- The second link is called "View or Edit Theme and Template Settings".
- This is to choose the style of your site.
- Click on it, there are 2 options you may choose, the default CSS that is installed in every adoptables site or your own custom one. If you choose the custom one, it will appear, but if you have not edited the custom one yet, it will look like the default CSS.
- And then click "Use This Theme".
Custom CSS
- The third link is called "View or Edit Theme CSS Files".
- This is to edit the custom CSS your site has.

Adoptable Settings
- The fifth link is called "View or Edit Adoptable Signature Image Settings / GD Settings".
- This is to edit the adoptable image settings.

- Once edited, click "Change Settings".

Trade System
- The ninth and final link is called "View or Edit Trade System Settings".
- This is so people can trade adoptables via the system and not manually.
- Click on it and you will see a few options. Beware though, the trade system is currently a bit glitchy, so when users make a trade, they MUST offer an adoptable with it otherwise they will lose all their money.
- Once edited, click on "Submit".
