General Settings
The General settings tab controls the basic functionality of the wishlist system, including user access permissions and success messages. These settings determine who can use the wishlist feature and what messages they see.
Available Settings
Disable registered users
Type: Checkbox
Purpose: Completely disables wishlist functionality for logged-in users
How It Works
When enabled, registered users will not see any wishlist buttons or links throughout the site. This is useful if you only want to offer wishlist functionality to guest users to encourage registration, or if you want to temporarily disable the feature for members.
Checked: Wishlist disabled for all logged-in users
Unchecked (Default): Wishlist available for registered users
Use Case: Guest-only wishlist strategy, temporary member maintenance
Disable guest users
Type: Checkbox
Purpose: Completely disables wishlist functionality for non-logged-in users
How It Works
When enabled, guest users will not see any wishlist buttons or links throughout the site. This forces users to register and log in before they can use the wishlist feature, which can help increase user registrations.
Checked: Wishlist disabled for all guest users
Unchecked (Default): Wishlist available for guest users via cookies
Use Case: Membership-only strategy, data collection requirements
Success message text for adding to wishlist
Type: Text Field
Purpose: Customizes the message shown when a product is successfully added to wishlist
How It Works
This message appears briefly after a user successfully adds a product to their wishlist. It provides immediate feedback that the action was completed.
Default Value: “Added”
Custom Examples: “Added to wishlist!”, “Saved for later”, “♥ Added”
HTML Support: Basic HTML tags are supported
Display Duration: Message appears for 2-3 seconds
