rtPanel Theme Options 'General'
rtPanel has been updating its features regularly to make it more robust theme framework for the users.
This page will provide a brief explanation about options/settings in rtPanel > General theme option.
Logo is unique graphical symbol in the site to represent your organization or product/service. Keeping in mind the importance of logo, rtPanel has made it easy to add logo to your site. Theme has provided you the option to add a logo to your site in the easiest manner.
rtPanel theme by default will display the 'Site Title' as Logo. To add logo image to your site you can either enter complete URL address of the Logo image or you can upload a logo of your choice from your HDD.
Favicon is abbreviation for 'Favorites Icon'. It is a small image used to associate with a website and is displayed in the browser's address bar with the URL.
Favicon can be added in the same way as logo. You can either enter complete URL address of the favicon or you can upload a favicon of your choice from your HDD. While uploading the favicon you should make note that the image size should be around 16px X 16px and the image should be icon type (ICO file).
Your WordPress site contains lots of stuff and the search result helps you to find information from your site. Using rtPanel 'Google Custom Search Integration' option you can convert WordPress search results automatically into Google Search. To do the same you have to enter Google Search Code which can be obtained from here.
Here you have an option to show/hide sidebar on Search Results Page.
