PageLines DMS provides users with a number of global settings, allowing them to change their site's layout, add social integration, control colors, styles and more.
The Site Images panel allows you to upload custom images to be used on your site, such as favicon, login page and mobile touch image. You can either choose to upload an image from your computer or enter the full URL location of your custom image.
The favicon image is a good way to brand your site and increase it’s prominence in your visitor’s bookmark menu and tabs. Must be .png or .ico file - 32px by 32px
This image will be used on your WordPress login page and is great for client websites. Use an image that is approximately 80px in height.
The mobile touch image is visible when your users add your site as a webclip in Apple Iphone and Touch Products. It is an image approximately 57px by 57px in either .jpg, .gif or .png format.
The Layouts & Nav panel provides options for configuring the layout and navigation of your site.
Select Pixel width mode and your site maximum width will be controlled by pixels. If you select Percent width the width of your content will be a percentage of window size.
This will be used in mobile menus and optionally other places throughout your site.
This will be shown subtly in areas throughout the site and in your mobile menu.
The Typography panel provides the ability to change font size, weight as well as the default font family used on your website.
Primary Text allows you to style the standard type of your site. Text Headers allows you to style your site’s header tags (H1, H2, H3…)
The Select font dropdown menu allows you to choose from many popular web fonts.
The Base font size setting allows you to select the size of your text from 10px-30px
. This size is a reference that will be scaled for text used throughout the site.
The Font weight setting allows you to select the weight of your text from Light (300)*
, Normal (400)
, Semi-Bold (600)*
and Bold (800)
.
*Please be aware that these font weights don't always have an effect.
The Color & style panel provides the ability to easily change the color of your Content base, main text and links. As well as being able to configure your background using an image with settings allowing control over repeat, position, attachment and fit to screen.
The Content base color is used as your background and as a basis for calculating contrast values in elements such as hover effects, etc. Use it as your default background color and refine using custom CSS/LESS or a child theme.
The Site text colors setting allows you to configure the basic text colors for your site.
If you would prefer to set the background to something other than a single color; you can upload your own image.
Fit image to page?
If you use this option the image will be fit responsively to the background of your page. This means the settings below will have no effect.
Integrating your new website and your existing social media accounts is easy using Pagelines DMS.

The Import + Export panel provides the ability to import and/or export your DMS config so that you don’t have to spend time implementing your settings again, if you plan on moving them to another PageLines DMS install or migrate your site to a new server. This time saving process ensures that your DMS settings are identical when imported.
The Advanced panel contains some additional options that can be useful to solve some specific issues when developing your site.

element of the website. This can be useful when using the same child theme on several installations or sub domains and can be used to control CSS customizations.
The Resets panel should be used with extreme caution. There are two reset options available on that panel. Use of these resets will restore global settings, including resetting current page settings. You will be removing, on a global basis, all changes you've made to the site via settings.
We recommend taking extra care and proceeding slowly, when using the Reset options.
Use this button to reset all global settings to their default state. Once you've completed this action, you may want to publish these changes to your live site.
Use this button to reset all settings on the current page back to their default state. Once you've completed this action, you may want to publish these changes to your live site.
Use this button to purge the stored LESS/CSS data. This will also clear cached pages if wp-super-cache or w3-total-cache are detected.
