Settings » Advanced Settings holds the more specific settings that control website behavior. The settings are grouped into six tabs across the top of the page:
Each tab is divided into sections. The section list on the left (3) jumps to a section within the open tab, and the Search box (2) at the right of the tabs (1) searches every tab at once:
Finding a Setting
Type in the Search box (1) to find a setting. Search matches the text shown for each setting: its name, its help text, its system variable and its default value, plus the value currently entered in its field. Each tab with a match shows how many settings matched (2), the first tab with a match opens automatically, and the section list (3) shows only the sections that contain a match. Click the X in the search box, or press Escape, to clear the search. When nothing matches, the page shows No Matches Found with a Clear Search button.
Reading a Setting
Every setting shows its name, then:
- One line of help text. Click More to read the full description (and Less to collapse it again). Some settings also include a Learn More link to related documentation.
- The setting itself: a switch, a text field, a dropdown, a list of checkboxes, or an order builder (see How to Activate the Settings below).
- Variable: the setting's system variable, with a button that copies it. Hover over the variable to see the full name when it is too long to display.
- Default: the setting's default value, with a button that copies it. The circular-arrow Restore Default Value button at the start of the chip is available only when the current value differs from the default; it fills the default into the field as an unsaved change, which Save applies and Discard or Ctrl+Z undoes. Settings without a default show only the Variable chip.
1. Global

It improves website performance by optimizing the delivery of Google Maps JavaScript files. When enabled, the system only loads the required JavaScript files when a Google Maps feature or location autocomplete functionality is requested on a page.
This helps reduce unnecessary resource loading and can improve page load times, especially on pages where Google Maps functionality is not required.
If a customized widget or a member listing post setting is not compatible with this setting, turning the switch on shows a Setting Not Compatible message and the switch stays off. A warning under the setting names each widget or post setting causing the conflict, with a link to it, so it can be updated or restored to its default:
