Description
The Alternative Site Settings plugin was originally intended as a starting set of functions for the further development of an individual project. As a result, it was optimized and can be used for small standard projects,
such as a landing page or a business card website.
The plugin contains the following functionality:
- Editing basic settings, such as the name and description of the site, the content of meta tags for the main page, og:image for the main page, copyright information, additional text fields for the header and footer.
- Fields for the contact information section, which is usually located at the bottom of the landing page or in the footer of the site. The contacts section also either includes a map via a shortcode of a third-party plugin, or a static image with an office location diagram is inserted.
- Five ready-made options for custom records – News, Promotions, Documents, Books, Videos. Each recording type is disabled by default.
- Contact forms with a minimum set of seven fields. They satisfy the basic needs when using pop-up feedback forms.
- The “Reviews” section allows you to organize moderated reviews from site visitors.
Attention! The plugin is focused on working with classic themes.

FAQ
-
How contact forms are displayed in a theme?
-
During plugin activation, the cf-style.tss and cf-script.js files are copied to the “css” and “js” directories located in the “assets” directory of the active theme, respectively. The files do not
overwrite existing files – this is done so that you can set individual styles for forms, unique to each theme. When activating a new theme, the plugin will also have to be activated again.
The display of buttons and forms is carried out either using a shortcode, or by directly registering the buttons in the header file of the theme itself.Shortcodes:
- [ass_cform_button cfid=1] – Button shortcode
- [ass_cform cfid=1] – Form shortcode
-
How are Reviews displayed on the frontend?
-
When the plugin is activated, a page type record is created in the posts table with the “reviews” slug and the shortcode [reviews_page] added to the post body.
Also, when activating the plugin, just like in the case of contact forms, the reviews-style.tss and reviews-form.js files are copied to the “css” and “js” directories located in the “assets” directory of the active theme, respectively. Existing files are also not
are overwritten, so you can also set your own review styles unique to each theme. When activating a new theme, the plugin will also have to be activated again. -
How can a developer use this plugin in his individual project?
-
In order to start building their project, the developer simply needs to rename the plugin directory, the main plugin file and the plugin prefix (altss_). Attention! This must be done before activating the plugin.
