Defining Your Brand
You're now ready to set your customizations! The Branding page is located in the Feast Plugin > Branding (Feast+) and is used to assign your brand colors so that they're applied in the correct places throughout the site.
If you don't have a pre-existing set of colors and definitions, you can use the combinations on our Design Guidance page!
The quickest way to get started is to click on one of the pre-set styles on the Feast Plugin > Setup page, and then customize it.
You can view full demos of each style here.

Clear caches
Whenever you change settings, make sure to clear your caches and regenerate CSS:
- Purge this URL
- Clear used CSS of this URL
- Clear and preload cache
If you have Cloudflare cache through NerdPress or BigScoots, please contact them for instructions on clearing their caches.
If you're not seeing changes applied to desktop or mobile, then you have a caching issue.
Regenerate Thumbnails
If you notice that your thumbnails are not the correct size (i.e. oval vs. circle), you will need to regenerate thumbnails.
Slickstream
If using Slickstream, you'll want to contact them to update their search targeting to include the in-content search block.
