The General Settings module is the central configuration area of Eventixa. It allows administrators to configure how the plugin behaves across the entire website, including event pages, bookings, checkout, emails, payments, display options, and advanced system features.
Rather than configuring individual events one by one, General Settings provide global defaults and preferences that are applied throughout your Eventixa installation. These settings help ensure a consistent experience for administrators, event organizers, and attendees.
Available in: Eventixa Core
Additional settings available in: Eventixa Pro

Relationship with Other Modules
General Settings affect almost every Eventixa feature.
| Module | How General Settings Affect It |
|---|---|
| Events | Controls default event behavior and frontend presentation. |
| Tickets | Influences ticket display, booking workflow, and related settings. |
| Bookings | Configures booking process and checkout behavior. |
| Attendees | Affects attendee communications and registration experience. |
| Emails | Controls notification templates and sender information. |
| Payments | Determines how paid registrations are processed. |
| Reports | Uses configured data formats, localization, and payment information. |
| Waitlist | Works with booking, email, and event settings to manage waitlisted attendees. |
| QR Tickets & Check-In | Uses email, booking, and ticket settings during ticket generation and validation. |
Because General Settings are shared across multiple modules, changes made here can influence the behavior of several Eventixa features.
Best Practices
- Review General Settings before publishing your first event.
- Configure all required frontend pages immediately after installation.
- Verify your email configuration before accepting registrations.
- Test the complete booking workflow after changing payment or checkout settings.
- Review display settings on both desktop and mobile devices.
- Keep integrations and license information up to date to ensure access to premium features.
- Revisit your settings periodically as your event platform grows and your requirements change.
Tips
- General Settings are global, meaning changes apply across your Eventixa installation unless a feature provides event-specific options.
- Save your changes after updating each settings category to ensure they are applied correctly.
- Test significant configuration changes—such as payment, email, or page settings—using a sample event before applying them to live events.
- As new Eventixa features are added, additional settings may become available within these categories, allowing you to expand your event platform without changing its overall configuration workflow.
