Theme settings

Override how the active theme renders an individual page

Most theme settings apply to your whole site: global colours, fonts, header behaviour, footer content, and anything else the theme exposes. Per-page theme settings let you override those defaults for a single page.

When to use them

Use a per-page override when one page genuinely needs to look or behave differently:

  • A landing page with a different header style.
  • A campaign page using a different colour palette.
  • An event page that hides the global navigation.

If you need a page to differ from the site's defaults in a way the theme doesn't expose, that's a theme-level change rather than a per-page one. See Themes.

What you can override

The available overrides depend on your theme. Themes expose the settings their authors expect to vary per page. Common examples:

  • Header style or whether the header is shown.
  • Footer style or whether the footer is shown.
  • Page background colour or accent colour.
  • Whether the page uses a constrained or full-width layout.

Settings the theme has not opted to expose at the page level stay controlled globally.

Setting a page-level override

Open a page in the editor and find its Theme settings tab. The available fields reflect what the active theme exposes. Changing a value here affects only this page.

Leaving a field at its default keeps that setting at the default defined for it, not at whatever the matching global setting is currently set to. Page-level settings and global theme settings are independent: changing a global theme setting does not change any page's settings, and changing a page's settings does not change the global ones.
