2 Theme Settings – Vertical Tabs

When you open the Theme settings the very first time, you’ll see the user interface on the left with only the tab “Global Settings” opened. You’ll find a number of toggle buttons (functions) that can be activated and on the left-hand side a column of vertical tabs. Let’s go through the vertical tabs first.

New in AT 3.0 is Page Transitions. Now, you can add page transitions in just a few clicks. They can be set on a global level, as well as on a per-page level.

It can also be used to transition individual elements.

This feature leverages the new View Transition API which is still considered experimental and not yet fully supported by all browsers. While this feature won’t break your layout on unsupported browsers, if you’re afraid to offer a different user experience to your visitors based on their browser, it’s suggested to keep this feature off.

Now, you can disable any Bricks Element you don’t want to use. 

By toggling these elements on or off their respective icons will turn up/disappear in the Elements Panel of Bricks.

Disable Bricks elements on the server.

Disabling the elements on the server means all the data related to the unchecked elements won’t be loaded at all on your site. If you just want to hide elements in the builder’s list, keep this option unchecked.

Here you determine what access different user roles have to the theme settings and color palettes. You can also set which file format to upload to the media library.

Disable the “ACF” menu item in your Dashboard

If for some reason you prefer to hide the ACF menu item from your Dashboard, check this toggle. Note that if you have ACF PRO installed, this option will be ignored and the ACF menu will stay visible.

Remove all data when uninstalling the plugin

Check this toggle if you want to erase all the data from your database when uninstalling the plugin. This includes all your theme options, your color palettes, as well as your license.

Export Theme Settings

By clicking the blue Export Settings button, you’ll download a JSON file with all your theme settings options that can be imported on any site using Advanced Themer. All the options that are related to a file upload (like the Framework import, class importer, resources, etc…) will be skipped from the export and need to be updated manually.

⚠ Make sure to save your current settings before the export – unsaved settings won’t be exported.

Import Theme Settings

To import the theme settings, select the JSON file you previously exported and click on Import Theme settings. This action will potentially reset all your current options, and load the exported ones. The operation can’t be undone, so before going ahead, make sure to backup and export your actual settings.

By clicking the blue ‘Reset Settings’ button, you’ll delete the selected options from your database. It’s recommended to backup your database before proceeding to the theme reset.

⚠ This operation cannot be undone.
