Video Tutorial - Install and setup theme as in demo



WordPress General


First of all, to install our theme and run it you need the content management system which is called WordPress.

  1. Installing WordPress - WordPress is well-known for its ease of installation. Under most circumstances, installing WordPress is a very simple process and takes less than five minutes to complete. Many web hosts now offer tools (e.g. Fantastico) to automatically install WordPress for you. However, if you wish to install WordPress yourself, the following guide will help.
  2. First Steps With WordPress - Let’s take a step-by-step tour through your WordPress site and see how the different functions work and how to make your new site your own. During the first part of this tutorial, please don’t change anything within the program unless it is part of the tutorial. After following these steps, you’ll soon be changing everything.
  3. New To WordPress - Where to Start - If you are new to WordPress, here is a step-by-step plan for getting started. If you need help along the way, plenty of options for assistance are listed in this article. Welcome to the exciting world of WordPress!

Server Requirements


If you are installing your theme from the WordPress theme installer, but get a message that says Are you sure you want to do this?, most likely your web server is configured with low PHP settings that only allow a certain size ZIP file to be uploaded via WP admin.

Most hosting companies configure their servers to only have the maximum file upload size limit at 8-10 MB, some are less. Our theme ZIP is currently about 6 MB in size which is due to the included plugins and all the demo content. So if you get this error, your web server is rejecting the upload due to the overall size of the zip file. WordPress is, unfortunately, giving you a rather ambiguous message in response. This is not a theme issue or bug.

PHP Recommendations

Memory Size: memory_limit = 256M
Script execution time: max_execution_time = 400
Number of input variables: max_input_vars = 4000

If you don’t have access to the php.ini file, you can add the following values in your .htaccess file:

php_value max_execution_time 400
php_value memory_limit 256M
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

Be careful using these settings, some hosting companies don’t allow users to change php settings, if you experience any problem after making these changes, please revert these in your .htaccess file, using your FTP client.

Also, there is another way to prevent this error, you can upload your theme via FTP.

Installing Theme & Plugins

Theme

  1. Installing theme is quite easy, all you have to do is download the installable WordPress file only from your downloads tab at ThemeForest, the downloads tab on ThemeForest can be found when you mouseover your user.
  2. There are two ways to install the theme into your WordPress, one from WordPress dashboard and the other one manually from FTP
    • WordPress Dashboard: Go to Appearance > Themes and press Add New, upload the installable zip file that you've downloaded from ThemeForest.
    • FTP: Go to the WordPress > wp-content > themes. In the FTP the file should be folder, not zip file, so extract it and you're good to go.

Plugins

After activating the theme, notices will appear on the top of WordPress, if there are no notices, please go to Appearance > Install Plugins.

Required:
  • Elementor: The most powerful front-end page builder, all the elements are created inside it.
  • Mthemes Core: A core plugin which adds options and custom functionalities to the theme.
  • One Click Demo Import: It's a must if you want to import the demo content and start working without to create everything from scratch.

Navigation Menus


The menus can be created on the Appearance > Menus. You can add your posts/pages or categories to the menu then assign the menu on Main Menu location, which stands for the primary menu on the theme.

Front Page


The front page usually on demo import assigns itself, but that can be changed easily to any page you want at Settings > Reading > Front Page.

Blog Page


You can create a blog page which will play the role of the collector of all posts inside your WordPress, to assign that page you first need to create a blank page and then at Settings > Reading > Blog Page assign that page

Page Builder - Elementor

Elementor is the ultimate WordPress page builder, the key difference is that you can reach a high level of design while designing live and on the front end of your site. Elementor is a page builder plugin that replaces the basic WordPress editor with a live frontend editor, so you can create complex layouts visually, and design your website live, without having to switch between the editor and the preview mode. The page builder enables you to reach a top-notch quality of design without needing to use code or CSS and doesn't require code knowledge.

Our theme has prepacked Elementor Templates to ease you work on Header, Footer, Pages, Posts and Potfolio Items. They can be imported as shown in the video tutorial at Getting Started section of the documentation. They can be found on Wordpress Dashboard > Templates.
