Neve - Settings Reference

Neve is a lightweight, performance-oriented WordPress theme designed for blogs, small businesses, agencies, portfolios, and online stores. Settings are found in the WordPress Customizer (the primary settings surface), the Neve Dashboard page under Appearance, the Header/Footer Builder (inside the Customizer), and the per-page/post Neve Options sidebar in the block editor.

Customizer

The Customizer is the main settings interface for Neve. It is organized into three top-level panels — Global, Typography, and Blog — plus the Header Footer Builder, several WooCommerce sections (when WooCommerce is active), and built-in WordPress sections.

Global Panel

The Global panel controls site-wide layout, color, styling, and behavior settings.

Colors & Background

Global Colors — Defines the site-wide color palette. The theme ships with a base palette containing primary accent, secondary accent, site background, light background, dark background, text color, link color, and link hover color. Switching the active palette changes all colors sitewide at once. Each color slot can be individually edited. These colors appear as CSS custom properties and are available throughout the Customizer wherever a color picker is shown.

Custom Colors — Lets you create additional named colors beyond the base palette slots. Custom colors appear in every color picker alongside the palette colors. A maximum of 30 custom colors is supported; each label can be up to 16 characters.

Background Image — Sets a site-wide background image. Standard WordPress background controls are available: image position, size (contain, cover, auto), repeat, attachment (scroll or fixed), and preset options. The background image appears behind the site content area.

Container

Container Width — Sets the maximum width of the site content container in pixels, with separate values for desktop, tablet, and mobile. The default is 1170 px on desktop, 992 px on tablet, and 748 px on mobile. Acceptable range is 200–2000 px.

Content Vertical Spacing — Controls the top and bottom padding of the content area on single posts and pages, with separate values per device. Supports px and vh units.

Default Container Style — Determines whether the overall site layout uses a contained (centered with max-width) or full-width container. Applies to all pages that do not have a more specific override.

Blog / Archive Container Style — Overrides the default container style specifically for the blog archive and category/tag archive pages. Options are Contained or Full Width.

Single Post Container Style — Overrides the default container style specifically for single post pages.

Shop / Archive Container Style — Overrides the default container style for WooCommerce shop and product archive pages. Only appears when WooCommerce is active.

Single Product Container Style — Overrides the default container style for single product pages. Only appears when WooCommerce is active.

Content / Sidebar

Controls sidebar position and content area width. Two modes are available: a simple sitewide mode and an advanced mode with per-context overrides.

Sitewide Sidebar Layout — Sets the default sidebar position for all pages: right sidebar, left sidebar, or no sidebar (full width). Only visible when Advanced Options are not enabled.

Sitewide Content Width (%) — Sets the content area width as a percentage of the container. Range is 50–100%. The sidebar takes the remaining space. Only visible when Advanced Options are not enabled.

Enable Advanced Options — When enabled, replaces the sitewide controls with individual sidebar layout and content width controls for each context. This setting defaults to enabled on new installations.

When Advanced Options are enabled, the following context-specific controls appear, each with a sidebar layout and content width setting:

• Shop / Archive — Controls for WooCommerce shop and product archive pages. Only appears when WooCommerce is active.
• Single Product — Controls for individual product pages. Only appears when WooCommerce is active.

Custom Post Types That Function as Settings

Widget Areas

Neve registers the following widget areas, manageable from Appearance > Widgets or the Customizer's Widgets panel:

Sidebar — The primary sidebar that appears on posts, pages, and archives when a sidebar layout is selected. Position (left or right) is controlled by the Content / Sidebar settings in the Customizer.

Shop Sidebar — A dedicated sidebar for WooCommerce shop and product archive pages. Only functional when WooCommerce is active. Position is controlled by the Content / Sidebar settings under the Shop / Archive context.

Navigation Menus

Neve registers three menu locations by default:

Primary Menu — The main site navigation, typically placed in the Header Builder's main row using the Primary Navigation component. Supports multi-level dropdown menus. With Neve Pro's mega menu feature enabled, this menu can include multi-column dropdowns with widgets.

Footer Menu — A horizontal navigation menu for the footer, placed using the Footer Navigation component in the Footer Builder.

Secondary Menu — An additional menu location for a secondary navigation area, typically placed in the Header Builder's top row. Useful for utility links, account links, or a secondary navigation bar.

Page Header Menu — An additional menu location for the Page Header component. Only registered when Neve Pro is active with the Header/Footer Booster module enabled.

Menus are created and managed under Appearance > Menus in the WordPress admin, then assigned to these locations. They can also be managed from the Customizer's Menus panel.
