Global Options: Advanced
The Advanced group of Tirenoa › Options collects the switches that turn whole features on or off, the fields for tracking and other code, the list of built-in content types, and a large section of smaller design settings called Extras.
Three more sections belong to this group but appear only when the matching plugin is active: bbPress, WooCommerce and Events Calendar. Without those plugins you will not see them.
In this article: Features · Code Fields · Post Types · Extras: Miscellaneous · Extras: Related Posts, Rollover, Pagination · Extras: Grid / Masonry And ToTop · Related
Features
Each switch loads or removes one feature for the whole site. Turning off what you do not use keeps pages lighter.

|---|---|
| Enable Language Updates | Fetches updated translation files for a site that is not in English. Default: on. |
| Tirenoa’s Option Network Dependencies | Hides options that have no effect with your current settings. Turn it off to see every option at all times (save and reload afterwards). Default: on. |

Note: YouTube, Vimeo and Google Maps are outside services. Turning their scripts off here is the surest way to keep a site that does not use them from contacting them.
Code Fields
Four fields add your own code to every page of the site, for example the snippet of a statistics or chat service. Scripts have to be wrapped in <script> tags. All four are empty by default.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tracking Code | Added to the head of every page. Meant for tracking snippets. |
| Space before </head> | Added at the end of the head. Accepts scripts and markup that is valid inside the head. |
| Space after <body> | Added right after the opening body tag. |
| Space before </body> | Added at the very end of the page. |
Code entered here runs for every visitor. If it loads a third-party service, check whether that service needs consent; see the Privacy & Security options.
Post Types
Tirenoa brings several content types of its own. Each can be switched off when you do not use it. All are on by default.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tirenoa Slider | The built-in slider with its slides. |
| Tirenoa Forms | Forms and their entries. |
| Tirenoa Off Canvas | Popups and sliding panels. |
| Tirenoa Portfolio | Portfolio items with their categories. |
