Recommended Settings for Edevy Plugins

Table of contents

Setting up your Edevy plugin the right way ensures the best performance, security, and user experience. Here are our general recommendations for new users.
(For plugin-specific settings, see the guides in each plugin’s documentation section.)

1. Keep All Plugins Updated #

  • Enable auto-updates for all Edevy plugins (Plugins → Installed Plugins → “Enable auto-updates”).
  • Check for updates after major WordPress core releases.

2. Use Only What You Need #

  • Only activate Edevy plugins you actually use.
    (Deactivate and delete any unused plugins to keep your site fast and secure.)

3. Review Default Settings After Activation #

  • Visit each plugin’s settings page after activation.
  • Walk through any Setup Wizard or “Getting Started” prompts.
  • Check for recommended defaults—most Edevy plugins are optimized out-of-the-box, but you may want to:
    • Enable/disable specific features
    • Set notification or alert preferences
    • Adjust display or role options (if applicable)

4. Configure License Keys (Pro Plugins Only) #

  • Enter your license key right after activation to unlock updates and support.
  • You’ll find your key in your Edevy.com account or purchase email.

5. Test on Staging First (Advanced Users/Production Sites) #

  • For business-critical sites, install and configure new plugins on a staging copy before updating live.
  • Test all plugin features and compatibility with your theme and other plugins.

6. Enable Only Essential Features #

  • If the plugin offers optional modules or integrations, enable only those you plan to use.
  • Turn off advanced or resource-intensive features you don’t need.

7. Set Up Notifications (if available) #

  • If the plugin sends email or admin alerts, customize notification settings to your preference.
  • Set a backup admin email to ensure you never miss a critical alert.

8. Backup Regularly #

  • Always keep regular backups of your site, especially before installing or updating plugins.

9. Explore the Docs #

  • Each Edevy plugin includes detailed in-app and online documentation.
  • Read through the relevant guides and FAQs for tips and troubleshooting.

Pro Tip: #

After configuring your settings, clear your site’s cache and test the plugin’s features as a site visitor (not just as an admin).
