While a theme does much of the heavy lifting for your site design, there will still be elements you want to customize, and WordPress lets you do this. Each theme has different customization options. Full-site editing with the block editor and/or the Elementor page builder let you do much of your customizing from within a page or template itself, rather than at the level of the theme.
Plugins installed on your portfolio site dictate some of the customization possibilities:
- Fonts Plugin for site fonts (can customize base typography, headings, and buttons & inputs): hover over the Fonts Plugin option in the left-hand navigation menu, then click Customize Fonts.
- Elementor Global Site Settings for font colors (and other site styling): when the Elementor editor is open, click the Site Settings button in the top left-hand corner to edit settings.
One example of a setting you can customize through Elementor’s Site Settings area is links: you can customize how links are signaled typographically throughout your site, with a specific color or typography (font, font size, font decoration such as an underline). You can customize both how links appear normally and how they appear when a mouse is hovering over them. Currently, links on your portfolio site are set to appear with an underline (that disappears when the viewer’s mouse hovers over them). You can change this by clicking the Site Settings button, then clicking Typography (under Theme Style), and then navigating down to the Link section to edit link color and typography (toggle between the Normal and Hover tabs to edit both), as shown in the screenshot on the left.
