the address off each site's recipients. A site left with none stops sending.
Lumtera Pro fix tracking (lumtera-pro-fix-tracking)Fix tracking tasks assigned to or tracked by the person, and their history entries and notesUnassigns the person, replaces them with a removed user in each task and its history, and replaces their notes with "(Note removed at its author's request.)". The tasks stay, as a record of the work done.
Lumtera Pro disproportionate burden records (lumtera-pro-burden)Burden records the person wrote, or that name them under Assessed by (by email address, display name, full name or username)Removes them as the record's author and replaces Assessed by with "Name removed at the person's request". The records stay, as evidence.

Some records name people but aren't part of these tools:

  • Pro's ignore rules (who added a rule, and the reason typed) and feedback assignees store user IDs.
  • Feedback notes, replies and status changes store the staff member's user ID.
  • ADA Title II exception tags store who added the tag.
  • Saved page results store who checked the page. Erasing removes it, but it isn't exported.

Lumtera also adds suggested text to Settings → Privacy → Policy Guide, including text on the feedback form and manual checks.

Uninstall ​

Deactivating the free plugin unschedules the email summary, the weekly home page check, the feedback clean-up and the background summary job. Deactivating Pro cancels all its scheduled jobs, on every site when it's network-deactivated. Neither deletes any data.

Deleting the free plugin ​

What happens is your choice, under Lumtera → Settings → General → When Lumtera is deleted. See Settings. On a network, each site follows its own choice. Deactivating never removes anything.

Keep my data (recommended) is the default. Deleting the plugin then removes only its scheduled jobs and cached totals. Feedback messages, results, settings, tables and meta stay, so installing Lumtera again picks them up. The Plugins screen says Data is kept if deleted.

Delete everything removes, on that site:

  • the four tables lumtera_issues, lumtera_parts, lumtera_page_results and lumtera_changes
  • every feedback record (lumtera_feedback posts and their meta)
  • the options listed above, including the lumtera_part_rescan_* options
  • the post meta listed above, including manual check results (_lumtera_manual), exception tags and the statement page's _lumtera_statement_hash and _lumtera_statement_version
  • the user meta and transients listed above, and Lumtera's editor preferences
  • its scheduled jobs
  • the Lumtera Reporter role, and the lumtera_view_summary, lumtera_view_reports, lumtera_dismiss_errors, lumtera_review_mode and lumtera_manage_feedback capabilities from every role

With Delete everything chosen, the Plugins screen warns how many feedback messages and results will go, offers Export feedback first (CSV), and asks you to confirm when you deactivate.

Either way, it keeps:

  • your accessibility statement page (it's your content)
  • alt text Lumtera added to images and posts
  • fixes applied to your content, and the page revisions saved before each one

Deleting Lumtera Pro ​

On every site of a network, it removes:

  • every lumtera_pro_* option and transient, including the conformance report details, issue tracker settings, portfolio sites and webhooks. The license (lumtera_license, and lumtera_pro_license from 1.0) and the ledger head are exceptions, see below.
  • the post meta _lumtera_pro_errors, _lumtera_pro_pdf, _lumtera_pro_pdf_attempt, _lumtera_pro_assignee, _lumtera_pro_overdue_alerted, _lumtera_pro_task, _lumtera_session_screenshot and the share link meta
  • the test users made for signed-in checks, and the lumtera_pro_fft_active and lumtera_pro_dismissed user meta
  • the lumtera_propose_changes, lumtera_approve_changes and lumtera_manage_reports capabilities from every role
  • the Accessibility client role. Users who had it keep their accounts, without a role.
  • all its scheduled jobs, in WP-Cron and Action Scheduler
  • the cached update details

By default it keeps:

  • your license, because an expired key can't be activated again. Define LUMTERA_PRO_DELETE_LICENSE as true to remove it. Lumtera Pro then also frees this site's activation on the store, so the key can be used on another site. On a network, this also removes the network-wide license.
  • your records: reports, burden records, test sessions, fix tracking history, page results, the activity log with its evidence ledger (and lumtera_pro_ledger_head), and scan snapshots. Define LUMTERA_PRO_DELETE_REPORTS as true to remove them: the lumtera_report, lumtera_burden and lumtera_test_session posts and all seven Pro tables.
  • test session screenshots, which stay in the media library like any other upload
php
// wp-config.php: remove everything when Lumtera Pro is deleted.
define( 'LUMTERA_PRO_DELETE_REPORTS', true );
define( 'LUMTERA_PRO_DELETE_LICENSE', true );

There is no setting for this in Lumtera Pro. Only the two constants change what Pro deletes. The free plugin has its own choice, under When Lumtera is deleted (see above).

On multisite, deleting a site drops its Lumtera and Lumtera Pro tables.
