Installation

Unpacking the theme

Before installing the theme please make sure you unpacked the archive and extracted theme files. After unzipping the archive you will see the following files:

If you try to install the wrong files you will get missing styles.css file error. This is the most frequent error meaning you are trying to install incorrect package.

To install "Greko" theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. For information in regard to installing the WordPress platform, please see the WordPress Codex - http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress or check this great video tutorial.

Update WordPress: To ensure a positive user experience, we highly recommend you to update your WordPress to the latest stable version 4.0+. This will help to ensure that you are able to utilize all of the latest features of WordPress.

You can install the theme in two ways:

  • via FTP:
    1. Log into your web server with FTP client software
    2. Unzip the greko.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /Greko theme folder
    3. Upload the extracted /Greko theme folder into /wp-content/themes folder
    4. Activate the newly installed theme. Go to Appearance > Themes and activate it.
  • via WordPress:
    1. Login to admin panel.
    2. Go to Appearance - Themes and click on the Add New button.
    3. Choose Upload theme option. Click on Browse...(Choose file in Safari/Chrome), select the "greko.zip" and click in Install Now button.
    4. After successfull installation click on Activate or go to Appearance - Themes and click on Activate to activate the newly installed theme.
    5. After the theme's activation you will be prompted to install recommended plugins: WooCommerce, Visual Composer, Royal Slider, Revolution Slider, Instagram Widget, WPML.



      All these plugins are included into the theme's archive or optionally can be installed from the WordPress.org repository.
      The theme can function without any of these plugins. But if you want your website look precisely as at demo page you have to install all recommended plugins and import demo content. This is a good idea if you are building your website from the scratch.
      However, if you have existing website you should be very careful with plugin installation and importing dummy data, this may affect your site content and structure. Please read the Demo Content article for details.
    6. A new menu item Appearance -> Theme Options. will appear.

Plugins Installation

In order to make the theme looks exactly as at demo page you need to install recommended plugins. Click on Begin installing plugins link.

You will be redirected to plugins installation page. Check all listed plugins, select Install option and click on Apply button. Installation may take few minutes, please ba patient and do not refresh the page.

After installation you will see this notification informing that plugins were installed successfully.

If you are planning to use the website for e-commerce purposes we recommend to install Woocommerce pages before importing demo content. Navigate to Plugins -> Installed Plugins, you will see the following notification



Click on Install Woocommerce pages, this will add Cart, Products, Checkout and other pages required for ecommerce plugin.

If you are not planning to use the website for e-commerce purposes navigate to Plugins -> Installed Plugins, find Woocommerce plugin, click on disable button.

Theme Update

IMPORTANT: Before you go ahead with the update please check theme changelog and make sure you backup your old theme folder. Download it to your computer locally.

It is the best practice to backup both your files and database regulary and especially before making some serious updates. We recommend using free backup plugins for WordPress like WPOnlineBackup

Update Option 1. Update using WordPress uploader

  1. Log into your Themeforest account and navigate to your downloads tab. Find the theme and download Installable WordPress file.

  2. Log into your wordPress website and go to Appearance -> Themes
  3. Activate a different theme. Delete the previous version of Greko and re-upload the new Wordpress Installable files that you have downloaded from Themeforest in the 1st step.
  4. Once it uploads, choose to activate the theme.
  5. Update the included plugins if you see a notification message letting you know the plugins have a new version.

Update Option 2. Update using FTP client

  1. Log into your Themeforest account and get the last version of the theme as described above.
  2. Connect to your server using desktop client software(we recommend CyberDuck and Filezilla)
  3. Change directory to /wp-content/themes
  4. Remove existing folder with old theme files
  5. Unpack theme installable files downloaded from themeforest and upload to themes folder
  6. Update the included plugins if you see a notification message letting you know the plugins have a new version.

Child Theme

Child theme is for developers willing to make changes to core functions and code. If you are not planning to dig that deep you can easily skip this chapter.

IMPORTANT: If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we recommend you to install child theme and make changes there. To learn more about the purpose and basis of creation of child theme, visit WordPress Codex on http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.

In the theme pack you will see materials for child theme. It’s located in the "greko-child.zip" archive. You can install child theme the same way as you install main theme (see above, in the section "Installation")

A few recommendations on how to use Child Theme from ThemeREX:

  • Almost all files from main theme can be replaced in child theme. It doesn’t concern only .php-files with templates and basic logics, but also both .js, .css files from respective folders and files with images, icons etc..
  • If you want to change some theme’s functions or to add new ones, you need to create file 'functions.php' in the folder "greko-child", and add all required functions into it. If our theme contains functions with such names, they will be replaced with yours, if not - your functions will complete our theme’s logics.
    IMPORTANT: If you want to replace some functions from other files (except functions.php), e.g. from _wp_utils.php or _utils.php, we strongly do not recommend you to copy respective files into the child theme, but you should create the respective functions in functions.php in the child theme. This should be done, so that when updating the them, new functions from these files are available for use.
    As for other files - putout templates from the folder 'templates', images from the folder 'images' etc. - to make changes, copy theme into the folder 'child theme' and make changes there.

Skins

Skins help to change theme's general look and feel leaving both layout and functionality intact. Thus, if you are not going to change theme logic and / or the layout, but just want to change the background and color of any elements, replace fonts, round (or, on the contrary, straighten) the angles, add or remove shadows, animation etc . - in this case it would be more logical to create a new skin with all necessary changes.

On the other hand skins allow you to roll back to original theme look in just one click.

To find available theme skins simply navigate to Theme Options -> Customization -> General tab and click on Select theme skin dropdown menu.

Creating your custom skin is very easy:

  1. Go to theme root directory and find /skins folder, open it
  2. Create a new folder and name it according to your new skin name, in example from a screenshot above we created /Custom folder
  3. Copy the content from existing skin to your new folder
  4. Make changes to CSS(read css files structure overview below)

Now, let's take a closer look at skin structure.

In the theme folder you see the folder named skins, that contains finished skins in the relevant subfolders. Folder name is the name of a skin.

Each skin consists of two main files:
- skin_name.css
- skin_name.php

Also, subfolder 'images' may include three files with logos:
- logo.png - main logo (displayed in the upper part of the website, close to menu), logo-footer.png -logo displayed in the in the bottom of the website (in footer, near contacts), logo-icon.png - image for the button of side menu opening.

Subfolder 'images' can also contain folder 'socials' with social networks icons. If there is no such folder in it, basic icons from the folder /images/socials in the root of the theme folder will be used.

Structure of the skin_name.css file

This file contains basic styles for the current skin and consists of three major parts:

  1. The first (required) part should include a description of colors, backgrounds and borders of basic elements of the theme. It is located at the beginning of the file from the lines:

    /* Theme Accent Color ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

    to the section beginning with the lines:

    /* Other skin settings ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

    You must not remove the selectors from this part. If you want to add some selectors to the description - after basic selectors please add a comment like / * Added in the skin_name * / and after it, specify the list of required selectors. For example, the skin "Car" require a few extra objects using main color of the theme:
    ...
    .user-popUp .formItems.loginFormBody .remember .forgotPwd,
    .user-popUp .formItems.loginFormBody .loginProblem,
    .user-popUp .formItems.registerFormBody .i-agree a,
    .sc_slider_pagination_area .flex-control-nav.manual .slide_info .slide_title,
    /* Added in car */
    label.required:before,
    .topWrap .usermenu_area a:hover,
    .topWrap .usermenu_area ul.usermenu_list > li.sfHover > a,
    .squareButton > a:hover,
    ...
    .twitBlock .sc_slider .flex-direction-nav li:hover a:before
    { color:#eda509; }
    
  2. Next is a section with additional settings - here you can add any css-rules required for the new skin. This section begins with the comment:

    /* Other skin settings ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

  3. At the end of the file, slider settings can be located, if this skin is supposed to use a separate slider, and the slider selected does not support embedded style tables (e.g., Royal Slider)

    /* Slider ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

Structure of the skin_name.php file

This file contains a set of actions and filters, required for a skin design. Let's examine it in more details:

  • // Add skin fonts in the used fonts list
    add_filter('theme_skin_use_fonts', 'theme_skin_use_fonts_greko');
    function theme_skin_use_fonts_greko($theme_fonts) {
    	$theme_fonts['Signika'] = 1;
    	$theme_fonts['Source Sans Pro'] = 1;
    	$theme_fonts['Fenix'] = 1;
    	$theme_fonts['Inder'] = 1;
    	return $theme_fonts;
    }
    
    // Add skin fonts in the main fonts list
    add_filter('theme_skin_list_fonts', 'theme_skin_list_fonts_greko');
    function theme_skin_list_fonts_greko($list) {
    	//$list['Advent Pro'] = array('family'=>'sans-serif', 'link'=>'Advent+Pro:100,100italic,300,300italic,400,400italic,500,500italic,700,700italic,900,900italic');
    	if (!isset($list['Signika']))			$list['Signika'] = array('family'=>'sans-serif', 'link'=>'Signika:400,700');
    	if (!isset($list['Source Sans Pro']))	$list['Source Sans Pro'] = array('family'=>'sans-serif');
    	if (!isset($list['Fenix']))				$list['Fenix'] = array('family'=>'serif', 'link'=>'Fenix:400,400italic');
    	if (!isset($list['Inder']))				$list['Inder'] = array('family'=>'sans-serif', 'link'=>'Inder:400');
    	return $list;
    }
    
    These two filters specify which fonts are used in the skin. The first filter adds font names into the download list, the second one - into the list of fonts to choose in the theme options, as well as the second filter specifies family for each font (required) and a set of patterns used (optional).
  • // Add skin stylesheets
    add_action('theme_skin_add_stylesheets', 'theme_skin_add_stylesheets_greko');
    function theme_skin_add_stylesheets_greko() {
    	themerex_enqueue_style( 'theme-skin', themerex_get_file_url('/skins/greko/greko.css'), array('main-style'), null );
    }
    
    // Add skin responsive styles
    add_action('theme_skin_add_responsive', 'theme_skin_add_responsive_greko');
    function theme_skin_add_responsive_greko() {
    	if (file_exists(themerex_get_file_dir('/skins/greko/greko-responsive.css')))
    		themerex_enqueue_style( 'theme-skin-responsive', themerex_get_file_url('/skins/greko/greko-responsive.css'), array('theme-skin'), null );
    }
    
    // Add skin responsive inline styles
    add_filter('theme_skin_add_responsive_inline', 'theme_skin_add_responsive_inline_greko');
    function theme_skin_add_responsive_inline_greko($custom_style) {
    	$custom_style .= '
    @media (min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1167px) {
    	.sliderHomeBullets.slider_alias_10,
    	.sliderHomeBullets.slider_alias_10 .royalSlider,
    	.sliderHomeBullets.slider_alias_10 .slideContent{ height: 495px !important;}
    	.sliderHomeBulletsGap { height: 396px !important;}
    }
    @media (min-width: 800px) and (max-width: 1023px) {
    	.sliderHomeBullets.slider_alias_10,
    	.sliderHomeBullets.slider_alias_10 .royalSlider,
    	.sliderHomeBullets.slider_alias_10 .slideContent{ height: 437px !important;}
    }
    ...
    ';
    	return $custom_style;
    }
    
    Next three functions are used to add styles of the current skin to the main theme. The first function enables main style file "skin_name.css" (must be included into the skin folder skin), the second functions - style file for rules for responsive (optional, enabled only if it's included into the skin folder). The third filter allows to specify rules that are enabled after main file 'responsive.css' right in the page body (inline). It can be used in case if there are little changes required for responsive and it doesn't make sense to create a separate file for them.
  • // Add skin scripts
    add_action('theme_skin_add_scripts', 'theme_skin_add_scripts_greko');
    function theme_skin_add_scripts_greko() {
    	if (file_exists(themerex_get_file_dir('/skins/greko/greko.js')))
    		themerex_enqueue_script( 'theme-skin-script', themerex_get_file_url('/skins/greko/greko.js'), array('main-style'), null );
    }
    
    // Add skin scripts inline
    add_action('theme_skin_add_scripts_inline', 'theme_skin_add_scripts_inline_greko');
    function theme_skin_add_scripts_inline_greko() {
    	?>
    	if (THEMEREX_theme_font=='') THEMEREX_theme_font = 'Roboto';
    
    	// Add skin custom colors in custom styles
    	function theme_skin_set_theme_color(custom_style, clr) {
    		custom_style +=
    			'.theme_accent2'
    			+'{ color:'+clr+'; }'
    			+'.theme_accent2_bgc,.sc_title_divider.theme_accent2 .sc_title_divider_before,.sc_title_divider.theme_accent2 .sc_title_divider_after,.sc_team .sc_team_item .sc_team_item_avatar:after'
    			+'{ background-color:'+clr+'; }'
    			+'.theme_accent2_bg'
    			+'{ background:'+clr+'; }'
    			+'.theme_accent2_border'
    			+'{ border-color:'+clr+'; }';
    		return custom_style;
    	}
    
    	// Add skin's main menu (top panel) back color in the custom styles
    	function theme_skin_set_menu_bgcolor(custom_style, clr) {
    		return custom_style;
    	}
    
    	// Add skin's main menu (top panel) fore colors in the custom styles
    	function theme_skin_set_menu_color(custom_style, clr) {
    		return custom_style;
    	}
    
    	// Add skin's user menu (user panel) back color in the custom styles
    	function theme_skin_set_user_menu_bgcolor(custom_style, clr) {
    		return custom_style;
    	}
    
    	// Add skin's user menu (user panel) fore colors in the custom styles
    	function theme_skin_set_user_menu_color(custom_style, clr) {
    		return custom_style;
    	}
    	<?php
    }
    
    Now, you can see two functions to enable javascript (if needed in the current skin). First function enables (if included in the skin folder) file 'skin_name.js'. If there is small number of such actions required, you can enable their inline in the second function. By default, second function contains set of callback functions to change theme colors extremely fast - by using customizer.
  • // Return main theme color (if not set in the theme options)
    add_filter('theme_skin_get_theme_color', 'theme_skin_get_theme_color_greko', 10, 1);
    function theme_skin_get_theme_color_greko($clr) {
    	return empty($clr) ? '#80ba0e' : $clr;
    }
    
    // Return main theme bg color
    add_filter('theme_skin_get_theme_bgcolor', 'theme_skin_get_theme_bgcolor_greko', 10, 1);
    function theme_skin_get_theme_bgcolor_greko($clr) {
    	return '#ffffff';
    }
    
    // Add skin's specific theme colors in the custom styles
    add_filter('theme_skin_set_theme_color', 'theme_skin_set_theme_color_greko', 10, 2);
    function theme_skin_set_theme_color_greko($custom_style, $clr) {
    	$custom_style .= '
    		.theme_accent2
    		{ color:'.$clr.'; }
    		.theme_accent2_bgc,
    		.sc_title_divider.theme_accent2 .sc_title_divider_before,
    		.sc_title_divider.theme_accent2 .sc_title_divider_after,
    		.sc_team .sc_team_item .sc_team_item_avatar:after
    		{ background-color:'.$clr.'; }
    		.theme_accent2_bg
    		{ background:'.$clr.'; }
    		.theme_accent2_border
    		{ border-color:'.$clr.'; }
    		';
    	return $custom_style;
    }
    
    Next set of functions is responsible for main theme color change. First two functions return main skin color(if it wasn't changed in Theme Options) and skin background color. The third function is automatically called when assigning a new color as main color of the theme. Here you must add those additional settings that you added into the main style file in the first section(see above, description of the skin_name.css structure)
  • // Return skin's main menu (top panel) background color (if not set in the theme options)
    add_filter('theme_skin_get_menu_bgcolor', 'theme_skin_get_menu_bgcolor_greko', 10, 1);
    function theme_skin_get_menu_bgcolor_greko($clr) {
    	return empty($clr) ? '#80ba0e' : $clr;
    }
    
    // Add skin's main menu (top panel) background color in the custom styles
    add_filter('theme_skin_set_menu_bgcolor', 'theme_skin_set_menu_bgcolor_greko', 10, 2);
    function theme_skin_set_menu_bgcolor_greko($custom_style, $clr) {
    	return $custom_style;
    }
    
    // Add skin's main menu (top panel) fore colors in custom styles
    add_filter('theme_skin_set_menu_color', 'theme_skin_set_menu_color_greko', 10, 2);
    function theme_skin_set_menu_color_greko($custom_style, $clr) {
    	return $custom_style;
    }
    
    Next is the group of functions that are automatically called when changing main menu's background color. Here you can add your own rules to correct basic actions(if needed).
  • // Return skin's user menu color (if not set in the theme options)
    add_filter('theme_skin_get_user_menu_bgcolor', 'theme_skin_get_user_menu_bgcolor_greko', 10, 1);
    function theme_skin_get_user_menu_bgcolor_greko($clr) {
    	return empty($clr) ? '#292929' : $clr;
    }
    
    // Add skin's user menu (user panel) background color in the custom styles
    add_filter('theme_skin_set_user_menu_bgcolor', 'theme_skin_set_user_menu_bgcolor_greko', 10, 2);
    function theme_skin_set_user_menu_bgcolor_greko($custom_style, $clr) {
    	return $custom_style;
    }
    
    // Add skin's user menu (user panel) fore colors in custom styles
    add_filter('theme_skin_set_user_menu_color', 'theme_skin_set_user_menu_color_greko', 10, 2);
    function theme_skin_set_user_menu_color_greko($custom_style, $clr) {
    	return $custom_style;
    }
    
    And finally, the filters called when changing additional theme color(the same used as custom menu's background). Here you may add some extra css-rules to change any of the theme elements that should accept the selected color in the current skin.

Demo Content

Our themes have simple One click dummy data import tool. It's very easy to use and you can get precise copy of our demo website in just 1 click, really.

Before installing demo data be sure you have installed all required plugins, please refer to Plugins installation section of this document for details..

IMPORTANT: When installing demo-data ALL EXISTING CONTENTS of your website will be deleted and replaced with the new data! We highly recommend you to install demo data only on blank Wordpress install.

To import demo content into a WordPress site follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your site as an administrator.
  2. If you see a message prompting to install WooCommerce, Royal Slider and Instagram widget plugins - click on "Begin installing plugins" and install them on the corresponding page. IMPORTANT: The rest of recommended plugins (Revolution Slider, WPML, Visual Composer) are not mandatory for installation of demo content.



  3. Go to Appearance -> Install Dummy Data:



  4. On the page that showed up, please set the required parameters. IMPORTANT: if you want to get a precise copy of our demo site choose "Overwrite existing content"



    Also please notice that you have 2 options: Install dummy built with Visual Composer plugin OR import dummy built purely with shortcodes. If you prefer to use Visual Composer to create pages you should leave default selection intact.
  5. Click on "Install Demo Data" button. IMPORTANT: Please wait whie demo data is being copied from our server to your site. It may take a while and depends significantly upon Internet connection speed between your website and our server. Please wait patiently and do not refresh/leave the page.



  6. After the data is successfully imported, you will see the following message:



    In 99.9% it works fine but if something went wrong and data was not imported please repeat the proceedure described above. The system will find the last item imported successfully and you will be able to continue the import.



    If you are making the install on your local machine please check your internet connection and firewall settings, this may affect data transfer.

Quick start

After theme activation and demo content import we are ready to get started with basic theme settings like site title, tagline, logo, favicon etc.

To change your site title and tagline go to Settings -> General Please notice, these parameters are important for search engines.

Another great idea may be setting custom permalinks structure to make them more SEO friendly and human readable. Go to Settings -> Permalinks and make changes according to example below.

Now let's navigate to Appearance -> Theme Options. It gives you control over most of theme settings from one place. There are quite a lot of parameters here, but luckily the majority of them have default values that suit most of the users. We will take a really closer look at them a bit later. Now just a few words about how it all works to give you an idea of our Settings Inheritance System

IMPORTANT: One of the most important theme features is Settings Inheritance System. You can flexibly control the appearance and behaviour of the whole website and individual pages, posts and categories. You can set individual display styles, sliders, output settings of page components (posts), and many more for the required category or for each post separately. In a couple of words you can set global styles and then change them for each page/post/category individually. These changes will override global styles affecting selected elements and their descendant elements.

How is works

First, you should navigate to Appearance - Theme Options and set global options that will work throughout the whole site. These settings will be default for all categories, pages, and posts of the theme:

As we mentioned above most of global theme settings can be overridden in the categories, pages, and posts. For example, you need to change style of blog stream page for category that contains Portfolio type posts. Navigate to that category, click on edit button and in the bottom of the page change appearance settings according to your needs:

From now on, all the posts in this category and its subcategories will be displayed in the style of "Portfolio (4 columns)".However hover-effect "Dir" will be preserved for them. Posts of the rest of categories (unless individual settings were applied) will be displayed as defined in Theme Options. By the way, the remaining settings of the category that were not changed (overridden) will also be inherited from the parent ones. If the settings were not changed here too - from Theme Options.

If you want to change the appearance of individual post in the category you should find that post, click on "edit" button and set custom parameters. You can find "Post options" in the bottom of the post edit page. These parameters will override both category settings and global settins defined in Theme Options panel.

Homepage

Now, let's proceed to creating our home page. Yes, you got me correctly - creating. You can create as many variants of the main page for your website, as your imagination allows you.

The basic building brick to create the homepage is a shortcode [trx_blogger].

We will offer you our own variant of Homepage in the style of "Grecko" (like on our demo server). If you like, you may continue designing, and create a lot of your own variants.

Homepage Style "Standard"

The picture below demonstrates the variant of the page we are aiming at:

The algorithm of our actions would be as follows:

  1. Select Pages - Add New and create a new page.
  2. Specify a name for it (e.g. Homepage Standard)
  3. Set the parameters for page display in the Page Options secton:
    • On the tab"General" please set the following parameters:

      - in section "Header Options" in the field "Show user's header" tick "Grey style", and in the field "User's header content" add the chortcodes for display of icons with captions:

      [trx_columns count="5"]
      [trx_column_item]
      [trx_icon align="center" icon="icon-diamond" size="70" weight="300" top="60" bottom="30"]
      [trx_section style="font-size:18px; font-weight:300; text-align:center" bottom="50"]Clean Design[/trx_section]
      [/trx_column_item]
      [trx_column_item]
      [trx_icon align="center" icon="icon-beaker" size="70" weight="300" top="60" bottom="30"]
      [trx_section style="font-size:18px; font-weight:300; text-align:center" bottom="50"]Incredibly Flexible[/trx_section]
      [/trx_column_item]
      [trx_column_item]
      [trx_icon align="center" icon="icon-mobile" size="70" weight="300" top="60" bottom="30"]
      [trx_section style="font-size:18px; font-weight:300; text-align:center" bottom="50"]100% Responsive[/trx_section]
      [/trx_column_item]
      [trx_column_item]
      [trx_icon align="center" icon="icon-megaphone" size="70" weight="300" top="60" bottom="30"]
      [trx_section style="font-size:18px; font-weight:300; text-align:center" bottom="50"]SEO Ready[/trx_section]
      [/trx_column_item]
      [trx_column_item]
      [trx_icon align="center" icon="icon-cog" size="70" weight="300" top="60" bottom="30"]
      [trx_section style="font-size:18px; font-weight:300; text-align:center" bottom="50"]Free Support[/trx_section]
      [/trx_column_item]
      [/trx_columns]

      IMPORTANT: A few more words about setting inheritance: if you want the value of this field to repeat on many pages, you should set it in Settings - Theme Options. For example, we need such set of shortcodes in User Header for all Homepages. In order not to repeat it in the settings of each page, you can specify this set of shortcodes in Theme Options in field "User's header content", and in the field "Show user's header" you should select "Hide header" (we do not need a user's heading on all pages and posts).
      And now, you need only to enable "Show user's header" on all Homepages. A set of shortcodes will be inherited from Theme Options. As a result, you will see an area with icons at the top of the page:

      - In section "Footer Options" tick "Yes" in the fields "Show Twitter in footer" and "Show Contacts in footer".
      IMPORTANT: You must previously specify registration data in the Twitter API, contact details, and select social network icons on corresponding tabs in menu "Settings - Theme Options"

      As a result, in the bottom of the page there will be a slider with Twitter feeds, and the area with your contact information:

    • On tab "Blog" in section "Stream page" set "No" in the field "Show Top of page section": this will hide the title a current page and the Breadcrumbs row; on tab "Single page" in all fields-switches you should set "No" (to hide Featured image, Title, Related posts, Author info, etc.)
    • On tab "Slider" set the slider's display:



      The theme has FlexSlider and SwiperSlider embedded. If you purchased and installed plugins RevolutionSlider and/or RoyalSlider, they will appear in the list for selection too. Our example shows how to configure the display of RoyalSlider. The slides should be prepared in advance in the dashboard of "RoyalSlider".
      As a result, under the menu row (unless of course it is already created and set as "Main menu") the slider you chose will appear:

    • Finally on tab "Google map" you should switch the map display on:



      You can enter an address or coordinates for each post / page individually. In this case, we use the information that was listed on tab "Google map" in the menu "Settings - Theme Options" (do not forget about the system of setting inheritance).
  4. Now, we are desinging the body of the page. Let's consider the process of creation step by step, accompanying every step with illustration of what we want to get and examples of shortcodes that will help achieve results. At the end of it, the full text (source code) of the page will be presented.
    • So, first we need one post. This can be a fresh post from any category or just a certain post with specified ID. For example, we are going to implement the second option. We need to show the post, that demonstrates the shortcode [trx_zoom], that allows to make the effect of image "development" or "zoom".



      To implement this , let's find a required post in "Dashboard - Posts - All posts", remember its ID, and then simply insert the shortcode [trx_blogger] into the page's text, with all required parameters.
      IMPORTANT: You can write the desired shortcodes manually or use our shortcode builder - simply select the shortcode in the drop-down list on the Editor toolbar and the Builder window will appear automatically:




      As a result, in the text of the page you should see the following code: [trx_blogger ids="109" style="excerpt" descr="0" location="center"]
      Now we're adding a dividing line under the post:

      [trx_line style="shadow" top="10" bottom="20"]
      That's it! Only two lines, and we finished the top of the page.
    • Let's proceed to the following step. Now we need to display four recent posts from any category.



      Let's add the following code into the text: <h2>Recommended posts</h2>
      [trx_blogger cat="5" count="4" visible="4" offset="1" scroll="no" orderby="date" order="desc" style="related" location="default" dir="horizontal" rating="no" descr="100"]
      [trx_line style="shadow" top="-20" bottom="20"]

      Obviously, to create the title "Recommended posts" it's not necessary to write tags <h2>...</h2> manually, you may simply highlight this text in the Editor and select the heading style in the drop-down menu:



      If you use Shortcodes Builder to create the shortcode, parameter "cat" will contain the number (an ID of selected category, in our case it's 5). If you write a shortcode manually, you may specify the short name (slug) for required category instead of the code (ID).
    • The next part of our website is a little bit more complicated:



      However, if you divide the task into parts, everything will seem more simple:
      1. So, first we need to create columns 1/3 and 2/3: [trx_columns count="3"]

        [trx_column_item]
        [/trx_column_item]

        [trx_column_item span="2"]
        [/trx_column_item]

        [/trx_columns]
      2. In the left column, we are inserting the heading and the shortcode blogger to put out the posts as timeline: <h2>Timeline</h2>
        [trx_blogger cat="5" count="12" offset="0" scroll="yes" controls="yes" orderby="date" order="desc" style="date" dir="vertical" rating="no" descr="0" height="770"]
      3. Now we are filling the right column. Insert the shortcode [trx_tabs] to create a tabbed area. Inside each tab we'll put out five posts of different categories, restricting their height and adding the option to scroll through the contents:


        <h2>Your article title fits here perfectly</h2>
        [trx_tabs initial="1" scroll="no" tab_names="Web Design|Graphics|Coding" bottom="50"]

        [trx_tab]
        [trx_blogger cat="5" count="5" visible="5" offset="1" scroll="yes" orderby="date" order="desc" style="image_tiny" info="no" dir="vertical" descr="200" height="230"]
        [/trx_tab]

        [trx_tab]
        [trx_blogger cat="portfolio-text" count="5" visible="5" offset="0" scroll="yes" orderby="date" order="asc" style="image_tiny" info="no" dir="vertical" descr="200" height="230"]
        [/trx_tab]

        [trx_tab]
        [trx_blogger cat="portfolio-hover-4-columns" count="5" visible="5" offset="5" scroll="yes" orderby="date" order="desc" style="image_tiny" info="no" dir="vertical" descr="200" height="230"]
        [/trx_tab]

        [/trx_tabs]
      4. Next, two similar columns contain accordion and group of counters:



        Here the problem occurs - WordPress does not allow to insert similar shortcodes into each other! That is we cannot insert columns inside other columns. But there is a solution! Shortcode [trx_section] (and/or [trx_block]) has a parameter "columns", that allows you to specify the width of the block being created, in "parts off the available area." For example, columns = "1_3" means that the block will occupy 1/3 of the width of a "parent" block.
        We will also need the parameter align = "left", which makes the block "cuddle" to the left and make space for the future block, which will be placed next to that one (unless, of course, its width allows it).
        And one more thing: parameter columns = "x_y" creates the emprty space to the right from the block, so that the next block does not touch the previous one. As to the left block with accordion, it's behavior mostly suits us, but we no longer need the empty space to the right of the second block , so we're adding the parameter right = "0" indicating that the second block doesn't have the right margin.
        Let's apply this option: [trx_section align="left" columns="1_2"]
        <h3>About Us</h3>
        [trx_accordion style="1" shadow="on" initial="1"]

        [/trx_accordion_item]

        [/trx_accordion]

        [/trx_section]

        [trx_section align="left" columns="1_2" right="0"]
        <h3>Some facts about us</h3>
        [trx_skills type="counter" layout="columns" count="2" maximum="1000"]
        [trx_skills_item level="999" title="CSS3" style="1"]
        [trx_skills_item level="549" title="HTML5" style="2"]
        [/trx_skills]

        [trx_skills type="counter" layout="columns" count="2" maximum="1000"]
        [trx_skills_item level="68" title="MySQL" style="4"]
        [trx_skills_item level="174" title="PHP" style="3"]
        [/trx_skills]
        [/trx_section]
      5. And the last fragment of the page - area with the logos of our partners and our customers' reviews, arranged in two columns:



        Left column occuppies 2/3 of the available display area, the right one - 1/3. Since the previous area with columns is already closed, we can again use the shortcode [trx_columns]. Since the number of logos of partners is more than the number the corresponding area can fit, we are putting them in the shortcode [trx_section] with parameters that create a block with scrolling: [trx_section scroll = "yes" dir = "horizontal" controls = "yes" ... ]
        Shortcode [trx_testimonials] (which displays customer reviews) is created as a slider, so you don't have to include any additional steps for creating the scroll.
        So, the code of the last part of the page looks like this: [trx_columns count="3"]

        [trx_column_item span="2"]
        <h2>Some of our clients</h2>
        [trx_section scroll="yes" dir="horizontal" height="120" controls="yes" bottom="30" right="30"]

You only need to assign the newly created page as Homepage. To do this:

  1. Select the menu item Settings - Readings



  2. In the filed Front page displays select "A static page (select below)", and in the list "Front page:" choose the page you have created.

Homepage with sidebar

Now, let's consider a variant of creating a home page, which is identical to that which we have described above, except for using the sidebar to the right of the page.

This is really easy! Let's use the page that we have previously created inthis section.

The page is ready! We only need to enable the sidebar. To do that, you need to set Page options -> Blog -> Stream page -> Show main sidebar -> Right

After that you neet to save the page.

Homepage with sidemenu

Here you go. The next variant of the homepage is identical to the standard variant the we described in the first example. It only differs in presense of original side menu.

Let's again use the page that we have previously created inthis section.

First, let's disable the top menu bar with logo: Page options -> Blog -> Stream page -> Show Top panel -> Hide

We only need to enable the side menu. To do that, you need to set Page options -> Blog -> Stream page -> Show Left panel -> Yes

After that you neet to save the page.

Main Slider

Now, let's set up the main theme's slider.

Build-in Theme Slider

Built-in theme slider allows you to display Featured images from the posts of this category. You can select a category and specify the number of the posts displayed.

 

Revolution Slider

The theme is fully compatible with an extremely powerful and beautiful plugin - Revolution Slider.

After installation, in the admin panel's menu an item Revolution Slider will show up, using which you can create an unlimited number of sliders, and then set any of them as the main slider in the menu Appearance - Theme Options - Slider. To do this, set Revolution slider in the field Slider Engine, and specify the name of the slider in the Revolution Slider alias field.

Royal Slider

The theme is fully compatible with an extremely powerful and beautiful plugin - Royal Slider.

After installation, in the admin panel's menu an item Royal Slider will show up, due to which you can create an unlimited number of sliders, and then set any of them as the main slider in the menu Appearance - Theme Options - Slider. To do this, set Royal slider in the field Slider Engine, and specify the ID of the slider in the Royal Slider ID field.

Blog

Now, you have finished up the appearance of the homepage of your website. It is time to start a blog.

Please notice that blog is a very handy tool for company news and events page, so it's not just for bloggers. Besides that we use blog functionality to create awesome galleries for your portfolio. To use the blog's functionality in our theme, you need to create the blog stream page. To do this, you need to:

  • Go to Pages under the WordPress menu and then click on Add New.
  • Put your Title as usual ("Blog streampage" for example)
  • Choose "Blog streampage" as the page's template

  • Publish this page.

IMPORTANT: It was an optional step. Even if you do not create a separate page for your blog stream page - you will still use the correct template to display a list of posts. However, creating a separate page will give you an extra advantage - you can set up individual features for blog streampage (position and type of sidebars, color scheme for each element on the page, etc.)

Now, assign the newly created page as "Posts page" (blog streampage). To do this:

  1. Select the menu item Settings - Readings


  2. In the field Front page displays select "A static page (select below)" , and in the list "Posts page:"choose the page you have created. .

Blog Items

Now you can create blog posts.

  • Go to Posts under the WordPress menu and then click on Add New.
  • Put your Title as usual.
  • Put Content if needed.
  • Select one or more categories to the Categories.

  • Select desired Post Format.

    1. Standart - just set the featured image or without featured image.
    2. Gallery - add a gallery in the post with standard means of Wordpress (with Add Media button located above the editor). In the theme settings, you can specify whether you want to replace the original gallery with the built-in theme slider.
    3. Video - Add the YouTube or Vimeo video in the post with the shortcode[video]
    4. Audio - Add the Audio in the post with the shortcode[audio]
    5. Quote - Add text of the quotes (IMPORTANT: select it and mark as "Blockquote"), and after it - a link to the original source.
    6. Link - Add a link to the body of the post.
    7. Image - Add an image to the body of the post.
    8. Status - Add a one-row message to the body of the post.
    9. Aside - Add a short message to the body of the post.
    10. Chat - Normally, it contains a block of messages - correspondence of two or more people. For pretty formatting, you can use the shortcode [trx_chat].
  • For every post item it is needed to upload an image and to set it as a featured image. Click Set featured image on the right in the Featured Image section:

  • Click Select Files button and select image to upload (the full size image). WordPress will crop the image, depending on which portfolio template you will use.
  • After image was uploaded you need to set this image as featured. Click Use as featured image.



  • IMPORTANT: In the Post Options section, you can flexibly customize the appearance and behavior of each of the post: select or hide the slider above the post, select and set sidebars and their position (or hide the unnecessary ones), set up the display of different parts of the page and the post (information about the author, related posts , a comment block and many more). There are default setting for each post that are specified in the category to which the post belongs. If the settings are not specified in category - then they are inherited from the overlying category. If there is no settings specified in any of the parental categories - the settings indicated in Settings - Theme Options - Blog will be used.

  • Publish this post.

Portfolio

This section describes how to create portfolio page and add new items.

Our theme provides easy and powerful tools helping to create eye catching galleries. Portfolio items are just usual posts with improved look and feel features and work exactly as blog posts.

To get started you should create posts category that will contain your portfolio entries and subcategories.

  1. Navigate to Posts ->Categories ->Add New, name the category and add some description.
  2. Go to the bottom of the page and click on Blog and Single tab
  3. Unlock Blog style options
  4. Select one of the layouts that suits your needs. Later you can play around with the layouts and hover effects to achieve desired look and feel.




Now we have just created a category that will contain our portfilio items and display them proper way. If you add some subcategories to this main category they will inherit parent style unles you choose to override them at category options page. Lets add some portfolio items!

  1. Go to Posts -> Add New, name the post accordingly
  2. In the right colomn find Categories widget and select "Portfolio" category - thus we move usual post entry into portfolio section.
  3. Set featured image and save the post. Please notice - this featured image will be used as a primary portfolio image so make sure it has good quality.




To add portfolio page to main menu navigate to Appearance -> Menus, select newly created category and add it to main(or any other) menu, save the menu and you are done!





Reviews

Reviews can be created on the basis of any post of any category. How it works:

  1. In Settings - Theme Options - Reviews add the required number of evaluation criteria. These criteria will be available when editing any post in any category. If your website publishes reviews in only one direction (for example, "Movies"), then you may leave it like this.
  2. Of course, we understand that to evaluate different areas (music, movies, technology, etc.) you need a completely different assessment criteria. Therefore, you can override the list of criteria in each category. To do this, open Posts - Categories, select a category you need at the bottom , in the section "Custom settings for this category" on the tab Reviews add new criteria for evaluation.
    IMPORTANT: The criteria established for a category is valid for all the posts in this category and sub-categories in it.
  3. Now, in any post, you can assess the subject of the article in the section Post Options on the tab Reviews:



As a result you will see similar reviews panel on post pages

IMPORTANT: If you change the list of categories for the current post, first press "Update" ("Publish" if you save it for the first time) and then proceed with the installation of Review parameters . If your newly selected category is assigned a separate list of Review criteria, it will appear on the tab "Reviews" only after you save (update) the post!

IMPORTANT: In Settings - Theme Options - Reviews you can choose the rating system for your posts: 5 stars, 10 stars or 100%. You can easily switch from one rating system to another at any moment!

Filter pages

Another great feature of the theme is built in post filters helping to sort posts according to their type of content in a simple and intuitive way. Among other posts you can select pages only containing reviews, Video only, Gallery Only, Audio Only

Lets see an example how to create a page that contains only posts with reviews. To do that we will have to use "Reviews filter" . For pages Videos filter, Audios filter or Galleries filter (if needed) configuration should be done the same way.

Only Reviews

Let's set up an "Reviews filter" page. To do this, you need to:

  • Go to Pages under the WordPress menu and then click on Add New.
  • Add page Title as usual ("Only Reviews" for example)
  • Choose "Only Reviews" as the page's template
  • Publish this page.


Now you can add this page to the menu, and your site visitors will be able to pick from the entire number of posts only those containing Reviews. To adjust this page you can use theme options panel in the bottom of edit page.

Only Videos

Video filter page is similar to "Only Reviews"(see above)

Only Audios

Audio Filter page is similar to "Only Reviews"(see above)

Custom pages

Now we can prepare the other pages of our blog. This is not required, but if you want to change the display settings on Page 404, Archive pages or Search results - you have to create separate pages and customize them.

Consider the example of the Page 404. For pages Archive pages or Search results (if needed) configuration should be done the same way.

Page 404

Let's set up an error 404 page. To do this, you need to:

  • Go to Pages under the WordPress menu and then click on Add New.
  • Put your Title as usual ("Page 404" for example)
  • Choose "Page 404" as the page's template



  • In "Page Options" area we set up the display of this page:
    • We are hiding the header area of ​​the page - Customization -> Header & Footer in the field "Show Top of page section" choose "No"
    • We are hiding the additional info of ​​the page - Blog and Single -> Single Page in the field "Show post info" choose "No"
    • We are hiding the right sidebar - Customization -> Sidebars in the field "Show main sidebar" select "Hide (without sidebar)"
    • We are removing details of (author, related posts, comments) - Blog and Single -> Single Page select "No" in corresponding fields
  • Publish this page.

As a result, when you try to open non existing page on your site you will see page containing this message:



NOTICE! You can not preview 404 page using wordpress View page or Preview changes button. You should type incorrect site URL to see 404 page.

To customize this page you should edit page template file in any text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. Open root folder of your theme and find /templates folder. This folder contains post-layout-404.php file. You can open it in any text editor and chage HTML code according to your needs.

Archives

Archives Page Setup is similar to "Page 404"(see above)

Theme has 11 custom widgets. Have a look in Appearance - Widgets.



Here you should just populate selected sidebar with widgets and assign this sidebar to any page, post or category. Simply drag and drop selected widget to sidebar area as shown on an image below.



To add a sidebar to page simply go to Pages -> Edit page you want to modify, in the bottom of the page find Sidebars and select a sidebar you want to associate with this page. Click on Update button in top right corner, this will save changes to the page.

Custom widgets:

  1. ThemeREX - Advertisement block: Used to insert advertising blocks - images with links or arbitrary HTML-blocks. IMPORTANT: Be careful to use extraneous HTML-code inorder not to disrupt the design of the page.
  2. ThemeREX - Subcategories List: Used to show subcategories list (children of selected category)
  3. ThemeREX - Flickr photos: Shows photos from Flickr account.

Then, click the "Create a new application", fill in the required fields and generate "Access token" and "Access token secret". As a result, you will get four important core values to work with Twitter API 1.1:
    • Consumer key
    • Consumer secret
    • Access token
    • Access token secret
    You will need these fields to configure the widget "ThemeREX - Twitter" in Appearance - Widgets

Contact form: This widget is not supplied, but you can easily create it using the widget "Text": just add widget "Text" in the right sidebar and paste the shortcode [trx_contact_form] into this widget. That's all!

Shortcodes

Shortcodes are a cool feature in WordPress that essentially allows you to do some pretty incredible things by just inserting a shortcode into a page or post. Using Shortcodes is a breeze, just insert one where you want the relevant content to show up.

The theme comes pre-packed with a number of shortcodes allowing you to add the info easier.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure to always start new shortcodes from new lines. Most of the time you wont encounter any errors if you don't do that but unfortunately WordPress does mess up the html sometimes. This is true for all shortcodes, but the inline ones like trx_highlight, those are the only ones that don't need a new paragraph.

Please note that almost all the shortcodes allow parameters:

  • id - unique id for element. Allow to address this element form javascript or CSS
  • class - class name for element. Allow set up additional decorations for element in CSS stylesheets.
    IMPORTANT: You can use next common classes to decorate any shortcode:
    • theme_accent - main (accent) theme color used for decorate inner text of the shortcode
    • theme_accent_bg - main (accent) theme color used as background (instead bg image) of the shortcode
    • theme_accent_bgc - main (accent) theme color used as background color of the shortcode
    • theme_accent_border - main (accent) theme color used as border color of the shortcode (if border present)
    • theme_accent2 - accent2 theme color used for decorate inner text of the shortcode
    • theme_accent2_bg - accent2 theme color used as background (instead bg image) of the shortcode
    • theme_accent2_bgc - accent2 theme color used as background color of the shortcode
    • theme_accent2_border - accent2 theme color used as border color of the shortcode (if border present)
    • texture_bg_1 ... texture_bg_10 - set texture image for the shortcode's background
    • bg_pattern_0 ... bg_pattern_9 - set pattern image for the shortcode's background (repeat, fill background)
    • bg_image_1 ... bg_image_6 - set image for the shortcode's background (no repeat, fit to background)
    You can combine classes above. For example, we need section with theme color for background and texture 1:
    [trx_section class="theme_accent_bg texture_1"]Section inner text[/trx_section]
  • top, bottom, left, right the value of which is the number - the margin in pixels from the top, bottom, left and right of the block respectively.

Also, note that "on | off" and "yes | no" in values of the parameters are interchangeable! That is, if the shortcode's description indicates that the value of a parameter can be "on" or "off", it means that along with them you can use the "yes" or "no".

Here's a list of the shortcodes included into the theme.

trx_accordion

Creates blocks of the "accordion" type. Only one of the blocks can be open at a time.

Parameters:
  • initial - (number). The number of the initially open block (from 1 to the number of blocks). Attention: if you want to make all accordion items to be closed initially, just write parameter initial greater, than items count!

WooCommerce

Woocommerce is an industry leader e-commerce plugin for Wordpress. Another good news is that our theme is fully compatible with this great tool, allowing you to turn your website into sales machine in just few clicks. You simply need to install this plugin and allow it to create a set of pages to display categories, products etc. Then, you need to add a set of products.

We highly encourage you to read great documentation files Woocommerce offers. These manuals help to create effective and reliable on line stores providing more features than you can imagine. Here is a list of really useful links helping to create and polish your shop

A few words should be also said about how to set a page set created with WooCommerce. After you created these pages using the plugin, please open the menu "Pages" and set the display parameters for each of the pages. Setting of the the pages for WooCommerce is similar to the settings of Home pages and is described in this section.

Please, remember that amongst all pages of the WooCommerce set, the page "Shop" has a priority status. It is a sort of a 'blog stream page' for the list of your products and categories. That is why, you can set your store's display by changing parameters of the page "Shop" in menu "Pages" (main theme color, availability and position of sidebars, etc).

Emailer - mass e-mail distribution and collection of subscription lists

You periodically send newsletters to the list of customers? Then, Emailer from ThemeREX will be a great alternative to cumbersome and mailing services (often paid).

What we offer:

  • Emailer will help you to automatically create and update mailing listsÑŽ
  • You can easily create a mailing list for an arbitrary list of clients, or you can use one of the lists as the basis, completing it with arbitrary set of addresses from a text file.
  • Sent letters can be decorated using a standard WordPress editor.
  • It's possible to add an attachment-file (a document or an archive) to the e-mail.

To enable "Emailer" select "Yes" in the field "Enable Emailer in admin panel" (page "Appearance - Theme Options"). You will get a new menu item "Tools" - "Emailer".

How it works

Distribution lists - shortcode [trx_emailer]

If you want visitors of your website to be able to subscribe to any kind of newsletters, simply create a page (post) with description (advertising) of your mailing, and add a shortcode [trx_emailer group = "mail_delivery_name"] to it, where mail_delivery_name is a name of the list of subscribers. That's it!

As a result, a field to enter email address will appear on the page:


where your visitors can leave their e-mail address (with option dbl-in checking):



and after confirmation their email appear in the subscribers list:



Using menu Tools - Emailer you will do a distibution for this list:

You see two sets of fields:

  • on the left - a field to create subject and a message itself, as well as a field to select an attachment to the e-mail (if necessary)
  • on the right - field to select one of the previously created mailing groups. If you want to create a newsletter for an arbitrary list of addresses, in this field you don't have to choose anything, but simply insert the e-mail address list into the next field - "List of recipients". Each address in this field ("List of recipients") must begin from a new line or you must put signs ";" or "" between the addresses.
    If you chose a group form the list, the field List of recipients will display the list of e-mail addresses from that group. IMPORTANT: In this list, you will see only confirmed addresses! Under the list of recipients, you can specify name and e-mail adress of the newsletter sender . If these fields are not filled out, the data are collected from WordPress settings: menu Settings - General.
    To the right from the field of group selection, there is a set of switchers that allow to manage current group:
    • Update - update the list of e-mail addresses when sending an e-mail (if you edited it in the field below)
    • Clear - delete unconfirmed addresses from the list of e-mail addresses when sending an e-mail
    • Deleter - delete the entire group after sending an e-mail

May the work with your mailings be pleasant, and most importantly, profitable!

PO Composer and MO Generator

Any of you have probably faced the problem related to theme localization for Wordpress. To be more specific, the localization itself do not cause any problems, but futher updates may bring some troubles: we get a new .po-file, where some lines have changed, some have added, and some of them have deleted. And all of it is scattered about the file in different place!

For instance, you bought the theme that includes only the english version. Normally, these are the files "en-EN" or "en-GB" located in the subfolder "languages of the theme folder. You need translation into your mother language, e.g. German. You have copied the files "en-GB.po"and "en-GB.mo" inside the folder 'language' and have named them "de-DE.po"and "de-DE.mo" respectively.

Then, you have launched the programm for editing the .po-files (e.g., POEdit) and translated all strings into German. Congrats! You've done such a huge job!

However, after a while you find out that an update of your theme was released! You download it and... here comes the most interesting part :( The translation file has changed! It now has new lines, and some of the old ones have changed. How to find what exactly have changed? Obviously, you don't want to translate it all over again...

Or, you simply want to create translation file for your languange, but you don't have a .po-file editor. Sure, you can edit a .po-file using a regular text editotr. But how to get a corresponding .mo-file?

For many of customers, these problems become one of the reasons why they stop updating their themes. Of course, another good reason is the fact, that users have already made a lot of chages to the theme (logo, style tables etc).

By the way, to make update of WordPress themes easier, it is not recommended to make changes into the theme files, it is preferable to create a child theme based on your theme, and make all changes there. In that case, after updating of the parent theme, you at least won't lose the changes you've made.

What we offer:

  • "PO Composer" will help you solve one of the problems related to theme update: it will help you easily find new and not changed strings for translation. Basically, it will simply prepare an updated translation file for you, where all the strings you have translated before will be added. If you like, you'll be able to move all translated strings to the end of the file. And to do (to be more precise, to complete) translation will be easy as ABC.
  • Using the "PO Composer" you will also be able to edit any .po-files (both already existing on your server and the ones being uploaded), and then generate corresponding .mo-fiels for them.
  • If the theme is allowed a record to the folder "languages", it will be able to update the .po-file in the folder with the current theme independently!

To enable "PO Composer" select "Yes" in the field "Enable po-composer in admin panel" (page "Appearance - Theme Options"). You will get a new menu item "Tools" - "PO Composer".

How PO Composer works

Now, you opened the "PO Composer" page in the menu "Tools - PO Composer". What's next?

PO Composer page

You see two sets of fields: on the left - the fields to select .po-file to edit (a file from the folder with a parent or child theme, any downloadable file, or even text from the Clipboard); on the right - fields to select. Po-file to be merged with the one selected on the left (if needed). If you do not want to merge files, but only edit one of them - simply do not select anyting in the right section.

So, what options are available?

  1. Upload .po-file - This option allows to selcet any .po-file from your computer and upload it for editing.
  2. Edit .po-text - This option allows text of any .po-file into the text field and edit it.
  3. Parent languages/parent_xxx - This option allows to select one of the .po-files in the folder"languages" of the parent theme on your server.
  4. Child languages/child_xxx - This option allows to select one of the .po-files in the folder "languages" of the child theme on your server (this option is available only if the child theme is active at the moment)

If you tick "Move translated strings down" - in the .po-files all translated strings will be moved at the end of the file.

Variants of use:

  1. If you want to edit one of the language files in the fodler with parent or child theme:
    In the left block of settings, select an option "parent_xxx" or "child_xxx", where "xxx" is the name of the translation file you want to edit, and then click the button "Load" under the left block.

    Edit language file

    The text of the selected file will appear in the field for editing:

    Edit language file

    You can make changes directly to this file. Attention! Be very careful when editing these files. It is important not to break the structure of the file and not to remove special characters accidentally. Therefore, this way of editing can only be recommend to very experienced users.
    Fortunately there is another, much safer way: switch to the tab"Strings editor"and you will see the list of strings for translation. Below the list, there is a field for editing the current string. You simply scroll through the list and edit string by string. Strings that have been translated appear in the list in a different color.

    Edit strings list
    When finished editing - switch back to the tab "Plain text" and click "Update" to generate .mo-file and update the file on the server (if allowed to record on this file).

    Update after editing

    After updating the information on the server, you'll get links (buttons) for download of generated. PO and. MO-files. If the server has permission for file record in the subfolder "/ languages" of the theme folder - the relevant files will be automatically updated. If the record is prohibited - just download the generated files using the links and update them on your server manually.

    Update after editing

  2. Editing the random .po-file:
    In the left block of settings, select the option Upload .po-file and click the button "Upload" below the left block.

    Upload file

    The text of the selected file will appear in the edit box:
    Edit language file

    All further steps are completely analogous to those we have described in the previous example.
  3. Editing text from the Clipboard:
    In the left block of settings, select the option Edit .po-text and into the text field insert the text from the Clipboard:

    Edit plain text

    All further steps are completely analogous to those we have described in the previous examples (see above).
  4. Merging different versions of translation file:
    For example, you are using the child-theme. You have updated the parent theme, and the folder with the child-theme in the subfolder "languages" contains old language files. . You want to update the language file in the child-theme by adding the new and changed strings of the updated theme and keeping all your previously translated strings. On the left, you need to select "parent_xxx", and on the right - "child_xxx" (where "xxx" is the language code) and press the button "Merge":

    Merge files

    The text of the merged file will appear in the edit box:
    Edit merged file

    All further steps are completely analogous to those we have described in the previous examples (see above).

Forget the agony with the translation update ;)!
