The plugin is standalone and does not require a separate WD Online core plugin. Learn more about WDOnline Content Sections at https://wdonline.dk/wd-content-sections/. WD Online Support Diagnostics integration is optional and read-only. WDOnline Content Sections does not automatically send diagnostic data, telemetry, or site information to WD Online or any external service.
