When changes take effect
Section titled “When changes take effect”The addon decides which tabs, activities, and notifications to wire up when each page request starts, based on the saved toggles. A saved change therefore takes effect on the next request. If a change does not appear immediately, reload the page.
Where settings are stored
Section titled “Where settings are stored”All fields are saved inside the shared Reign theme option reign_options, under the section reign_geodirectory (BuddyPress) or reign_peepso_geodirectory (PeepSo). The addon does not create its own option row for these settings. See Settings and Data Storage for detail.
