Getting Started

After installing the theme you will be redirected to this welcome screen. Here you can install both required and recommended plugins. While recommended plugins are optional for the theme to function, consider installing them if you want the full sample content to be imported.

Required Plugins

Here you will need to install and activate the theme specific plugin required by the theme. This will create Custom Post Types as well as various Widgets and Shortcodes. Some hosting providers block automatic installation of plugins. This means you will need to install the plugin manually as you would normally do. This plugin is located inside the /plugins/ folder in your theme archive.

Must have plugins

Under the Recommended Plugins tab you will find a list of supported plugins that are needed for the theme’s functionality. It is recommended to install and activate them before importing your sample content.

• Elementor: A free page builder that delivers high-end page designs and advanced capabilities.
• MaxSlider : Use this plugin to help you create custom sliders and use them anywhere you wish shortcodes.
• One Click Import : Use this plugin to help you import your content with just one click.

All the above are mandatory while these:

• WPForms use this plugin to create a contact form, then copy the shortcode it gives you and paste it in an empty page.
• WP Instagram Widget: Use the latest version of this plugin to help you display your Instagram feed in any of the theme’s sidebars.

plugins are complementary.

Installing Sample Content

To automate the process of importing and for a better experience we have included native support for One Click Import Plugin. From the Sample Content tab, you can click the Get Started button to navigate to the sample content import screen.

You can always find the import page under Appearance → Import Demo Data.

You can install it in the Recommended Plugins tab (2) or manually from From your WordPress dashboard

• • 1. Visit Plugins → Add New,
    2. Search for ‘One Click Demo Import’ and install the plugin,
    3. Activate ‘One Click Demo Import’ from your Plugins page.

Click on the Import Demo Data button and you are done!

Sometimes altering and editing sample content may go wrong. If you need a fresh start you can reset your WordPress installation using any popular reset Plugin. Beware: this will erase all data you have and not just the sample content.

Customizing Your Theme

All theme’s customizations and settings can be done via WordPress’s built-in Customizer. If you haven’t used it or want to learn more about it, please read this article.
