Header and social links¶
Header¶
Configured under Appearance → Customize → Header.
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Site Logo (Dark Mode) | A separate logo used in the dark scheme |
| Site logo style | Logo treatment |
| Site logo dimensions | Logo sizing |
| Show site title | Display the site title text |
| Site title image | Use an image in place of the title text |
| Show site description | Display the site description |
| Site description | Markdown text shown centered below the site title. Falls back to the WordPress tagline when empty |
| Always show Home link | Keep a Home link in the navigation even on the homepage |
| Home link label | Text for that link |
| Header gap size | Vertical spacing below the header |
The standard WordPress logo setting supplies the light-scheme logo; the dark-mode logo above is the counterpart. Set both if the logo is not legible on both backgrounds.
Count pills¶
Loveshack can display live counts in the header:
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Show subscriber count pill | Displays the confirmed subscriber count |
| Show ActivityPub follower count pill | Displays the follower count from the ActivityPub plugin |
| Combine subscriber and follower counts | Shows one merged number instead of two pills |
The follower pill requires the ActivityPub plugin to be active — see ActivityPub.
Small numbers are worse than no numbers
A new site showing "3 subscribers" is advertising that it is new. Leave the pills off until the counts help rather than hurt.
Social links¶
Social links are managed under Loveshack → Social Media Links, not in the Customizer. See Social media links for the full screen.
The Customizer's Social Links section keeps only the colours:
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Social links color | Icon color in the light scheme |
| Social links dark color | Icon color in the dark scheme |
| Use accent color on hover | Applies the accent color to icon hover states |
Email branding¶
The E-Mails → Header Customizer section controls how the header is reproduced at the top of every subscriber email:
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Show avatar image | Include the avatar in the email header |
| Show site title | Include the site title |
| E-Mail site title override | Use different title text in emails |
| Show tagline | Include the tagline |
| E-Mail tagline override | Use different tagline text in emails |
| Show social links | Include the social icon row in emails |
The override fields exist because a title that works as a page header is often too long for an email. See Digest emails and Email templates.
