This function runs automatically, so it is not called manually. Is this incorrect?

Additional Notes

This function used to override many plugins’ settings, but is down to just Yoast SEO now. It may grow or shrink as plugin annoyances come and go.

    Override

    To override this PHP function, use this hook in your child theme or plugin ("my_custom" can be changed):

    PHP
    add_filter('pre_nebula_plugin_force_settings', 'my_custom_plugin_force_settings'); 
    function my_custom_plugin_force_settings(){ 
        //Write your own code here
    
        return true; //Return true to prevent the original function from running afterwords
    }

    You can completely disable this PHP function with a single line actions:

    PHP
     add_filter('pre_nebula_plugin_force_settings', '__return_false');
