Convert

Last Updated On
ATTENTION: This documentation is about the new version of Convert. If you are using the legacy version visit its documentation page here.

Server Requirements

If you already have WordPress installed, it means that you meet the minimum server requirements and you can perfectly install this theme without any issues. To get the most out of your website though, you should get in touch with your web host and ask them if they meet the following criteria:

  • PHP version 7.4 or greater.
  • MySQL version 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.1 or greater.
  • HTTPS support.

Prerequisites

Ignition Framework

This theme requires our free Ignition framework plugin to be installed. Simply visit the Downloads area, download the Ignition Framework plugin, upload it through your Dashboard > Plugins > Add new and Activate it.

It really doesn’t matter if you install the theme or the plugin first. Just make sure to install both in order to get the whole functionality.

For more information about the installation procedure along with some small videos check out this article.

Theme installation

Here is a quick video guide to install Convert and the Ignition Framework:

Installing the theme is a very simple process. Go to your dashboard under Appearance > Themes > Add new, click Upload Theme and upload the zip file. Once uploaded click Install Now and then the Activate Theme link.

Once the theme is installed and activated you will be forwarded to the theme’s onboarding page.

Here you will be prompted to install and activate the Ignition Framework plugin if you haven’t done so already. Here you can also install our free custom blocks plugin, GutenBee. Through the onboarding page you have access to many useful links, such as the theme’s documentation, our knowledge base articles and direct links to our support hub.

In the Sample Content tab of the onboarding page you can install and activate all the plugins required to import the sample content and proceed with its installation. More info on that on the next section.

NOTE: The only plugin required for the theme to work properly is the Ignition Framework plugin, all other plugins are entirely optional if you don’t need their functionality or are not planning on importing the sample content. You can safely skip installing and activating them if you are sure you don’t need them.

How to import the sample content

If you like what you see in our demo website you can simply import the sample content. This means that a close approximation of our demo website will be imported in your WordPress installation. Now all you have to do is simply replace the content of these pages with your content. Importing the sample content can help serve as a basis on which you can continue to build and expand your site, however keep in mind that this procedure is entirely optional.

Here is a helpful video guide:

  • In your WordPress dashboard visit Appearance > Theme Options > Sample Content.
  • Click Install and then Activate for each of the required plugins.
  • Click the Get Started button and in the next screen, move over the screenshot of the builder/variation of your preference and click the Import Demo button.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the import mechanism some links may link back to our demo website. If you are not sure how to update / change these links simply get in touch and we’ll help you out.

Image sizes

Web page loading times are greatly affected by the size of your images. For best results make sure to use images with the recommended dimensions as described below:

  • Main post thumbnail: 870x580px
  • Item: 615x410px
  • Large Item: 1170x780px
  • Article Media 510x510px
  • Mini-cart items 160x160px
NOTE: If for any reason you want to change the dimensions of any of the predefined image sizes you have to use a plugin. This guide describes this process.
NOTE: All image sizes are the minimum recommended, adding larger image sizes will result in cropping them to fit these sizes

Setting up site-wide sections

It’s considered a good practice to set up the areas of your website that you won’t be editing a lot in the future, like the general site layout, the header, footer and some secondary functionality.

General Site Options

You can change your general site options under Appearance > Customize > Site Options. Under the Layout section you can control your site’s, blog’s and single blog post’s layout, as well as the site width and content/sidebar column ratio. The layout can then be overridden in each post/page individually. Under the Colors tab you can select the basic color palette for your installation and add a background image. Finally under Typography you can select the ideal font pairing from a full list of Google Fonts and customize font properties for key elements on desktop and mobile devices alike. You also have the option to disable Google Fonts altogether.

The header on the theme consists of three key elements:

1. Top Bar
2. Logo
3. Main Menu

The layout of the header can be set globally under Customize > Header > Layout.

Top Bar

To edit the top bar go to Customize > Top Bar. Here you can toggle the top bar entirely and fill the 3 content areas with simple text, plain HTML, or shortcodes. Refer to the shortcodes section below for information regarding the shortcodes.

Logo

Alternative logo will appear when the header you selected is transparent. You can set your site icon here also

The recommended maximum width of your logo is 200px while you can use any height you want. To upload your logo go to Customize > Site Identity. You can upload two logos. The normal and the alternative one. The alternative logo can be used if you want a different logo to appear when the header layout is set to Transparent under Customize > Header > Layout.

This article offers more information regarding the header and its options.

Main Menu

If you are not familiar with WordPress menus here is a detailed guide.

Navigate to Customize > Menus. Enter a menu name (It can be anything you like) and click on the Create Menu button. In the next page click the Add Items button and start adding items to the menu. Now all you have to do is assign this menu to a location through the Menu Locations section, check the Main menu location and you are done. Your navigation menu should be now visible on your website.

Create a menu button

You can create a special button-like menu item by setting a certain class for to it. The class name is nav-button and you can set it under Appearance > Menus for the item you want. First enable this section from Screen Options.

This is a predefined class you can use for your menu items

The page title section

Here you can select the main hero section global image and settings

The page title section can be modified under Customize > Page title. You can choose to disable the page title section’s background image entirely, change its height, alignment, content and toggle the site’s breadcrumbs. Under the Colors section you can set a background color, a background image, an overlay color and also set the primary and the secondary text colors.

In some cases, like in our demo website, you might want to have different background images on different posts, pages and custom post types.

To achieve that create or edit a page. Under Page Settings > Page Title > Colors locate the Background Image field. Upload a new image and preview this page. As you can see we have successfully overridden the image set in the Customizer settings.

NOTE: The purpose of the Transparent header option is to have your main header components (Top bar, Logo & Main Menu) on top of a background image or background color which means that you have to set on in the Customize > Page title > Color section.

In our Knowledge Base you can find more info about the page title section, the breadcrumbs and the page template overrides.

The footer area is a widgetized area that can be populated with widgets through Customize > Widgets. You can also remove the credits at the very bottom of this area by visiting Customize > Footer > Credits content section. You can also adjust the colors by setting a background color & image and modify the border, title and text colors.

In the Credits content section you can add your copyright information and use any of the shortcodes included in the Ignition Framework.

Utilities

Lightbox

The theme offers a lightbox for your images which is by default disabled to avoid conflicts with third party plugins which offer lightboxes. If you want to use it you can enable it under Customize > Utilities > Lightbox.

Weather

You will need to setup an API key in order weather to work

You can choose to show the weather for a chosen location using the weather shortcode anywhere inside your installation. First you will need to set it up by providing an API key and location under Customize > Utilities > Weather.

Block editor Dark Mode

Some themes might have a dark color scheme which is reflected in the block editor, this can make working with certain blocks a bit harder. Enabling the editor dark mode using the provided checkbox will apply certain styles to the editor in order to improve the content creation experience.

Setting up the pages

NOTE: All blocks used in the construction of the pages below are provided by the GutenBee plugin unless mentioned otherwise.

Homepage

Create a new page from Pages > Add New, then select from the right side under Summary the Full width template. Then from Page Settings > Content Area check the Remove top/bottom content padding, from Page Settings > Header set the Header Type to Normal and from Page Settings > Page Title set all options to hide. Now we are ready to start adding GutenBee blocks in order to re-create the demo’s homepage layout.

The homepage’s hero section consists of a GutenBee container block with the Theme Grid option enabled. It contains two columns. The left column contains a heading and a paragraph block. The right column is intentionally left empty.

The callout section below the homepage hero consists of a container block with a single column and the Theme Grid option enabled. Inside it we find another container block with two columns. The left column contains a paragraph and a heading block and the right one contains a single button block.

Next up is the services presentation section. This consists of a container block with a single column and the Theme Grid option enabled, inside we find a single column, with a heading, a paragraph, a divider and a post types block with the service post type selected displaying 3 items in 3 columns.

The Case Studies section following the services has the exact same layout. Its two differences are, the outer container block has a background color set under Block Appearance and the inner post types block displays 4 portfolio items in a 2 column layout.

The next call to action section consists of a container block with the Theme Grid option enabled and a background image set under Block Appearance. Inside we find two columns. The left one houses a paragraph, a heading, another paragraph and a button. The right column is intentionally left blank.

The Latest News section has the same layout as the Services & Portfolio sections above. The post types block displays 6 posts in a 3 column layout.

Same goes for the team section following the news. The post types block displays 6 team members in a 3 column layout.

The partner section again starts with a container block with the Theme Grid option enabled. Inside we find 5 columns. Each column contains an image block with the partner’s logo.

Finally the last call to action section consists of a container block with the Theme Grid option enabled and a background image set under Block Appearance and is very similar with the previous one. Inside we find two columns. The left one houses a paragraph and a heading. The right column contains the section’s button.

Creating Event, Portfolio, Team Member and Service listing pages

Create a new page under Pages > Add New. Set the page template under Summary section to Full width boxed. Then select a background image from Page Title > Colors section, and select to show the page title over it from Page Title > Layout section by selecting Show Page Title with Background.

The grids are created using the GutenBee Post Types block. Start by adding the block in the editor, select one of the available Styles (default and overlay are available on Convert) and proceed to set up your post query. From the post type dropdown pick the post type you want to display, the number of post items, columns, pagination, toggle category filters (post items need to be in categories, if enabled ignores pagination) and more. Once done you can add more blocks to the page if you want, or publish the page.

Careers page

Create a new page under Pages > Add New, add a new GutenBee Container block with two columns. The left column contains two sets of Core Heading/Core Paragraph blocks. The right one hosts a Youtube embeded video.

Next add a Core Table block and set its style to Convert. Fill in the table contents and set the header section to appear under Table Settings

Contact us page

This will serve as your contact page, with a contact form, map and some details for your business. We are using Contact Form 7 plugin to display a contact form, but you can use any plugin you wish.

Create a new page from Pages > Add New. Under Summary set the template to Full width.

Start with a Google Maps block and set your location and info.

Next we have a Container block with two columns. On the left column we have 4 icon boxers with all the relevant contact info and icons. In the right column we have a Core Shortcode block with the Contact Form 7 shortcode. Alternatively you can use Contact Form 7’s block or any other contact plugin you prefer.

Moliere – Legacy

Last Updated On

About Moliere

Moliere is a powerful Hotel theme with a unique design and  vast customization options.

Image Sizes

The minimum recommended image sizes for Moliere are:

  • Post thumbnail: 850x478px
  • Item thumbnail: 615x346px
  • Media Item tall: 615px unlimited in height
  • Large Item image: 1260x709px
  • Article Image: 510x510px
  • Hero image: 1700x956px
Notice, the original demo images are not redistributed (unless noted). Instead blurred equivalents will be imported while installing the sample content.

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.

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

  • WooCommerce: To enable eCommerce functionality for your website
  • 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.
  • Contact Form 7: Use the plugin in order to get booking and contact forms on sample content import

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.

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.

This plugin requires a PHP version of at least 5.3.x, but we recommend version 5.6.x or better yet 7.x. Please contact your hosting company and ask them to update the PHP version for your site.

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.

Go to Appearance > Customize and you will see this:

TIP 1: Any changes you make in the tabs below will be previewed live on the site which appears in right side of the screen, however to save these changes you need to click the Save & Publish button on the top of the bar, if you have made a change but see the button grayed out (for example changed the font size of a heading), move the cursor outside the input box, for example, to the next input box, then the button should be clickable again.
TIP 2: You can hide any customization section your don’t need to appear in the customizer under Appearance→Customizer Settings.

Post Type Templates

The post types block offers templates which allow you to change the structure of the grid items. To do that you will first need to create a child theme, or if using the one of our themes grab it from our downloads section.

Once you have the child theme installed create a folder inside it called template-parts and inside that create another folder called gutenbee.

Next navigate to the /wp-content/plugins/gutenbee/src/blocks/post-types-templates/ folder of the GutenBee plugin and copy the article-default.php and article-media.php files in the /template-parts/gutenbee/ folder you have created in the previous step.

Now you can edit these two files with your preferred code editor and modify the markup according to your needs. The article-media.php takes care of the appearance of grid items when the grid has only one column, and the article-default.php works for 2-4 columned layouts.

Notice, the original demo images are not redistributed (unless noted). Instead blurred equivalents will be imported while installing the sample content.

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.

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

  • WooCommerce: To enable eCommerce functionality for your website
  • 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 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.

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.

This plugin requires a PHP version of at least 5.3.x, but we recommend version 5.6.x or better yet 7.x. Please contact your hosting company and ask them to update the PHP version for your site.

This is a brief overview of adding products to your site, the product post type is a complex one, if you haven’t worked with it before please consider reading the official documentation on how to add and manage products here.

Setup the shop page

Once you install and activate WooCommerce all the default pages will be created, including the shop listing page. To make sure this was properly configured go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display and check if the Shop page is selected in the Shop Page drop down.

If the drop-down is empty, locate the Shop page and select it.  If you can’t find a page named Shop, just go to Pages > Add New create one and then set it as your shop page. Add this page to your menu to give your visitors access to the product listing.

Theme Pages

Let’s start by adding the first few basic pages you are going to need. Go to Pages > Add New and create the following pages:

Front Page Page

First  create a page named Home and set to it the Front page Template from the Page Attributes drop down on the right. To add content to your front page go to Customize > Widgets or Appearance > Widgets and use the theme’s widgets to help you display your content. You will notice that in your Front page template page under the WordPress text Editor you have a Front page Options section.

Hero Section

This the basic section before the contents of your page and you can :

  1. Add A Page title.
  2. Add a Page subtitle.

Also you can style your Hero with a background image:

  1. Align the Title.
  2. Hide the Page title.
  3. Add a Background Color or an Overlay color in case you have a background image with the same color of your Hero title or subtitle.
  4. Add a background Video, from YouTube or Vimeo.

  2. Add a button URL

In the Slider Tab you can select a MaxSlider Slideshow to appear instead of a hero image or choose to not have a slideshow at all.

Here you can add/edit widgets that will fetch your posts, products, categories or pages. We have 4 premade Front Pages for you.

This is a brief overview of adding products to your site, the product post type is a complex one, if you haven’t worked with it before please consider reading the official documentation on how to add and manage products here.

Setup the shop page

Once you install and activate WooCommerce all the default pages will be created, including the shop listing page. To make sure this was properly configured go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display and check if the Shop page is selected in the Shop Page drop down.

If the drop-down is empty, locate the Shop page and select it.  If you can’t find a page named Shop, just go to Pages > Add New create one and then set it as your shop page. Add this page to your menu to give your visitors access to the product listing.

Theme Pages

Let’s start by adding the first few basic pages you are going to need. Go to Pages > Add New and create the following pages:

Front Page Page

First  create a page named Home and set to it the Front page Template from the Page Attributes drop down on the right. To add content to your front page go to Customize > Widgets or Appearance > Widgets and use the theme’s widgets to help you display your content. You will notice that in your Front page template page under the WordPress text Editor you have a Front page Options section.

Hero Section

This the basic section before the contents of your page and you can :

  1. Add A Page title.
  2. Add a Page subtitle.

Also you can style your Hero with a background image:

  1. Align the Title.
  2. Hide the Page title.
  3. Add a Background Color or an Overlay color in case you have a background image with the same color of your Hero title or subtitle.
  4. Add a background Video, from YouTube or Vimeo.

Here, you can add a call-out button in your front page hero section. Under Frontpage Options you can

  1. Add a button text and
  2. Add a button URL

In the Slider Tab you can select a MaxSlider Slideshow to appear instead of a hero image or choose to not have a slideshow at all.

Setting Up the Frontpage

Blog

This will be your posts page. Just create and publish a blank default page named “Blog” (or whatever you wish to name it) without adding any content, no further action needed for now. You cannot control the background image from the Layout Section of this page since it is registered by WordPress.
