Theme Settings - General

Overview

This page covers everything inside the main Theme Settings screen. It's organised into tabs along the top - General, Footer, Layout, License, Demo Setup. The sibling sub-pages Colors and Strings live underneath in the WP admin sidebar and have their own dedicated pages.

Find it under Theme Settings in the WP admin sidebar.

General tab

The most-touched tab - branding, fonts, the affiliate link prefix, the disclosure copy, social profiles, slug overrides, archive pages, analytics.

Branding

FieldWhat it does
Site logoShown in the header. Recommended 240×60px @2x = 480×120px SVG or PNG with transparency.
Color ThemeDropdown that picks the active color palette - Default, Dark, Bubblegum, and any custom themes you've added. The individual variable overrides live on the Colors sub-page.

Affiliate

FieldWhat it does
Affiliate Link PrefixThe first URL segment for all cloaked affiliate links - default visit, giving pretty URLs like /visit/{slug}/. Change to go, out, to, or anything else that fits your brand. See Affiliate Links.
Affiliate Disclosure TextRich-text disclaimer shown in disclosure popovers across product pages. FTC compliance is a strict requirement in many regions - don't leave this empty.

Fonts

Two slots, picked from the bundled font set:

FieldWhat it controls
Heading FontUsed on H1-H6 throughout the site.
Content FontUsed on paragraph + UI text.

Bundled fonts: Inter, Inter Tight, Manrope, Plus Jakarta Sans, Outfit, DM Sans, Sora, Space Grotesk, Geist.

Font pairing

Pick contrasting fonts - e.g. Inter Tight headings + Inter body. The same font for both reads fine but is less visually interesting. The demo importer applies a random pairing each run if you want to A/B test pairings.

A repeater of {Platform, URL} rows surfaced in the footer and (optionally) in the navigation. Supported platforms include Twitter / X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Telegram, Pinterest. An Email field is also available for a mailto: row.

Post slugs

Override the slug used in URLs for the Author and Blog post types:

FieldWhat it does
Author SlugDefault author. Change if you want /reviewers/{name}/ instead of /author/{name}/.
Blog SlugDefault blog. Change to whatever fits your IA (articles, news, posts).

Save permalinks (Settings → Permalinks) after changing slugs to flush the rewrite cache.

Archive pages

FieldWhat it does
Authors Archive PagePick a page used as the landing page for /{author-slug}/. Lets you add intro copy / blocks on top of the auto-generated author grid.

FieldWhat it does
Show Cookie NoticeToggle the built-in cookie consent banner. Copy is editable in Strings.
Google Tag Manager IDDrops the GTM snippet site-wide.
GA4GA4 measurement ID. Embedded only if no GTM ID is set, so you can use either without doubling up.

Footer-specific content. The Footer style is picked on the Layout tab; this tab is for what goes inside it.

FieldWhat it does

Footer Copyright TextBottom-bar copyright line. Supports {year} and {site_name} placeholders.

Layout tab
