Customizer Options
Understand where Epiktetos stores theme settings and what is not implemented in the Customizer.
The inspected theme does not register Customizer controls with customize_register.
Configuration is handled through:
- WordPress Site Editor and
theme.json. - Standard WordPress menus.
- Appearance > Epiktetos settings screens.
- The setup wizard shown after activation.
Theme settings areas
| Settings area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Branding | Logo type, logo images, logo width, site icon, Apple touch icon, default Open Graph image. |
| Header | Sticky header, transparent header, default theme mode, RSS display, RSS URL. |
| Footer | Description, newsletter copy, social URLs, RSS display, credit text. |
| Reader | Reading history, read later, completion, quote copy, image zoom, streak, stats, editor picks. |
| SEO | Publication name, description, default image, Twitter handle, JSON-LD, Open Graph, canonicals. |
| Modules | Labels for dynamic shortcode-rendered sections and page-driven public modules. |
Customizer status
If a page or review checklist refers to the WordPress Customizer, treat Epiktetos as an admin-settings and Site Editor theme, not a Customizer-first theme.
Site icon behavior
Version 1.2.0 keeps the Epiktetos Branding > Site Icon setting compatible with WordPress-native favicon output. Raster site icons selected from Theme Settings are synchronized to the core site_icon option. SVG icons remain in Epiktetos settings and are printed by the theme with cache-busted URLs to avoid conflicting fallback icons.
Default theme mode
The header settings include a default theme mode value. The front-end header scripts and CSS then manage the visible light/dark behavior.
