Plugin core settings

Even with the addons architecture for most of the plugin features, there are a lot of settings that are very important for plugin functioning properly, and they are part of the main settings panel, alongside methods and addons.

Here is the short overview of all individual core settings groups and settings they include.

• Extensions
  Main group of settings for controlling active addons and methods.
• Global
  Basic settings for control over AJAX, anonymous voting validation, votes log, rating calculation and FontAwesome support.
• Administration
  Control for metabox integration for post types, settings for logs and tools.
• Security
  With options for throttle and nonce protections, and storing IP’s as hashes and not actual IP’s.

And, here are the other core plugin settings:

• Cache
  The plugin uses cache for various performance improvements, and here you can control many cache aspects.
• Advanced
  Controls loading of JS and CSS plugin needs and additional filters for settings rules.
• Debug

• Widgets
  With settings that allow you to disable any of the widgets you don’t need.
