3. Click the gear icon in the row of the Default level.

4. In the popup window, change the label for the feature level if you wish to and then press Next and then configure features for the Default level.

Assigning a feature level

Assign manually

You can assign a feature level to listings by editing each listing from the backend and selecting a feature level from a dropdown in the Feature level metabox.

Note that the Feature level metabox will not be displayed if only the Default feature level is available.

Assign by user role

A feature level can be assigned by user role automatically to each listing during frontend submission. You can select a feature level for each user role in the Submission restriction settings. Make sure to select Restrict by WordPress user role for Restriction type.

Assign by payment plan

You can map a feature level to each payment plan when adding or editing a payment plan, so that you do not need to configure features for each payment plan.

Assign by user membership

If there are user membership plans (See Memberships) on your site, a feature level can be assigned by user membership automatically to each listing during frontend submission. You can select a feature level for each membership payment plan in the Submission restriction settings. Make sure to select Restrict by user membership for Restriction type.
