Advanced

Configure some advanced settings.

Option Description
Child Theme Select a child theme. Note that different template files will be loaded, and theme settings will be updated respectively. For more information, read the chapter on Child Themes.
Media Folder This folder stores images that you download when using layouts from the YOOtheme Pro library. It's located inside the Joomla /images folder.
Page Category By default, only uncategorized articles are referred as Pages. Alternatively, define articles from a specific category as Pages by using the category alias.
Search Component Select the search module that you want to use when search is enabled in the Header settings.
System Assets Load Bootstrap, Font Awesome and jQuery. Bootstrap is only required when default Joomla template files are loaded, for example for the Joomla frontend editing. Load jQuery to write custom code based on the jQuery JavaScript library.
Next-gen Images Serve optimized image formats with better compression and quality than JPEG and PNG.
Syntax Highlighting Enable automatic syntax highlighting for any code block on your website. Use GitHub for light and Monokai for dark backgrounds.
Cache Clear cached images and assets. Images that need to be resized are stored in the theme's cache folder. After re-uploading an image with the same name, you'll have to clear the cache.
Theme Settings Export all theme settings and import them into another installation. This doesn't include content from the layout, style and element libraries or the template builder.

Note AVIF images are only generated in PHP 8.1 and later, and the GD extension must be compiled with AVIF support.

Note IPTC Photo Metadata can only be preserved for JPEG images. If needed, disable both next-gen images options. Mind that this will slow down loading times.


External Services

Provide API keys to integrate web services into your website.

Option Description
Google Maps Enter your Google Maps API key to use Google Maps instead of OpenStreetMap. It also enables additional options to style the colors of your maps.
Google Analytics Enter your Google Analytics ID to enable tracking. IP anonymization may reduce tracking accuracy.
