When you delete the footer text, PrestaShop might give you this error: "Please provide footer text for the default language". This is because when you first enter a footer text, PrestaShop replicates it in all the available languages. When you delete the text, you must therefore delete it from all the available languages: first delete the text from the default language, then click on the language selector next to the text field, choose another language, and delete the content of the field again. Do this for every language. You can then save your changes, and PrestaShop will not display the error anymore. |

- Configuration.
- All comments must be validated by an employee. This makes sure that no spam or insult ever appears on your live site, which could ruin your content. Note that in some countries, validating content is akin to publishing them yourself, and therefore can make you responsible for their content.
- Allow guest comments. You can allow non-logged visitors to publish comments too. Be careful, as this can greatly increase spam comments.
- Minimum time between 2 comments from the same user. This prevents spam bot to fill your inbox with comments – or at least limits the impact.
- Moderate Comments. If you chose to have comments validated by your staff before they are public, they will be displayed in this section, and can choose to put them offline if you feel they are detrimental.
- Reported Comments. Customers can click a "Report abuse" link on any comment, which will bring it to your attention here. You can choose to dismiss the report and accept the comment, or remove the comment altogether.
- Add a new comment criterion. You can motive your customers to leave comments by providing them with criteria, or "themes": text fields with a title indicating what the comment should be about, such as "scent", "taste", "robustness". This helps your customers come up with ideas for their comment.
- Name. The name is visible to your customers, so choose a short and specific one.
- Apply to. You can choose to have the chosen criterion field appear on all products ("Valid for the entire catalog"), or on a set of products.
If you choose to restrict the criterion to a subset of your catalog (either some categories or some products), a new section will appear after saving your criterion: "Manage criterions scope". See below. - Active. You can disable a criterion at any time.
- Manage criterions scope. This section only appears when you have at least one criterion that is restricted to a subset of your catalog.
In the drop-down list, choose the criterion for which you want to set the scope. The page will reload with a table of all your categories or products (depending on the scope choice). Check the boxes for all the items that apply, and validate. - Manage Comments. This is where all the public comments appear. You can choose to delete them by clicking on the Delete icon, either one by one or in batch.

Product payment logos block
Displays the logos of the available payment systems on the product page.
Products category
On each product page, displays suggestions of other products that are in the same category. This module is particularly useful for discovering what your shop has to offer.
...
- Block title. Give the block a comprehensible name: you might not want your visitors to think that the content displayed is from your own website.
- Add a feed URL. Do not put your shop's address in this field, as it could create an error.
- Number of threads displayed. Usually, a RSS feed contains 10 to 20 of the latest articles from the source website. You could limit that to 5 or fewer, in order to not clutter your homepage with content other than your products.
RSS products feed (RSS Feed)
Enables you to generate a RSS Product feed for your shop's catalog. A RSS feed is a website content syndication format, which enables anyone to display the latest content from a website on another.
With this module, loyal customers will be able to get regular updates about products added to your catalog, by adding this feed to their own feed reader, without the need to subscribe to your newsletter. Also, other websites will be able to display your new products on their page. Finally, search engines may use it to discover your new content.
