Theme Options

Porto comes with advanced settings panel using wordpress customizer which contains options. We have the options organized into logical tabbed sections, and each option has a description of what it will do on the front end.

Theme options page is divided into options panel on the left and customizer’s preview window on the right. If you change any option in the options panel, the changes will be applied immediately in the preview window. But changed options will not be saved unless you click ‘Publish’ button. Porto uses wordpress selective refresh for the options so you can avoid refreshes and improve responsiveness when changing options.

Porto also displays tooltips on mouse hover for page elements including header and footer which has layout and skin settings. If you click this tooltip, it will go to the related options section.

Because of the undefined amount of options Porto provides, we cannot go over them in full detail here in our documentation. We encourage you to take some time to navigate through each tab to see what we offer. Go to Porto > Theme Options  on admin sidebar to access the setting options. See below short descriptions of our Theme Options panel.
