Theme options customizer overview

The Johannes theme comes with a comprehensive set of options, that you can manage within the WordPress live customizer panel. Once you go to Appearance -> Customize, you will be able to see the main tab which opens the Johannes theme settings (besides the default sections that come with WordPress by default).

Once you open the panel, all settings are further divided into logical sections for easy management (see the image below).

Note that some of the options have an impact on your website globally while some are related to a specific template or a spot only. So, make sure that you are looking at the right place on the website if you want to see the live preview of the changes. For example, open one of your posts/articles if you are currently changing the “Single Post” section.

In the following list, you can find the description of each particular section.
