Here are the descriptions of the individual options available in the general settings.

The Form Status option allows you to enable or disable the form on the front end of your site. The Form Title is the main title of the form, used to identify the form across various locations.

The Form Alias serves as the form’s nickname and is used in the shortcode. It should not contain any special characters or spaces; instead, use an underscore (_) to replace spaces, and ensure the alias is unique across all forms.

Lock Content is an optional field where you can enter the content to display after a user successfully subscribes. The content can also be locked directly in your page or post editor using the built-in lock button within the WYSIWYG Editor.

For Lock Modes, you have two options: hard lock and soft lock. A hard lock completely hides the content, while a soft lock blurs it.

The Verification and Verification Type option lets you enable content unlocking only after subscribers verify their email addresses. There are two verification methods: through a link or a code. When you choose Verification through Link, subscribers must click a verification link sent to their email to unlock the content.

With Verification through Code, subscribers receive a code to unlock the content by entering it in a verification code box. You can also set the Verification Expire Duration, specifying the number of hours the verification link or code remains valid.

After verification, you can choose whether to show an unlock message or redirect to the form page.

The Unlock Link Message allows you to customize the message displayed when the unlock link is clicked. If you enable Double Opt-In, the unlock link will only be sent to subscribers after they click a subscription confirmation link. You can also set an Opt-In Confirmation Message to confirm the subscription.

The Don’t Remember Email option can be checked if you don’t want to check whether the subscriber’s email has already been subscribed. The Unlock for Logged-in Users option can be enabled to allow content unlocking for users who are logged in.

For form interactions, the Form Success Message is displayed to users when the subscription is successful. If users fail to fill out the required fields, they’ll see the Form Required Error Message. If the email can’t be sent due to an invalid email or server issues, the Form Error Message will appear.

Finally, if you have configured the necessary credentials for Mailchimp or Constant Contact in the plugin’s settings section, you will see options related to these lists at the end of the General Settings panel. These options allow you to select which list to use for your form and you can choose the required list in which the subscriber will be automatically subscribed.
