Where every theme setting lives
Every global setting the theme adds sits in one panel: AppearanceCustomizeTheme Options. You can also click Customize in the admin bar while viewing the front end, which opens the preview on the page you were looking at.
Changes preview live and go public when you click Publish.
#What each section controls
- General
RTL support, animations, the preloader, the scroll to top button, breadcrumbs, the default color scheme, and the boxed or full width layout.
- Branding
The logo, the mini logo, their dark mode versions, and the copyright notice printed in the footer.
- Social
Your social profiles. Add them once here and they feed the navigation, the footer, and the fixed social bar.
- Color Scheme
Primary, text, background, and accent colors, set separately for light and dark mode.
- Typography
Fonts, plus the sizes of headings, body text, and meta text.
- Navigation
The header bar, its mobile version, category sub menus, and the bookmarks panel.
- Footer
The footer style and each block inside it.
- Blog
Archive grids, archive headers, post meta visibility, and the bookmarks page.
- Single Post
Single post layout, meta elements, ad placements, and related content.
- Post Reviews
The review system: criteria, colors, and where the review block appears.
- Top Banner
The announcement bar above the header.
- Performance
Switches that drop unused WordPress features from the front end, such as emojis, embeds, jQuery Migrate, Dashicons, and XML-RPC.
- Layout
Container widths, border radii, opacity levels, shadows, and overlay colors.
#Settings that are not in the Customizer
Four things you will look for in Theme Options and not find there.
Menus are at AppearanceMenus. The theme registers three locations: Navigation Menu for the header, Copyright Menu for the links beside the footer copyright, and Navigation CTA Menu for the call to action in the header.
Widget areas are at AppearanceWidgets: Footer sidebar, Footer sidebar 2, Single sidebar, Offcanvas sidebar, and Content sidebar.
Per page and per post overrides are in the Navigation Settings box in the right sidebar of the editor. Each toggle there turns off one element on that page alone: the navigation, the top banner, the scroll to top button, or the fixed social bar.
Pages that came with the demo, such as the login page or the about page, are ordinary WordPress pages built with Elementor. Open the page and click Edit with Elementor.
