Questions
Common questions.
How do I change a base path?
PimiDocs → Settings. The old base is kept in a history list and requests to it are 301-redirected to the new address.
Can I switch between single and multi product mode?
Yes. The previous bases are retired into the redirect history, so existing links keep working.
Can two articles have the same slug?
In multi product mode, yes, as long as they belong to different products.
Does it work with my theme?
Block themes design the docs views in the Site Editor. Classic themes copy any template into a pimi-docs/ folder in the theme.
What happens if I uninstall?
Only the plugin’s settings are removed. Articles, categories and products stay in your database.
