Settings — Plugixa FAQ
Global settings live in the plugixa_faq_settings WordPress option (a single array with all sub-keys). Every value can be overridden by a view, and every view value can be overridden by a shortcode.
Go to Plugixa FAQ → Settings.
Settings priority
Shortcode attribute > View config > Global settings
(highest priority) (lowest priority)
A shortcode like [plugixa_faq open_first="yes"] wins over a view that has open_first=false, which wins over the global default.
Tabs
The Settings page is split into tabs, one per feature area:
| Tab | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Feedback | “Was this helpful?” widget — enable, gating, messages, cooldown |
| Submission PRO | Frontend FAQ submission form ([plugixa_faq_form]) |
| Captcha | Google reCAPTCHA v3 keys and score threshold |
| Schema | FAQPage JSON-LD for Google rich snippets |
| Permalinks | URL structure for single FAQ pages |
| Advanced | Custom CSS, asset loading, debug, delete all data |
| WooCommerce PRO | FAQ tab on product pages |
| Multilingual | Polylang / WPML integration behavior |
| AI PRO | Provider, keys, models, temperature |
