Advanced Usage
Custom Keywords
You can add your own keywords to hide specific promotions or review requests. For example:
- To hide “Early Bird” offers: add early bird to Custom Promo Keywords.
- To hide “Beta Tester” requests: add beta tester to Custom Review Keywords.
Each field accepts a comma-separated list of phrases. Matching is done in a simple “contains text” way, case-insensitive.
Hooks for Developers
You can filter the default keyword lists using these filters:
- brosclad_promo_words – filter the default promo words array.
- brosclad_review_words – filter the default review words array.
Example:
add_filter( 'brosclad_promo_words', function( $words ) { $words[] = 'early bird'; return $words; } );
