Global Settings

As part of the Theme Development for 2U, Big Bite designed & developed a React-based app which lives within the WordPress dashboard, to control the Global Settings of each site. 

This houses settings for elements such as:

This is also the area used to control the Whitelabel & Taxi integrations. You can import new settings from Whitelabel by going to Options > Whitelabel > Import New Settings. Or set the Brand ID here too.

The General settings tab allows you to edit the Admissions Email and Admissions Phone Number.

The Header area of Global Settings allows you to select the overriding settings for elements such as:

The Footer area of Global Settings allows you to edit the following fields:

Any text that is entered in these fields, will override the entire site. You can use the Footer Block to override these fields per page, if required.

The Navigation tab within Global Settings allows you to adjust the horizontal alignment of the header navigation. This will also allow you to select the mobile alignment of the navigation too.

The Typography tab within Global Settings allows you to override all settings that have been imported from the Whitelabel settings. You can override settings such as:

The Color tab within Global Settings allows you to to view & override any settings that have came down from the Whitelabel settings. The Whitelabel importer pulls over the color names such as:

You can also add new colors on this page, which will not sync across to Whitelabel.

The Section tab within Global Settings allows you to view the container sizes that have been passed through the Whitelabel importer. You can also override these container sizes, or add new ones, within this screen.

As well as the container sizes, you can set the sections default, primary & dark colors.

The Branding tab within Global Settings allows you to view all of the assets that have been pulled down via the Whitelabel importer. Some examples include:

Within this screen, you can override any of these assets by inserting a URL to the new asset you want to use and clicking save.

The Taxi tab in Global Settings allows you to enter a Default Form ID and Default Form Grouping which will sync with the Taxi Block when inserted anywhere on the site. Any fields that you override in this screen, will apply to all Taxi forms used across the site.

The Blog tab within Global Settings allows you to edit the following:

The PLP Settings tab provides options for notice/banner management, PLP Background Color and Global Footer information across the PLP post-type.

The Footer information will display across all PLPs unless there is a footer override block present to customize footer info on a page-level basis. Any fields left blank in the footer override block will pull from the global settings.
