Plugins and plugin settings

In the site admin, open Plugins to inspect installed plugins and the actions your role can take.

Checked against the product’s code on 7 November 2026.

Plugins is EmDash’s installed plugin manager. Hosted Praxis has no plugin installation or update source. Choosing a Praxis theme is separate from managing plugins.

Only an Admin can change plugins on the screen. The copilot offers its plugin requests only to Admins. The copilot cannot install or update plugins. The supplied plugins are the platform’s own, so it refuses to switch them off or remove them. It pauses for approval before switching one on or changing its non-secret settings. Switching a platform plugin on offers no Undo. It will not change a setting the plugin marks as private. Ask “Which plugins are on?” to check their current state.

Inspect an installed plugin

1. Open Plugins.
2. Expand the intended plugin.
3. Inspect its source, version, the features it provides, pages and widgets.
4. Use the settings icon on its row to open its own configuration when it has one.

Enter secret settings only in their trusted screen fields. A stored secret can be shown as already set without revealing its value. Use the offered clear or replacement action rather than putting a secret into chat.

Enable or update

These are EmDash’s own screen controls, separate from the copilot requests above.

Disabling stops the plugin’s behavior while retaining its stored data. Pages or features that depend on it can change.

1. Find the intended plugin.
2. Use its enable or disable control.
3. Check its resulting state.

Check for updates needs an update source. Hosted Praxis has none, so it does not provide an update path.

Copilot receipts. If a change to a site extension, called a plugin, saves but the copilot cannot check the result, its receipt says so. Check Plugins before repeating the change, and use Undo only when offered. If Undo cannot read the current value, it changes nothing and asks you to try again. If it saves the reversal but cannot read it back, its reply says so.

Remove a plugin

The supplied platform plugins have no Uninstall control. EmDash shows it for marketplace or registry plugins; hosted Praxis has neither source.

In an Uninstall dialog, Also delete plugin storage data permanently deletes that data. Leaving it off retains the data, but the plugin stops running. An uninstall has no automatic Undo.

Registry and marketplace detail screens describe a particular plugin before installation. A registered theme marketplace route is separate from Praxis Theme Studio; its presence does not make a marketplace theme a Praxis theme recipe.
