​

Timezone — Sets the timezone used for all event date and time display. The selector shows a grouped list of cities. SportsPress stores this in WordPress's own timezone_string and gmt_offset options, so it is shared with the rest of WordPress. (Default: whatever WordPress is configured with at installation)
​

Sport — Selects a preset configuration for a specific sport. Choosing a preset and saving populates the event results, outcomes, player performance metrics, league table columns, and player statistics with sport-specific defaults. Changing the sport a second time overwrites the existing configuration. Available presets include: American Football, Australian Rules Football, Baseball, Basketball, Cricket, Darts, Field Hockey, Football (Soccer), Gaelic Football, Gaelic Hurling, Golf, Handball, Ice Hockey, Lacrosse, Motorsport, Netball, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Snooker, Softball, Tennis, Volleyball, and Water Polo, plus a generic "Other / Custom" option. (Default: none)
​

Main League — Selects the default competition (league taxonomy term) used as the global context. Dropdown is populated from all existing League terms. (Default: none)
​

Current Season — Selects the default season taxonomy term used as the global context. Dropdown is populated from all existing Season terms. (Default: none)
​

Color Scheme — Provides preset color palettes plus a "Customize" option. Presets: ThemeBoy, Gold, Denim, Patriot, Metro, Stellar, Carbon, Avocado. Each preset defines five color roles. The "Customize" section exposes five individual color pickers:
​

Enable checkbox within the Customize section — Activates the custom color output. When unchecked the colors are saved but not applied. (Default: unchecked)
​

Align — Controls text alignment in SportsPress tables: Default (follows theme), Left, Center, or Right. (Default: Default)
​

Padding — Sets cell padding in pixels. Leave blank to use Auto sizing. (Default: Auto)
​

Custom CSS — A freeform textarea. Any CSS entered here is output inline on the frontend inside SportsPress's enqueued stylesheet. (Default: empty)
​

Scripts — Live countdowns — Enables the JavaScript countdown animation that counts down to upcoming events in real time. (Default: enabled)
​

Scripts — Shortcode menu — Adds a SportsPress shortcode picker button to the WordPress classic visual editor toolbar. (Default: enabled)
​

Tables — Responsive — Wraps tables in a responsive container so they reflow on narrow viewports. (Default: disabled)
​

Tables — Scrollable — Allows wide tables to scroll horizontally within a fixed container rather than overflowing. (Default: enabled)
​

Tables — Sortable — Enables click-to-sort column headers in league tables and player lists on the frontend. (Default: enabled)
​

Widgets — Unique — When enabled, hides a SportsPress widget on a page if the same content is already displayed in the main page content area. Prevents duplicate output. (Default: disabled)
​

Header Offset — Appears only when the League Menu module (or another module) declares theme header support via the sportspress_enable_header filter. Sets a pixel offset to account for a sticky/fixed header. Leave blank for Auto. (Default: Auto)
