Settings

Settings for Layotter can be configured using the graphical settings pages, but they can also be set programmatically using settings filters.

In some cases, settings filters provide additional functionality that isn't possible with the graphical settings pages.

There are six settings pages: General, Wrapper, Rows, Columns, Elements and Debug.

General settings

Select post types to enable Layotter for.
Enable the option to save entire post layouts as templates to be used as a starting point for new posts.

Enable or disable default CSS styles for rows and columns that allow you to get started out of the box, but might get annoying once you start adding your own custom styles.
Enable or disable the example element type that allows you to play around with Layotter and get started quickly.

Define HTML to be wrapped around the whole post content. Get more flexibility using a view filter.
