Portal vs WP Admin: What Lives Where
|
Applies to: WordPress Plugin + Admin Portal WP Admin: All three tabs (Protection / Settings / Audit Trail)
|
Overview
Compliance by Hu-manity.co has two management interfaces: the WordPress admin (inside your WordPress dashboard) and the Admin Portal (at app.hu-manity.co). Some settings live in one interface only; others are accessible from both. This article maps every feature to the correct interface so you always know where to go.
WordPress Admin Tabs
The WordPress plugin interface has three tabs:
- Protection — Consent mode toggles, tracker status (read-only), compliance grade, threat intelligence
- Settings — Banner design, consent behavior, cookie expiry, privacy policy link, custom scripts, display/animation, technical settings
- Audit Trail — Consent log viewer and CSV export (Professional plan)

How Settings Sync Between Portal and WP Admin
Changes you make in the Admin Portal are published to a CDN configuration endpoint. The WordPress plugin fetches this configuration on a 24-hour cron cycle or when you click Pull Configuration in the WP admin Technical Settings section.
Changes you make in the WordPress admin Settings tab are saved locally to your WordPress database. If your site is connected, some design and config fields are also pushed to the portal API when you save.
Important: Portal changes are not reflected in WordPress until the next configuration pull. If you just changed settings in the portal and need them immediately, use the Pull Configuration button or the Purge Cache button in the WP admin.
