The customiser’s appearance settings tab has five sub tabs.
The appearance settings tab in Hestia WordPress theme:
- General settings.
- Typography.
- Colours.
- Background image.
- Button.
Most of Hestia’s settings are in the customiser. This page of the guide is about the customiser tab labeled Appearance Settings. You access these settings by drilling down in the customizer. The screenshots below will give you an idea of how to drill down in the customizer.
In the customiser, drill down to find the settings you need.
In the example below I had to drill down in the customiser. First I chose Appearance Settings, then General Settings, only then could I access the settings I sought.
In the Customizer > Appearance Settings tab you’ll find five top level tabs:
- General Settings.
- Typography.
- Colors.
- Background image.
- And button.
Expand any of these top level tabs to access the individual settings pertaining to that specific topic.

The color labeled Background Colour in the customiser is labeled Body in the WordPress block editor color picker.
Customizing > Appearance Settings > Background image.
Background image:
- Body content background image (I never use this).
- This tab also includes a link to another section in the customiser where you can access the header image settings.
Customizing > Appearance Settings > Button.
Button:
- Button padding.
- Button radius.
Which buttons are affected?
Changing the button settings in the customiser affects some buttons on your website, but not others.
In my experiments, these customiser button settings affected the button in the homepage hero section, buttons in the add a comment area, and buttons in WP Forms.
However, the settings did not affect buttons in the Hestia patterns.
