Hello @nickmclamb1,
Thank you for reaching out,
It seems that you have some doubts about how these two places work.
Here are general explanations that I hope will help clear up the confusion:
There are two places; one is in the Customizer, and the other is under the page settings. If you set any option in OceanWP Settings for a specific page, it will override the settings from the Customizer. If you leave all OceanWP Settings on the backend of the pages at their default, then all settings will be controlled by the Customizer.
This is how the Customizer and metaboxes work.
For additional information regarding OceanWP Settings and Customizer, kindly refer to and follow the articles below:
https://docs.oceanwp.org/category/826-oceanwp-settings
https://docs.oceanwp.org/category/35-customizer
Please Remember: If you make any changes in these two places and they are not applied, it means that your site is cached, and you will not see the changes. To resolve this, you must clear all levels of cache, including cookies, CDN, host cache, plugin cache, and browser cache. Then, check the site again.
I hope it helps.
Best Regards
