Local Settings on Content Page

The DaReactions plugin provides a flexible option to activate reactions on an individual content basis through local settings available on the content edit page. This allows for precise control over reactions, even if they are generally disabled for a specific type of content or comments associated with that content.

How to Use Local Settings for Reactions

Access the Content Edit Page:
- Open the content you wish to edit, whether it's a post, page, or any custom content type, by selecting "Edit" from your dashboard or content list.
Locate the Reactions Widget:
- On the content edit page, find the widget specifically designated for reactions. This widget is usually positioned in the sidebar or below the main editing area.
Activate Reactions:
- Within the widget, you'll find an option to enable reactions for the specific piece of content you are editing. Activate this option to allow reactions even if they are disabled globally or for the content type.

Implications of Using Local Settings

Content-Specific Customization: Local settings allow you to customize the engagement options for individual content items without affecting others. This is particularly useful for highlighting or testing reactions on specific posts or pages.
Isolation of Changes: Changes made through local settings are confined to the specific content being edited. This ensures that other content types or items remain unaffected by the adjustments.

Best Practices

Selective Use: Consider using local settings judiciously, especially if you want to maintain a consistent user experience across your site. Local settings are best used for exceptions or special cases.
Consistency in User Experience: While local settings offer flexibility, maintaining a consistent approach to reactions across your site can help in managing user expectations and interaction quality.

By understanding and utilizing local settings for reactions, you can effectively manage how individual content items engage with users, providing a tailored experience where needed without disrupting the overall content strategy.
