Image Guidelines

Upload images that match the aspect ratio of your layout for the best quality, performance, and responsive display.

Common Image Sizes

These are the image ratios you’ll see used throughout the demo.

1:1

Square

Perfect for categories, profile photos, & products

Recommended width:
Up to 1200px

16:9

Landscape

Ideal for hero sections, banners, and full-width images.

Recommended width:
Up to 1900px

3:4

Portrait

Perfect for featured images, blog posts, and post cards.

Recommended width:
Up to 1200px
  • Match the image to the ratio: Kadence lets you crop images to different aspect ratios, but starting with an image that’s already close to the final shape will produce the sharpest results.
  • Desktop, tablet & mobile: Images are automatically cropped on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Leave extra space around your subject for the best results.
  • Image size: Resize images before uploading. Oversized images can slow down your website.
  • Mobile hero images: If a hero image doesn’t display well on mobile, upload a separate mobile image using the responsive editor settings.

To customize your theme colors, go to Appearance → Customizer → Colors & Fonts → Colors.

Here you’ll find your Global Color Palette, where you can replace the default colors with your own brand colors. Any changes you make to the Global Palette will automatically update throughout the theme.

If you don’t like how a particular color appears on a specific page or section, you can customize that block individually. Simply edit the page and choose a different color from your Global Palette or select a custom color for that element only.

To customize your fonts, go to Appearance → Customizer → Colors & Fonts → Typography.

Here you can change your site’s global font settings, including the font family, size, weight, and style. Any changes you make here will automatically update throughout the theme.

If you’d like to use a premium or custom font that isn’t included by default, follow our Premium Font Installation Tutorial for step-by-step instructions.

To edit a page, go to Pages in your WordPress dashboard and select the page you’d like to edit. You can also click Edit Page from the WordPress admin bar while viewing that page.

Once you’re in the editor, simply click on any text, image, or block to customize the content.

For a complete walkthrough of editing pages and using the block editor, visit the Page Editing Tutorial.

While editing a page, click Design Library at the top of the editor.

Browse the available layouts and sections, then click the block you’d like to use. It will automatically be added to your page, where you can customize it just like any other block.

Your theme includes two different blog pages, and each one has a different purpose.

Custom Blog
This is a fully editable page designed with the block editor. You can customize the layout, add sections, and create a unique experience for your readers. This page is typically named Journal, The Blog, or something similar.

Blog
This is WordPress’s default blog archive. It isn’t editable and automatically displays all of your blog posts.

Important: Don’t assign your Custom Blog as your WordPress Blog page. If you do, WordPress will replace your custom layout with the default blog archive.

Instead, go to Settings → Reading, assign your standard Blog page as your Posts page.
