Flavor Options

Everything about your theme is configured from one screen: Appearance → Flavor Options. Settings are grouped into tabs across the top, and some tabs have sub-tabs for finer control. Make your changes, then click Save Changes at the bottom.

A few tabs appear only when the WP eCommerce Core plugin is active — these are marked below.

Core

Site-wide basics, split into sub-tabs:

  • General — storefront language (English / Greek) and page container widths.
  • Header — sticky and transparent header, height, logo (image, text, or subtitle), search / cart / account icons, header colours, and the optional top bar.
  • Footer — footer widget columns, padding, copyright text (supports {year} and {site} placeholders), social icons, colours, and the optional bottom info bar.
  • Social — links for your social platforms, plus icon style and size.
  • Maintenance — a Maintenance / Coming Soon screen with countdown, progress bar, newsletter sign-up, contact details, and access rules (who can still see the live site).

Design System

Your global look and feel — everything here also feeds the Page Builder's colour palette and style options:

  • Colors — your brand palette (primary, secondary, accent, text, background, link, and status colours), plus room for your own custom colours.
  • Typography — body and heading fonts, base size, line height, and weights.
  • Spacing — the spacing scale used across the theme.
  • Classes — reusable style classes you can apply in the builder.
  • Page Builder — builder-related defaults. See Visual Page Builder for the full builder guide.

Pages

Assign your published WordPress pages to their storefront roles — Shop, Cart, Checkout, My Account, Terms & Conditions, and 404. The shop-related roles require the WP eCommerce Core plugin; Terms and 404 work with the theme alone.

Shop

Appears only when the WP eCommerce Core plugin is active.

  • Core — show or hide out-of-stock products, AJAX add-to-cart, cart redirect behaviour, and currency settings (symbol, position, separators, decimals).
  • Cart / Checkout — cart icon behaviour (page link vs. slide-out cart), guest checkout, account creation, order notes, and which checkout fields are required, optional, or hidden.
  • Shop & Categories — products per page, grid columns, pagination style, and product filters.
  • Products — reviews and ratings settings (moderation, verified-purchase badge, where reviews appear).

Optimize

A performance and clean-up toolkit. From here you can remove WordPress bloat (emojis, embeds, extra meta tags), tune script and asset loading, enable lazy-loading and modern image formats, minify CSS/JS/HTML, control caching, and apply server-level (.htaccess) tweaks with preview / apply / restore. A built-in Performance Guide explains the impact of each option.

Security

Harden your WordPress installation:

  • Login Protection — limit login attempts, add a honeypot, and set custom login / admin URLs.
  • User Enumeration Protection — block probing for usernames.
  • File Access — disable the built-in Theme and Plugin editors.
  • HTTP Security Headers — add recommended response headers.
  • Server-Level Recommendations — read-only best-practice advice.

Modules

Turn optional features on or off, grouped into sub-tabs: General, Websites, Eshops, Marketing, Tools, and Dev. Modules install on demand, so your site only carries what it uses. See Modules for the full list and what each one does.

info

Some modules require a higher license tier. Those show a lock until your plan includes them.

Language

Translate every UI label and message into your language — no translation files needed. Strings are organised into Theme, eCommerce (plugin only), and Modules sub-tabs. See the Translation System guide for the full walkthrough.

AI

Turn on AI tools inside the Page Builder — generate text, search free stock photos, and create AI images. Choose your AI engine (a free option is available, or connect your own provider for higher quality), set a default tone and language, and add your provider keys. Keys are stored securely on the server and are never shown in the browser. See AI Content for the full guide.

Tools

Maintenance utilities:

  • Re-generate Images — rebuild your thumbnail sizes after changing image dimensions, and clean up obsolete thumbnail files.
  • Cache Management — clear the theme cache and translation cache. Your settings are never affected.

License

Activate and manage your license: view your activation status, domain, plan, and expiry; and Activate, Deactivate, or Verify your license. See Licensing & Updates for more.
