Base Options

The Base Options are the default behaviours for Help Items widgets. They are overridden by the individual settings configured for each Help item. They help guide the behaviour of new Help items being created assisting the Admin in maintaining some uniformity between different help Item widgets on the site.

• Select the custom post types - Custom post types available to apply while making Help items.
• Select the side the widget appears on - Determines the alignment of the widget on the screen. Choose between Right and Left.
• Select the widget type - Sets the default widget type, type set in individual widget settings takes precedence. Choose between:
  • Accordion
  • Select
  • Side 
  • Slider
  • Floating Accordion
  • Floating Select
  • Floating Side
  • Floating Slider
• Select the widget theme - Choose between the White and Black themes.
• Show "Search" in the widget - Toggles the search box in the widget on or off.
• Show Help Item's title in the widget - Toggles help items titles on or off.
• Hide On-boarding tabs with customizer - Choose On to hide tabs when using the theme customizer.
• On-boarding scripts load in footer - If enabled, then On-boarding scripts will load in footer. Note: this option was introduced in version 1.4.6.

• Allow to dismiss the widget - If enabled, your site visitors can disable displaying widget by clicking on the Trash icon. The admin is able to turn on the widget for registered users again manually in the back-end. Note: this option was introduced in version 1.4.9.

  

• Icon for dismiss button - Specify the dashicon for dismissing the widget. By default, it's a trash icon "dashicons-trash", and you can choose any other WordPress dashicon. Learn more about Wordpress Dashicons. Note: this option was introduced in version 1.4.9.

• Days without widget - As the admin can not turn on disabled widgets again for guest users manually, there's a possibility to show widgets to them again after passing some time. This option allows to specify the amount of days after which the dissmissed widget will be displayed to guest users again. Note: this option was introduced in version 1.4.9.
