# Configuration

Open the configuration via **Administration → Extensions → My extensions → Blog System → ⋯ → Configuration**.

Every setting is **per sales channel** — pick the desired sales channel from the dropdown at the top of the dialog. When you leave a setting empty, the global default applies.

## General

* **Activate plugin** — turns the blog feature on for the selected sales channel. While the switch is off, the magazine area is unreachable in the shop.
* **Enable reviews** — shows or hides the review system (stars, form, list) in the shop. The review engine itself is part of the premium feature set.
* **Show author details** — allows links to the author detail page. When off, author names render as plain text.

## RSS feed

* **Number of items** — how many articles appear at most in the feed under `/blog/feed` (default 20).
* **Feed description** — short description shown in the feed. When empty, the feed uses your magazine title.

## Category assignments

* **Magazine category** — the Shopware category every article URL nests below. Drives the breadcrumb and the SEO path (e.g. `/magazine/my-article`).
* **Authors category** — optionally the category hosting the author pages. Drives the breadcrumb for `/blog/authors` and `/blog/author/{name}`.

{% hint style="info" %}
Both can be plain structure nodes (no product listing). What you display there is entirely up to you — the plugin doesn't overwrite anything.
{% endhint %}

## Default layouts

* **Article detail layout** — used for articles that don't choose an individual layout. Default: "Blog detail page (PremSoft)".
* **Authors overview layout** — default: "Blog authors listing page (PremSoft)".
* **Author detail layout** — default: "Blog author detail page (PremSoft)".

You can build your own layouts in Shopping Experiences using the page type **"Blog page (PremSoft)"** (for detail) or **"Shop page"** / **"Category page"** (for listings) and select them here.
