The Total theme comes with a variety of built-in custom fields, which can be disabled through the Theme Panel. These fields are primarily used by the theme itself, but in some cases, they can also be utilized with theme builder elements.
Theme elements that support custom fields make it easy to select and display a specific field, with relevant fields available for selection. Allowing all text fields in theme elements to use custom fields would significantly increase the theme’s complexity. For text fields where a custom field cannot be explicitly selected, you can use the theme’s dynamic variable to display a custom field value.
For the most streamlined experience, providing only the settings your site requires, you may choose to disable the theme’s built-in custom fields entirely and register your own custom fields instead.
