General Customisation

After activation, you'll find a new menu item for GeeK! Movie & Game Database in your WordPress dashboard.

Dashboard Menu

Custom Pages

When you access the plugin through the admin menu, you will be automatically redirected to the Custom Pages page. The plugin will ask you to create necessary pages for its functioning. You may choose to deactivate these pages and remove them from visibility, but it is crucial that the pages for Movies, Games, and TV Shows remain publicly accessible. These designated pages are where the lists will be published. After making the necessary adjustments in your own Pages menu, you can set up your preferred pages from here. This action will unlock other menu accesses related to the plugin.

Custom Pages can be changed again, but before doing so, remember to delete the old pages in the Pages section. Afterwards, you can create new pages again from GeeK! -> GeeK! -> General Settings -> Custom Pages

Custom Post Types

The GeeK plugin adds several custom post types to your WordPress site during installation:

- **Movie:** Registered as 'gp_movie' slug: movie
- **TV Show:** Registered as 'gp_tvshow' slug:tv
- **Episode:** Registered as 'gp_episode' slug:episode
- **Game:** Registered as 'gp_game' slug:game
- **Comic:** Registered as 'gp_comic' slug:comic
- **Person:** Registered as 'gp_person' slug:name
- **Character:** Registered as 'gp_char' slug: character
- **Company:** Registered as 'gp_comp' slug:company
- **Platform:** Registered as 'gp_platform' slug: platform
- **Engine:** Registered as 'gp_engine' slug: engine
- **Universe:** Registered as 'gp_universe' slug: universe
- **Family:** Registered as 'gp_family' slug: family
- **List:** Registered as 'gp_list' slug: list

These custom post types allow you to organize your content effectively within the GeeK plugin. Custom Post Types determine the permalink structure for entries, such as a movie or game. When you input data for a movie or game, it is added under the defined custom posts. For instance, adding a movie titled "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" would normally result in it being accessible at the URL yoursite.com/movie/lord-of-the-rings-fellowship-of-the-ring. Each custom post type, like "movie" has a slug. To modify this slug, adjustments need to be made within your theme's functions.php file.

External Link Settings

On the pages of the movies or games you have entered, if their IDs are provided, links to IMDb or IGDB are available. You may choose to disable these external backlinks if you wish. However, if you are sourcing your data from these sites, the responsibility for disabling the backlinks falls entirely on the user.

External Link Settings

To do this, go to GeeK! -> GeeK! -> General Settings -> Settings and toggle the desired link to on or off.
