I activated the plugin, what next?
Visit yoursite.com/ideas and you'll see the button to submit and a message saying there's no ideas. You can change the slug and welcome message in settings, and you can change the empty message with filters. You can also deactivate the archive and go commando with the shortcode option.


Does this only work for logged in users?
Yes. However this may change depending on the amount of users requesting this feature. We do not have a need for it in our use case, but that doesn't mean we won't introduce the feature.


How does this store stuff?
Currently post_meta and user_meta tables are being used.


Can I override the layout?
Yep. Copy the file from idea-factory/templates/template-ideas into your theme and it will use your file instead. Note, you'll need to keep track of updates to the source file and update accordingly. Check out using hooks, actions, or filters for adding, or changing things.


It's not emailing me.
It's probably your host. Check to make sure that wp_mail() works on your host.


Can I change the "ideas" word?
Yep check out the settings, there's an option to change it there. Don't forget to save permalinks afterwards.


Can I change the number of ideas shown at once?
This will currently match whatever you have set under Reading settings in WordPress. You can easily change this with a pre_get_posts filter, but isn't offered as an option directly within the plugin at this time.
