Let us take a quick look at some options that will allow you to make some quick changes to set up your site fast. We will start with setting up the Logo, Color scheme, Typography and progress to other elements.
Logo Setup
The first step to personalize the theme is to upload your own logo. There are two different options to upload the logos default logo and the transparent header logo.
Preparing your Image
We recommend using a .png image with a maximum size of 450px wide by 290px tall. Logo can be uploaded from Enfold > Theme Options > Logo
Transparent header logo: When the page is scrolled the color and size of the logo area may change (depending on the theme setting) and a different logo can be displayed when the page is scrolled from Enfold > Header > Transparency Options > Transparency Logo.
Favicon setup
If you aren’t familiar with Favicons, they are the little images that show in the browser tabs or bookmarks for a site. They take a bit more care when creating the image file since they are so small, but there are some great resources on the web to make that easier.
Setting up Your File
A quick Google for “Creating your own Favicon” should help you find one of the many sites available these days which will help you in creating your file.
Upload the Favicon file
Once you have your new favicon created and read you can upload it to the Theme Options main tab and the theme will then add it to the site code so that browsers can recognize it.
Color scheme
The theme comes with predefined color schemes that can be used out of the box or modified if needed. Once you select one of the colors it changes all of the values in the tabbed options below as well as the live preview box.
The theme colors are separated in different theme sections: General, Header, Main Content, Alternate Content, Footer and Socket. You can apply link colors, font colors, backgrounds etc to each section. As soon as you change the value of some of the input fields the small preview window will update and show you how your new style looks like.
Color scheme are a set of a predefined color scheme which can be accessed from Enfold > General Styling > Select a predefined color scheme. To get started with custom styling your Enfold theme choose a color scheme that is close to your design and edit the options in General Styling below the selected color profile.
Advanced styling options
Advanced Styling Option can be accessed from WordPress Dashboard > Enfold > Advanced styling. Here you can select elements such as the menu, button, headings or any other element from the drop-down list. The default styles can be customized by adding new values to any of the element in the advanced styling option.
Typography
Typography options in Enfold theme can be accessed from Enfold > Advanced Styling. Select any element like body, paragraph, heading tags, menu or other tags available in the drop down list and edit the font family, font size, font weight and line height.
The text color for different sections of the site like header, footer, main content and other areas can be changed from Enfold > General Styling.
Background Styles
Body background options work great if a ‘boxed’ or ‘framed’ layout is selected from Enfold > General Layout > Layout
Background color or image for the site can be changed from Enfold > General Styling > Body Background
Background video can be set from the options available in the color section element. This looks great if you are using the color section element with the video background on a stretched layout.
Remove Borders around header, sidebar and other content
To remove the borders around menu, sidebar area please clear/delete the border color value found in Enfold > General Styling > Logo Area, Main Content, Alternate content and save changes.
Page preloader
Page Preloader is a nice way to indicate that the content of the page is loading. It is best to use them on web pages with heavy content that takes time to load. The preloader option can be easily enabled or disabled with a custom preloading logo or image from Enfold theme options > Page Preloading.
Menu setup
Pages, Posts, Products, Tags, Custom Links, Categories and much more can be added to the menu items. First, enable the required boxes from the ‘Screen options’ on the top right of the Appearance > Menu page to be able to add them to the menu.
Create or select the menu which you need to add/edit items.
Drag and drop the menu items from the list of pages and other options available on the left side to the menu items which can be seen on the right side.
Finally, select the display located at the bottom of the screen before saving the menu.
