Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have multiple gardens on my site?

Yes! Each Message Garden block is independent with its own unique ID, so you can have as many gardens as you like.

How does moderation work?

You can enable moderation in the block settings. When enabled, new flower submissions will require approval before appearing in the garden. Manage pending submissions from the "Message Garden" menu in your WordPress admin.

Can I customize which words are filtered?

Yes, the profanity filter can be customized using the bloom_garden_profanity_list filter hook.

How do I change the rate limit?

Go to Message Garden > Settings in your WordPress admin to adjust the rate limiting period or the Moderation tab in any individual garden block.
