Site Identity Block
The Kadence Site Identity Block offers the flexibility to display your Website Logo, Site Title, and Site Tagline. You can choose to display any combination of these elements, or just one, based on your design needs. This feature simplifies the process of customizing how your Site Identity appears throughout your website.
You can insert Site Identity Blocks into Kadence Widgets, Advanced Headers, or any location where the Block Editor is available.
Getting Started with the Site Identity Block
Get Started with the Site Identity Block by adding a new Site Identity Block to your current Post, Page, or Widget.
The Site Identity Block includes a Site Title, Site Logo, and Site Tagline Block nested inside the main Site Identity Block, depending on your Block Settings. These nested blocks are default Gutenberg Blocks, allowing for seamless integration within the main Kadence block.
Site Identity Block Settings
The main Site Identity Block allows you to customize the overall Site Identity presentation. To get started, select the parent Site Identity Block and navigate to the Block Settings. From there, use the General, Style, and Advanced tabs within the Block Settings to customize the appearance and behavior of your Site Identity Block.
General Settings
Show Site Title: Enable this option to show and use a Site Title on your Site Identity Block.
Show Site Tagline: Enable this option to enable and show a Site Tagline along with a Site Title. In order to use a Site Tagline, the Site Title must also be enabled.
Layout: Select one of the Site Identity Layouts to determine where the Site Logo, Title, and Tagline will appear.
Text Vertical Alignment: Set the Text Vertical Alignment to adjust the vertical alignment of the text next to the Site Logo. (Top, Middle, Bottom)
Link to Homepage: This setting enables the entire Site Identity Block to link to the homepage of the current website. By default, it links to the homepage, but a custom URL can also be set.
The default website Homepage can be set in the Kadence Theme using the Customizer -> Homepage Settings.

Site title, Logo, and Tagline Settings
The Site Title, Logo, and Tagline Blocks are default Gutenberg Blocks that can be customized individually using the built-in Gutenberg settings. You can find the applicable blocks nested inside the main Site Identity Block. Select the respective block you wish to customize and navigate to the Block Settings.
Use the Settings Gear Icon to access the Block Settings panel, where you can configure various options for the selected block, including alignment, visibility, and specific features.
Use the Styles Icon to access styling options for the block, allowing you to modify visual aspects such as colors, typography, spacing, and layout.
(These are default WordPress Settings and not native to Kadence Blocks and Settings)
Once the Block Settings are opened, use the various Gutenberg Settings to modify the selected block. Next to some of the settings, you will see a three-dot icon for more options. Click on the three dots to enable additional settings that may not be visible by default for that block
Site Logo Settings
Media: Set the Site Logo using the Media setting.
Image Width: Adjust the width of the Site Logo media image.
Link Image to Home: This option allows the Site Logo to also become a Link to the Homepage. (Use the Site Identity General Block Settings if you wish to enable a link for the entire Site Identity Block as a whole.)
Use as Site Icon: This option makes the Media Image also the Favicon Site Icon for the current Post/Page.
Additional CSS Class(es): Add a Custom CSS Class to the Site Logo.
Styles: Set the Logo to either Default or Rounded. When using Rounded, a Border Radius will automatically be applied to the Logo.
Filters: Add a Duotone Filter to the Site Logo. Duotones allow you to add a two-color effect to the Site Logo. This effect doesn’t modify the uploaded image. Select from a preset Duotone combo or create your own using the Block Toolbar. Learn more about Duotone here.

Site Identity Block Behavior
The Site Identity block includes the Site Title, Logo, and Tagline blocks. These are default WordPress global blocks, which means the content added to them, such as your logo or site title, remains synchronized across the website and Kadence Header (Advanced) templates.
When you update these blocks in one location, the changes automatically appear in every template that includes them. This ensures consistent branding throughout your site.
If you want to display a different logo or title on a specific Header, use an Image(adv) block instead of the Site Logo block, and add custom text instead of the Site Title. This allows you to create a unique design without affecting the global site identity settings.
