When I first set up my Kadence site, I spent way too long looking for a social icons plugin. Turns out I didn’t need one. Kadence has a built-in Social element baked right into the footer builder, and it covers 56 networks including Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads. The whole…
If you want live NFL scores, box scores and standings on a WordPress site without typing them in by hand, your options come down to about three. Sports API Hub is one of them. Sports API Hub is ours. So let me be useful instead of flattering. I installed it on a clean test site,…
Every guide to building a football site starts in the wrong place. They open with themes, show you a nice scoreboard layout, and pick a plugin by the end of the first screen. Then you install it and discover the real job: something has to put 285 NFL games, 32 team records and roughly 17,000…
This is part 7 of seven. It covers the 108 Kadence general settings in the General panel, which is where your content width, the sidebar, the back-to-top button, the performance switches and the social link boxes all live. Every default below was read out of Kadence 1.4.5 itself, not copied from the documentation. The official…
This is part 6 of seven. It covers the 45 Kadence colors and fonts settings – the global colour palette, the type scale, and the three button styles the theme ships with. It’s the smallest part of this reference and the one I’d read first. Almost every colour setting elsewhere in Kadence points back at…
This is part 4 of seven. It covers the 100 Kadence footer settings – the three footer rows, the six widget areas, the footer navigation, the social icons and the copyright line at the bottom of every page. The footer is the header’s mirror image. Same builder, same gears, same General and Design tabs. If…
This is part 5 of seven. It covers the 126 Kadence post and page layout settings that decide what a single post looks like, what a page looks like, what your blog archive looks like, what your search results look like, and what happens on a 404. Five sections, and they don’t all live where…
This is part 3 of seven. Part 2 covered the header’s structure – the rows, sticky, transparent. This one covers the 145 settings that belong to the things you put inside those rows: navigation, search, a button, social icons, custom HTML, and the logo. Every default here was read from Kadence 1.4.5’s own settings registry….
This is part 2 of seven. It covers the 93 Kadence header settings that build the structure – the three rows, the sticky behaviour, the transparent mode, the off-canvas panel and the hamburger trigger. It doesn’t cover the things you put inside a header. Navigation, search, buttons, social icons and the logo are components, and…
The first time I went looking for the Kadence theme settings I closed the Customizer again. There were panels inside panels, tabs I didn’t notice for a week, and a Header section that looked empty. (If you can’t find the Customizer at all on a newer install, here’s where it went.) So I counted. Kadence…
