You can define several plugin constants to set custom default options that will be applied site-wide.
- Open your
wp-config.php file
- Search for the line
/* Add any custom values between this line and the "stop editing" line. */
- Define the options you want to override between the line from step #2 and
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
See the included
config-example.php file for a full list of supported settings.
