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…
Short answer: NinjaFirewall is the most genuinely protective free security plugin I’ve tested, it adds nothing at all to the page your visitors download, and it costs you about 22 milliseconds per request plus a real amount of fiddling. If you want a security plugin with a friendly dashboard that scans for malware and holds…
Short answer: SEO Simple Pack handles your title tags, your meta descriptions and your social sharing tags, it does all three properly, and it does nothing else at all. If that’s the whole of what you want, it’s the lightest way I’ve found to get it – no database tables, no background jobs, and about…
If your blog posts feel either cramped or stretched across the screen like a newspaper headline, the fix is a single slider in Kadence’s Customizer. Kadence gives you separate controls for the overall container, the content area, and even per-post overrides – all in the free version. But here’s the mistake I see constantly: people…
You just spent 20 minutes tweaking your colors, fonts, and header layout in the Kadence Customizer. You hit “Publish.” And… nothing happens. Your changes vanish. Or you get a vague “Looks like something’s gone wrong” message that tells you absolutely nothing useful. I’ve been there. For this update I went further than troubleshooting from memory:…
You’ve built your site, everything looks great – and then you scroll to the bottom and see a big strip of white space in or below your footer. You didn’t put it there. There’s nothing in the Customizer that says “add weird gap at the bottom.” And yet, here it is. I’ve hit this exact…
Out of the box, Kadence doesn’t give you a sidebar at all. Posts open on the “Narrow” layout and pages on “Normal” – both single-column. That catches out anyone expecting the classic blog look. Maybe you want one on the right, maybe on the left, or maybe you just need the one you’ve already turned…
Short answer on Wordfence vs Solid Security: Wordfence protects more of your site on day one, and it’s the one I’d install on a beginner’s blog. Solid Security is the lighter, quieter option, but you have to finish its setup wizard before it does anything at all. There’s a bigger thing you need to know…
