Settings page tour

This is a reference tour of the Structura → Settings page and the related Visuals page. Most settings are good to leave on their defaults. Where a setting affects something important, we link out to the page that covers it in depth.

General Settings (Settings → General)

Page title: “General Settings.” Subtitle: “Global Architecture Control.”

A Save Changes button at the bottom commits whatever you’ve changed. It shows “Syncing…” briefly while saving.

Data Persistence (danger zone)

  • Wipe all data on uninstall (toggle) — if enabled, deleting the plugin permanently removes all Campaigns and Personas from your WordPress database. Disabled by default.

This is a deliberate high-consequence switch. Leave it off unless you’re certain you’re not coming back or migrating. See Full uninstall (wipe all data).

Diagnostics

  • Run diagnostics (button) — checks this WordPress install for conditions Structura can’t detect from the cloud side: WP-Cron is enabled, the plugin version is at or above the cloud’s minimum, and any known compatibility issues.

Any findings are reported to your Notices so you can act on them from one place. The card also shows a one-line summary of the last run.

This is on-demand only — Structura doesn’t probe your environment on every page load. Run it when something feels off, or as part of a support conversation.

Public website

  • My public website lives elsewhere (headless mode) (toggle) — off by default. Turn on if your readers visit a different website (e.g. xerx.io) and this WordPress install is just the editorial backend.
  • Quick setup button — detects the public URL from this install, scrapes the public site, and pre-fills description + key pages. Operator reviews before applying.
  • Public website URL, Description, Key pages, Post URL pattern, Default language for URLs — what Structura uses when grounding AI suggestions and composing post URLs for channel shares.

Most installs leave this collapsed to “Inherits everything from this WordPress install.” For setups that don’t, see Headless mode for the full walkthrough.

Visuals (Settings → Visuals)

Page title: “Visuals.” Subtitle: “Image Generation & Optimization Engine.”

Top-right Save Changes button (same behaviour as General).

Global Image Style

  • Brand Resources — URLs for logos, guidelines, design-system references. Add with Add Resource.
  • Suggest Image Style — AI-drafts a Global Art Direction using your Brand Resources.
  • Generate Image Style — runs similar AI drafting, using the current Global Art Direction as a starting point.
  • Global Art Direction (textarea) — the directive Structura applies to every generated image.

See Featured images & visuals for how to write a good Global Art Direction.

Output Dimensions

  • 1:1 Square Format
  • 4:3 Classic Professional
  • 3:4 Standard Portrait
  • 16:9 Cinematic Landscape
  • 9:16 Vertical Portrait

Pick the aspect ratio your theme needs.

Format Encoding (BYOK and above)

  • WebP (Smallest File) — default, best for page speed.
  • JPEG (Standard Compatibility) — universal, slightly larger.
  • PNG (Lossless) — largest, only use if transparency matters.

SEO Automation (always on)

Alt-text and human-friendly, SEO-ready filenames are generated automatically for every image — there’s no toggle. The card just confirms it’s active.

AI Engine (Settings → AI Engine)

Covered in its own page: AI settings.

Account & License

Covered in its own page: License keys & site activations.

Saving changes

All Settings pages share the same save pattern:

  • Click Save Changes when done.
  • A “Syncing…” indicator appears briefly.
  • A success toast confirms the save.
  • If the save fails (network issue, invalid value), an error toast explains what went wrong; you can retry.

Settings aren’t saved automatically — if you navigate away without saving, your edits are discarded. Standard WordPress admin pattern.
