Settings Recommendations

    1. Heartbeat Control is an excellent plugin and important for many people
    2. Helpful documentation is not one of its strong points
    3. It is not clear what settings are appropriate, or even what the options mean

    I hope that this thread can serve to help many users determine the best setting options to use. I hope that users of the plugin can comment on what settings they use – and why. If enough users post their settings and tell why they chose them, others will have a better idea of what setting options to choose for themselves. If this thread ends up being helpful, the plugin author can make it a sticky thread.

    There are some blog posts available online about the plugin, but most pre-date the latest version, in which the options have changed.

    In your replies to this thread, you can do two things: (1) Explain what each settings option means; (2) Post your settings, and tell why they are appropriate for your situation.

    Please offer explanations for each of the three current settings: Heartbeat Behavior; Locations; Frequency.

    Let’s help this plugin by providing crowd-sourced documentation. Thanks!

    With the release of the latest version, settings should now be a bit more clear.

    To be honest – no. I wouldn’t even know what a standard setting could be and if I have to change the initial setting.

    Hi Jeff, and thanks for this excellent plugin. But I must agree with bluemi: it is not clear what settings to choose.

    I’d still like to know what exactly each option does, and hear from users about what settings they chose, and why. I hope that we can leave this thread open, and that some of the plugin’s users can give more input.

    The instructions on the plugin homepage are very sparse and the plugin settings page isn’t as helpful as some might like, especially those who don’t understand what the heartbeat is, what it does and how it works, and how we can effect it. Jeff has already done the hard work of creating the plugin; hopefully some of the users can chip in with documentation and explanations.
