Jupiter X uses WordPress Customizer to let you customize your website globally. This means any change made through customizer applies to the whole website, not individual pages. With Customizer, you can customize things like the logo, site width, favicon, typography, header, footer, sidebar, comments, search result, shop pages, 404 page, maintenance page and more. There are more than 800 customization options available in Theme Styles.
After you’ve set up the basic options for your website through Customizer, you can either use the Layout Builder to create your own page template or use the customizer to make your website look nice. The Layout Builder is better if you want to make a special Elementor dynamic template.
To start the customizer, simply click on Appearance > Customize from the WordPress Dashboard.
Almost all of the global customization you make via Customizer can be overridden in the individual pages. It means that you can set the unique header, footer, sidebar and content options for every page. You can find the page settings below each post as Post Options.
