Theme Options

Configure global settings, menus, header, footer, and widgets.

Navigate to Appearance > Theme Settings in the Admin Sidebar.

The options here are very clear:

General Settings

Here you can add a logo or title for the Navigation. You can also specify the Footer type - its Background Type, Text and Text Color. The footer widgets can be added via the Appearance > Widgets menu where they can be put into four Footer Columns.

The Google API Key field is for the proper usage of the Google Maps throughout the theme.

The Mailchimp API Key and Mailchimp List ID are used in the Mailchimp Widgets in the theme.

Layout Settings

Here you can change the Main Colors and the Fonts of the theme.

Notice: The selected colors and fonts WILL NOT overwrite the Default Fonts and Colors used in the default Elementor Widgets - those that come with the plugin. They are adjusted from the Elementor Settings - you can follow their detailed guide on how to set them up here.


Setting Up the Menu

To customize the navigation menu go to Appearance > Menus and customize it as you'll normally do on a WordPress site.

Don't forget to check the Theme Location at the bottom of the page to select where you want it to be displayed.

The theme comes with the Elementor – Header, Footer & Blocks plugin (make sure you have it installed and activated as described in Installing Theme) that allows you to easily create headers and footers using the Elementor builder.

Adding one is done via Appearance > Header Footer Builder. Click the Add New button in the upper part of the screen and then the type of template you want to create. After adding the title and content using the Edit with Elementor button, click Publish.
