Parameters and Options

The tabbed panel below the editor, where you override the site-wide settings for one page, post, project or product.

The Customizer sets how your whole site looks. Parameters and Options is where you change that for one piece of content, hide the footer on a single landing page, use a different logo on the contact page, give one blog post a full-width featured image.

Where to find it: edit any post, page, portfolio item or product, then scroll below the content editor to the box titled Parameters and Options.

How the panel behaves

Three things about this panel confuse people, and all three are by design.

Tabs appear and disappear. A tab only shows when it applies, the right post type, the right post format, the right project layout. This is why the panel looks completely different on a blog post than on a portfolio item, and why changing one dropdown can make new tabs appear.

"Use from Theme Options" means the Customizer decides. Almost every dropdown starts there (sometimes worded Inherit from Theme Options). Choose anything else and this one item overrides the site-wide setting. To go back, set it to Use from Theme Options again.

For dropdowns, clearing a field is not the same as choosing Use from Theme Options. For color and spacing fields, though, an empty value does mean "inherit", so you can override one color and leave the rest alone.

Your last tab is remembered. Reopen the same item and the panel returns to where you left it.

Which tabs appear where

Tab	Post	Page	Portfolio item	Product

Portfolio Settings catches everyone out. It appears on a page, one using the Portfolio page template, not on a portfolio item. It configures the listing, not an individual project.

Page Options

Available on everything. These settings are about the frame around your content (the header, the footer, the heading, the container width) rather than the content itself.

Header Options

Header Position Use from Theme Options · Content Below (Static) · Over the Content (Absolute). Choosing Over the Content makes the header transparent and sits it on top of the page, which is what you want when a page opens with a full-width image.

Header Spacing Only appears when the position is Over the Content. Sets how much room to leave so your content isn't hidden behind the header.

Full-width Header Extends the header to the edges of the browser window on this page.

Header Styling Set this to Yes and a complete set of color overrides appears for this page alone, background, borders, padding, text, submenu colors, mobile menu colors, and separate normal / hover / active colors for links and menu pills.

Empty values are ignored, so you can override a single color and leave everything else as it is.

In Page Options

Heading Title

Controls the title area at the top of the page.

Heading Title On or off. The rest of the tab only appears when it's on.

Page Title Type Show this post title or Enter custom title, useful when the page's real title is long and you want something shorter on screen.

Page Heading Description Type Use this post description or Enter custom description.

Logo & Menu

Custom Logo and Custom Logo Width A different logo on this page. The width is the maximum in pixels, which matters if you upload a retina (@2x) image.

Sticky Header Use from Theme Options · Enable · Disable. This is how you turn the sticky header off on one page.

Custom Sticky Logo A different logo for when the header is stuck to the top.

Sticky Header Style Appears when sticky is set to Enable, a full set of color and spacing overrides for the sticky state on this page.

Footer Options

Footer Visibility Use from Theme Options · Show footer on this page · Hide footer on this page. This is how you hide the footer on a landing page.

Fixed Footer Use from Theme Options · Normal · three Fixed to Bottom variants: no animation, fade, or slide.

Other Options

Custom Container Width Turn this on to set a different content width for this page. It reveals Container Width (Large, Medium, Small or Custom) and a slider when you pick Custom.

Fullwidth container Appears with the same toggle and overrides the width entirely, running the content edge to edge. Turning it on hides Container Width.

Breadcrumb

Breadcrumb Inherit from Theme Options · Enable · Disable. Everything below appears only when set to Enable.

The rest (background and text color, border type and color, radius, margins and alignment) overrides the site-wide breadcrumb styling for this page. Leave a color empty to inherit it.

Breadcrumbs need the Breadcrumb NavXT plugin. Without it these fields do nothing. See Breadcrumbs.

---

Custom CSS

Custom Page Style CSS that applies to this item only. Don't wrap it in <style> tags, just the CSS itself.

Good for a one-off tweak on a single page. For anything you'll reuse, a CSS snippet or Additional CSS is a better home.

Custom CSS

Post Settings

On blog posts only.

Featured Image Placing Use from Theme Options · Boxed · Wide · Full Width · Hide Featured Image. This is how one post gets a full-width header image when the rest are boxed.

Image Size Use from Theme Options · Default Thumbnail Size · Original Image Size. Hidden when the image is set to be hidden.

Show Related Posts Inherit from Theme Options · Show · Hide.

The Show Related Posts options read "Products" on screen. On a blog post they control related posts. It's a wording slip in the theme, not a sign you're on the wrong setting.

Tabs that depend on the post format

Set the post Format first, and a matching tab appears:

Format	Tab	What's in it
Video	Video Post Settings	Video Resolution, Auto Play Video
Audio	Audio Post Settings	Auto Play Audio
Gallery	Post Slider Images	The gallery images

Portfolio item tabs

Portfolio items have the most settings, because the project layouts differ so much from one another.

Project Layout -> Item Type is the first choice, and it decides what else you see: Side Portfolio, Columned, Carousel, Zig Zag, Fullscreen, Lightbox or Design Your Own.

The tabs change as soon as you pick a different Item Type. You don't need to save first.

The remaining tabs are:

General Details A sub-title under the project title, and custom previous/next navigation.

Featured Video Replaces the featured image with a video. Autoplay is muted automatically.

Other Settings Hover colors and effects for this project's thumbnail in the grid.

Project Link The "Launch website" button and where the thumbnail leads.

Checklists Lists of details shown alongside the project.

Project Gallery The project's images, videos, sliders, comparisons and quotes.

Each layout is covered in full in its own article:

Creating a Portfolio Item

Lightbox items have no Project Link, Checklists or Project Gallery tabs. They never open a page, so everything is set on the Lightbox tab itself.

Design Your Own has no layout tab at all, you build that one with the page builder.

Portfolio Settings: on a page

This tab appears on a page using the Portfolio page template, and it configures the listing: how many columns, which items appear, the hover effect, whether it's a masonry grid.

When a tab is missing

The whole panel is missing. Advanced Custom Fields Pro powers this panel and must be active. It's bundled with Kalium. Install it from Kalium -> Plugins.

You changed Item Type and nothing appeared. The tabs swap as soon as the dropdown changes. If they didn't, reload the editor.

You're looking for portfolio listing settings on a project. They're on the page that uses the Portfolio template.

The format tabs aren't showing on a post. Set the post Format first.

The Breadcrumb fields are grayed out. Breadcrumb NavXT isn't installed, or Breadcrumb isn't set to Enable.
