General settings — Plugixa Recipe

The General tab sets the plugin-wide defaults for rendering recipes, handling frontend submissions, and email notifications.

Go to Recipes → Settings → General.

General settings

Options

Key	Default	Notes
`default_view`	(first published view)	The view used when a shortcode doesn’t specify one.
`default_orderby`	`created_at`	Sort key for grids: `created_at`, `title`, `rating_average`, `view_count`.
`default_order`	`DESC`	`ASC` or `DESC`.
`default_limit`	`12`	Recipes per grid (views and shortcodes can override).
`submission_enabled`	`false`	Master switch for the frontend submission form `[plugixa_recipe_form]`.
`submission_status`	`pending`	Status for submitted recipes: `pending`, `draft`, or `publish`.
`submission_who`	`logged_in`	`any` (guests OK), `logged_in`, or a specific role slug.
`email_new_submission`	`true`	Notify the site admin when a new recipe is submitted.
`email_new_review`	`true`	Notify on each new review.
`email_review_reply`	`false`	Notify a reviewer when the admin replies to their review.
`email_recipient`	`{{admin_email}}`	Override admin email — accepts a comma-separated list.

The sort/limit options cascade through views and shortcodes:

Shortcode attribute  >  View config  >  General defaults

Submission and email settings are global-only — they apply site-wide regardless of the view rendering the form.
