Settings Reference

This page covers the global Lite settings available in:

• Settings -> Vareon Calculator Suite

These settings affect block embeds and shortcodes unless you explicitly override them per embed.

Theme Preset

Controls the default Lite theme used across calculators.

Available presets:

• Light
• Dark
• Modern

Use this when you want one consistent default look across the site.

Branding

Controls whether the Powered by Vareon credit appears below calculators by default.

• On: branding is shown unless an individual block or shortcode overrides it
• Off: branding is hidden unless an individual block or shortcode overrides it

Shortcode override examples:

[vareon type="loan" branding="1"]
[vareon type="loan" branding="0"]

Currency

Sets the default currency used by finance calculators.

This affects the symbol and formatting context used for calculators like:

• Loan
• Mortgage
• Savings
• Credit Card Payoff
• ROI

Currency Position

Controls where the currency symbol appears:

• Before amount, such as $100
• After amount, such as 100$

Thousand Separator

Controls how large numbers are grouped.

Available options:

• Comma: 1,000,000
• Dot: 1.000.000
• Space: 1 000 000
• None: 1000000

Decimal Separator

Controls how decimals are displayed.

Available options:

• Dot: 100.50
• Comma: 100,50

Measurement System

Controls the default measurement mode used by calculators that support unit systems.

Available options:

• Mixed
• Metric
• Imperial

This is especially relevant for calculators like:

• BMI
• Fuel Cost
• Unit Converter

Auto-Calculate

Controls whether supported calculators update automatically while the user types.

• Enabled: calculation runs on input
• Disabled: users rely on the calculator action button

Lite uses a fixed interaction delay for this setting rather than exposing a fully custom delay control.

How Global Settings Interact with Per-Embed Overrides

Global settings are defaults.

Per-block or per-shortcode settings override them when explicitly set.

Examples:

• A shortcode with no theme uses the global theme preset
• A shortcode with theme="dark" uses dark even if the global theme is light
• A block with branding left untouched uses the global branding setting

Recommended Setup Pattern

For most sites:

1. Set your site-wide theme and formatting once in plugin settings
2. Use per-embed overrides only when a page needs something different
3. Keep most embeds on the global defaults for consistency
