Any Single\u00a0\u2014 Post, Page or Project\u00a0\u2014 has couple of common features<\/strong><\/em>, intended either to create a visual unique aspect of the Single or to\u00a0improve its SEO capabilities.<\/p>\n

All of them are designed to change locally the already set up features<\/em><\/strong> of the Single. Site Header transparency, Featured Branding, Site Content Sidebar, Site Footer Sidebar, Site Footer Below Area and Meta description are mainly customized in Theme Options<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 on Single admin side, you just decide if you want to\u00a0showcase\u00a0or to hide them.<\/p>\n

No matter what action you take, your Single overall layout and design will be enhanced by uniqueness and efficiency while customizing General Options<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The General Options are as follows:<\/p><\/div>

If\u00a0this\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>option is enabled, the Site Header becomes\u00a0transparent and the Site Content is not displayed anymore just below the Site Header, but from the very top of browser window.<\/p>\n

By default<\/em><\/strong>, if following the normal flow of Single layout, the Site Content<\/strong><\/em> is placed immediately below the Site Header<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, there is one case when the layout flow is changed and the Site Content stands beneath the Site Header<\/em><\/strong>, which becomes transparent by this way.<\/p><\/div>

The default state<\/em><\/strong> of Site Header transparency option can be changed in Theme Options\u00a0\u2192 Content\u00a0\u2192 General.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

The method is generally used when you have an outstanding media element or a visual appealing graphic item, at the beginning of Site Content, and you don’t want to alter its look with other site elements (like Site Header is, in this case).<\/p>\n

Featured Branding<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

It refers to the Featured Branding<\/a>\u00a0previously set up in Theme Options\u00a0at Content \u2192 Featured Branding\u00a0<\/em>section.<\/p>\n

On Single admin side<\/em><\/a>, you just can\u00a0enable<\/em> <\/strong>or disable<\/em> <\/strong>the Featured Branding, that basically preserves all the features from Theme Options. This fact offers more consistency to site overall design.<\/p><\/div>

The default state<\/em><\/strong> (enabled\/ disabled) of Featured Branding option can be changed in Theme Options at Content \u2192 Featured Branding\u00a0\u2192 Enabled<\/em>.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

It helps you to enable or disable the branding (which includes Title Area, Metadata and Breadcrumbs) on each Single. It also disables Branding inside Featured Branding in case the last one is enabled.<\/p>\n

Disabling Branding is useful especially when you want to create a page layout and design from scratch and you need to preserve no predefined elements (like Branding is).<\/p>\n

The Title Area is useful when you want the title of Single to be formatted in a different manner than the default one, by changing its style to Bold<\/strong> <\/em>or Italic<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

When inserting a title in Title Area,\u00a0if no style is applied, neither Bold<\/em> nor Italic<\/em>, then the title\u00a0is displayed with a light font-weight<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0This\u00a0helps you to\u00a0emphasize title by using contrast combinations: Light with Bold<\/em>, Light with Italic<\/em> or Bold with Italic<\/em>.<\/p><\/div>

In Post and\u00a0Project cases, when the title is formatted, it\u00a0is displayed so\u00a0not just on Single<\/strong><\/em>, but also on Archive pages<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
