Site identity

Appearance → Customize → Site Identity. Alongside WordPress’s own logo, title, tagline and site icon controls, Fern adds the following.

Logo position

Where the logo sits against the site title and tagline — Above the title or Beside the title. Above is the default.

Logo shape

Normal or Circle. Circle crops the logo to a round mask, which suits a portrait or a mark but not a wordmark.

Logo size

The height of the logo in the header: 32px, 44px, 60px, 80px or 100px. The default is 44px. Width follows the image’s own proportions.

Display site title

On by default. Turn it off to show the logo alone. The title is still in the page for screen readers and for search engines when it is hidden.

Display site tagline

On by default. The tagline reads in the secondary text color — see Design.

Display homepage title

Off by default. With a static front page set, the page’s own title is normally redundant next to the logo above it, so the theme leaves it out. Turn it on if your homepage wants a heading of its own.

Show latest posts after homepage content

On by default. Under whatever your homepage says, the theme prints the most recent posts as one-line rows — the same row the Inline blog layout uses, and it should stay the same row. Turn it off for a homepage that is only its own content.
