• PHP Function References - Detailed information on WordPress PHP functions and a lot of usage examples.

Theme Requirements

To use this theme you must be running at least WordPress 6.0, PHP 7.4 or higher.
External plug-ins may require additional limitations, like WooCommerce - WordPress 6.3+, etc.
If you use a hosting service with limited resources (e.g. GoDaddy!), you may experience issues with the "one-click" demo data installation.

We recommend that you contact your web hosting service provider to make sure that your server PHP configuration limits are as follows:

• max_execution_time 600
• memory_limit 128M
• post_max_size 32M
• upload_max_filesize 32M

Theme Installation

Unpacking the theme

Before installing the theme, please make sure you unpacked the archive and extracted the theme files. Some of the folders names may slightly vary. Treat the screenshot below as an example only.

The main package contains archives with the main theme, child theme, documentation and bundled plug-ins.

If you try to install the wrong files, you will get the missing style.css error. This is the most common error that means you are trying to install an incorrect package.

PLEASE NOTE!Quanzo archive contains 4 themes (skins) in one package that differ in design only.

Royal Blue

Emerald Green

Tiger Orange

Vibrant Red

In order to install the theme, you need to have a working version of WordPress installed on your server first. Check out this guide for detailed information on how to install WordPress. We also highly recommend updating your WordPress to the latest stable version.

There are 2 ways to install the theme:

• via FTP:
  1. Log into your web server with FTP client software.
  2. Unzip the quanzo.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /quanzo theme folder.
  3. Upload the extracted quanzo theme folder into /wp-content/themes.
  4. Navigate to the Appearance > Themes tab and activate the theme.
• via WordPress admin panel:
  1. Log into the WordPress admin panel.
  2. Navigate to Appearance > Themes and click on Add New and Upload Theme.
  3. Select the quanzo.zip folder and click Install Now button.
  4. After the successful installation, click on Activate or navigate to the Appearance > Themes and click on Activate button to activate the newly installed theme.
  5. Install and activate ThemeREX Addons plug-in.
  6. Quanzo archive contains 4 themes (skins) in one package that differ in design only. In "Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > Skins" section select the skin and click on the "Choose skin" button. Depending on the skin selected, the list of plug-ins and demo data may vary.

You can also watch our video tutorial on how to install a WordPress theme.

Attention! If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we recommend activating a child theme before demo data installation. Please see the Child Theme section for more information.

Plug-ins Installation

Below is the list of the plug-ins that come included into the theme.
Some of these plug-ins can also be installed from the WordPress.org repository.

• Contact Form 7
• Cookie Information (formerly WP GDPR Compliance)
• Elegro Crypto Payment
• Elementor (required)
• Essential Grid
• MailChimp for WordPress
• Slider Revolution
• ThemeREX Addons (required)
• ThemeREX Pop-Up
• ThemeREX Updater
• WooCommerce
• YITH WooCommerce Compare
• YITH WooCommerce Wishlist

You can find a detailed overview of each plug-in in the Plug-ins section of this documentation file.

There is only one required plug-in for proper theme functioning, and that is ThemeREX Addons. The rest of the plug-ins are recommended for installation, but not required.

To make the theme look exactly as on the demo page, you would need to install the recommended plug-ins:

1. After the installation/activation of ThemeREX Addons plug-in and theme activation, you will see a prompt with a list of plug-ins to install. Click on the Begin installing plugins link or go to Appearance > Install Plugins.
   
   
2. Check the plug-ins you want to install, select the Install option and click Apply. Installation may take a few minutes, please be patient and do not refresh the page.
   
   
3. Now, activate the plug-ins. Go to Appearance > Install Plugins, check all the listed plug-ins, choose Activate option and click Apply.

In case you are running a shared hosting with limited resources (e.g. GoDaddy), we do recommend enabling only the essential plug-ins (e.g. ThemeREX Addons, Elementor) and disable the rest. Otherwise, it may significantly increase the memory consumption, which might lead to unwanted issues.

PLEASE NOTE! The installation and activation of bundled plug-ins run automatically. Anyway, if you have any issues, please extract plugins.zip archive (from the theme package) and proceed with the plug-ins installation manually.

Gutenberg Compatibility

Our theme is compatible with Gutenberg page builder. You can create new pages using this editor, though you can still use pre-built custom header and footer layouts.

All existing demo pages and layouts are built through Elementor Page Builder and should be customized via Elementor ONLY.

PLEASE NOTE! It is possible to switch between the page builders. Please use One page builder for creating/customizing One particular page/post/layout.

Child Theme

If you want to make changes to the theme's files and functions, we recommend installing a child theme. This ensures that your theme customizations stay in place after the theme update. If you are not planning to change the core theme files, you are free to skip this chapter.

IMPORTANT! Install the child theme before importing the demo data. Otherwise, all of your theme options will be reset.

A child theme is installed the same way you install a parent theme. Locate the quanzo-child.zip file in the theme package and upload it via the WordPress admin panel. Alternatively, you can unzip it and upload via FTP (see main theme installation chapter).

Using a Child Theme

Your child theme has its own functions.php file. Use it to copy modified functions from the parent theme's functions.php, or register new functions.

You can copy all files from the parent theme into the child theme except files located in the following folders:

• /includes
• /plugins
• /theme-options
• /theme-specifics

In the /front-page folder, you can copy all files except front-page.options.php.

If the file you want to edit is in one of these folders, you need to copy the required function from that file, and register it in the child theme's functions.php.

The rest of the files can be copied and edited directly in the child theme folder.

When copying parent theme files into the child theme, preserve the original folder structure. Create respective folders and make sure that the file path is the same as in the parent theme.

Demo Content

Our theme includes a simple One-click demo data installation, which allows your site to look exactly as on the theme demo.

Before installing demo data, please make sure you have installed all the required plug-ins, check the Plug-ins installation section for more information.

In order to import the demo content go to Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > Theme Dashboard > Demo Data.

On the page that showed up set the required parameters.

Partial Import

When choosing the partial demo data import, the new content will be added to your existing data.

Although this will not overwrite your existing content, we still recommend backing up your website before doing this.

Note, that the pages are imported without the original images. Instead, the image placeholders are used. This is done to keep your existing content intact.

Import separate pages means that you receive the page structured like on our demo, just widgets set that requires further customization: you should replace demo categories/post ids with your own ones.

Full Import

When choosing this option, all the existing content of your website will be lost and replaced with the new data. We recommend using this option for new WordPress installations only.

Use the full import option if you want to have an exact copy of the theme demo. It enables you to import all media files, pages, theme options, and plug-in settings.

Some plug-ins increase the memory consumption. For example, BuddyPress and bbPress (not included into the theme's package) require additional 60-80Mb. If you are having trouble installing the demo data, deactivate massive plug-ins and try again.

In case demo data installation is stuck and you see "Error load data from the file ... " error message, you can manually install it by downloading the demo.zip archive from our server. Extract the archive to demo/ folder and upload this demo/ folder to wp-content/themes/quanzo directory.

Treat the screenshot below as an example only. The list of folders inside a theme package may vary.

If the issue persists, please contact your hosting service provider to make sure that your server configuration meets the Theme Requirements. Otherwise, please refer your request to our support department.

Header FAQs

Where can I change the header style for my website?

There are 2 ways to add a mobile header:

• via header Layouts - navigate to Layouts (WP Dashboard) > All Layouts; Please see elementor video tutorial or article.
  We recommend you to create separate custom header layout for mobile devices and specify it in the Appearance > Customize > Mobile section. This will increase the load speed of your website on mobile devices.
• in the Customizer - enable it in the Mobile Header section in Appearance > Customize > Header (works for Default Header style only!).

How can I set Header Side Menu?

The side menu improves your page navigation by letting you add links (i.e. anchors) to specific parts of your page. In order to enable the menu, go to Appearance > Customize > Header > Header Menu Position and select Right, Left or Right (only for anchors).

The side menu works in close connection with the Anchor widget. In order to add links to your side menu, insert Elementor Anchor widget into the corresponding section of your page.

All the Anchors added to your page will be detected automatically by the menu.

Additionally, you can add a smooth page scroll animation by enabling the Scroll to Anchor option in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Shortcodes.

Widgets

Widgets are the blocks of content that can be placed into specifically designed widget areas.

You can find the list of available widgets and widget areas under Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Widgets. Here it is possible to create additional widget sets that can be assigned to available default widget areas. This is useful when you have different widget sets for different pages.

By default our theme supports 7 widget areas:

• Header
• Sidebar
• Top of the page
• Above the content
• Below the content
• Bottom of the page
• Footer

You can add widgets into widget areas by simply dragging and dropping.

But in order to see them on your website, you need to make sure you have a particular widget set assigned to a particular default widget area. You can assign widget sets either for the whole website (in Appearance > Customize), or for a specific page (single Page > Theme Options > Widgets/Header/Footer).

IMPORTANT! The Sidebar/Footer widgets are available for "Default" sidebar/footer styles ONLY!
In order to manage Custom sidebar or footer styles, proceed to Dashboard > Layouts tab and update the corresponding sidebar/footer layout.

Customizing Widget Sets that are already enabled on a Specific Page

Depending on the selected page that is available for editing with Customizer's tools, you can notice a different kind of widgets sets included to a particular page. The same can be done through Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Widgets.

Below are options responsible for managing widgets/blocks.

After you reorder the position of the widgets/blocks in the sidebar, save your changes.

Colors

The theme allows you to assign color schemes to specific parts of your website. This is useful for highlighting certain areas and giving them a distinctive look.

Check this video tutorial for more information on how to customize color schemes.

The theme supports 2 color schemes - default (light) and dark.

IMPORTANT! Due to specifics of CSS rules, you are unable to assign a light color scheme to any website part, if the dark color scheme is enabled.

Here are the website parts to which you can assign color schemes:

• Site Color Scheme - defines the main color scheme of your website. If no other part of website has a color scheme specified explicitly, affects the whole website. Otherwise, affects the body background color, body typography and pretty much anything that is located below the header and above the footer areas (except sidebar).
• Header Color Scheme - modifies the color scheme of the header.
• Sidemenu Color Scheme - modifies the color of the side menu in Appearance > Customize > Header > Main Menu).
• Sidebar Color Scheme - affects the color of the sidebar. The Inherit option inherits the value specified in the Site Color Scheme setting.
• Footer Color Scheme - specifies the color of your footer.

You can also assign color schemes for individual pages in the Theme Options > Colors panel of those pages.

Color Scheme Editor

Here you can customize the color schemes of your website.

Three additional buttons are available:

• Reset - removes the current changes, made after your last saving.
• Copy - creates a new color scheme by duplicating the default one. Thus, it is possible to set different color schemes for particular pages and their parts.
• Delete - removes the current color scheme. You can delete only newly created color schemes. All default ones will remain.

Select the color scheme you want to customize and choose one of 2 modes (editor types) - simple or advanced.

In a simple mode, you can customize the accent colors (link colors) of a theme. If you want to dig deeper, switch to the advanced mode. You can entirely change the theme colors.

Both modes contain the following groups of settings:

MAIN

The main color group of a website. Here you can find the following elements:

• Background color - the main background color of a website; (for advanced mode only)
• Border color - color used for elements with a border; (for advanced mode only)
• Text - color for the main body text; (for advanced mode only)
• Text light - color used for additional meta elements, such as post author, date, comments, etc. (for advanced mode only)
• Text dark - color mainly applied for headings; (for advanced mode only)
• Link - color used not only as a link color, but also as the main accent color of a website. By default, this setting sets the Link hover color for the Alter color group.
• Link hover - the hover color of links, also used as the main accent color for the Alter color group;
• Link 2 - the second accent color;
• Link 2 hover;
• Link 3 - the third accent color;
• Link 3 hover;

ALTER

Alter means alternative color group, mostly applied for sidebar and footer. Alter colors include the same elements as the Main color group, plus two additional hover colors for border and background.

EXTRA

An additional color group for extra elements such as dropdowns, price blocks, table headers, etc.
As a rule, the text and background colors from the Extra group should contrast against the respective colors from the Main color group.

INVERSE

Inverse elements are elements that use the theme accent color (usually the main one) as a background color. In this way, they get distinctive look and stand out from the rest of the content. You can apply these settings for blockquotes, dropdowns, etc.

• Border color;
• Border hover;
• Text color - the main body text color; (for advanced mode only)
• Text dark - used for headings or other elements that need a darker color; (for advanced mode only)
• Text light - used for meta elements that provide additional information; (for advanced mode only)
• Link color - since the main accent color (i.e. the link color) sets the background color, you need to specify a different link color; (for advanced mode only)
• Link hover - the hover color of the link; (for advanced mode only)

INPUT (for advanced mode only)

Colors for input fields, text areas, select fields, etc.

• Background - background color of an input field;
• Background hover - background color when an input field is active;
• Border color;
• Border hover - border color when a field is active;
• Text - a regular text color, mainly used for the placeholder text when a field is not active;
• Text dark - the color of text when a field is active;
• Text light - used for text in a 'disabled' field;

In case the changes of the color schemes are not applied, please enable Debug mode (in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > General tab) and save ThemeREX Addons settings.

Layouts

Introduction to Layouts

Layouts is a tool that lets you create custom headers, footers, and other website sections, and is based on the Elementor Page Builder.

Layouts are available after you activate the ThemeREX Addons plug-in. After the activation, a new menu item appears in your WordPress admin panel.

Your theme comes with a number of pre-built Layouts. If you've imported the full content, they will be available for you from the start. Otherwise, you would need to generate them in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Theme Specific > Create Layouts.

Creating Layouts

In order to create a layout, navigate to Layouts (WP Dashboard) > Add New.

Layouts are built in a similar way you build regular pages with Elementor Page Builder. The difference is that Layouts expand the default list of widgets by adding layout-specific widgets and provide you with additional section settings.

Please check this article for detailed information regarding layouts customization.
You can also view our video tutorials about header and footer layouts customization.

When creating a Layout, first you need to specify the correct Layout type in the Item Options panel:

1. Header - the layout is applied only to output in the header area. It appears in the list of available headers in Appearance > Customize > Header > Header Style > Custom.
2. Footer - the layout is applied only to output in the footer area. It appears in the list of available footers in Appearance > Customize > Footer > Footer Style > Custom.
   
   

   You can also choose a different Header/Footer Layout for a specific page. Simply open that page in the WordPress admin, and in the Theme Options > Header/Footer panel edit the Header Style and Footer Style settings.

3. Submenu - the layout is used to create custom dropdown menu without installing Uber Menu/Mega Menu plug-ins. You can apply the submenu layout in the Appearance > Menus > Layout of submenu (optional) field.
   "Layout of submenu" field appears only when at least one submenu layout is created.
   Please view this article for more information about submenu layouts.
4. Sidebar - the layout is applied only to output in the sidebar area. It helps create custom sidebars using Elementor page builder. Thus, you are not limited to standard widgets and can use any elements available in the page builder. It appears in the list of available sidebars in the Appearance > Customize > General/Mobile/Blog/WooCommerce/Plugin Settings sections, in page > Theme Options > Sidebar > Sidebar style > Custom.
5. Blog - custom style or template to output the Blog Stream page or posts elements in Elementor "Blogger" widget, thus creating a blog stream page or page blocks with unique overall look. Use it in combination with Blog Item Parts widget, that lets you insert any post parts (featured image, title, meta data, content, custom fields) to page in any combination and in any quantity.
6. Custom - the standard layout fragment that can be added into a web page using an Elementor Page Builder Layouts widget.

Custom Layouts can be especially useful when you need to use the same section in different places on your website. Instead of building it from scratch on every new page, you can save it as a custom Layout and insert using a Layouts widget.

In order to add a custom Layout to a web page:

1. Add a new Elementor Page Builder section in the website editing screen.
2. In the left panel with elementor elements open "ThemeREX Addons Layouts" group, drag and drop the Layouts widget from the panel into your section.
3. Choose the desired custom Layout from the dropdown list ("Type" option should be set to "Default").

Blog Layout is just a scheme showing the position of post elements like featured image, post title, meta data, excerpt, etc. Use Blog Item Parts widget to output each element, like in the example below.

You can apply the blog layouts to:

• Blog Stream Page - create a page, choose "Blog Archive" template and in the Theme Options > Content > Blog style option find your blog layout. Treat the screenshot below just as an example.
• Blogger Widget - open a page/post, in the Elementor widget panel navigate to "ThemeREX Addons Elements group" and insert Blogger widget to the content area.

Layout Templates

In case there are some page fragments with more or less identical structure, you can create one layout using the Elementor Page Builder, save it as a template and use it as a foundation for your new Layout. Thus, there is no need to create a new layout or block each time. Please see this article for more information.

Open a Layout and click on the Add Template button from the editing screen (Elementor Page Builder's backend editor). Scroll down to view the available templates:

PLEASE NOTE! The demo content of the theme is assembled as separate pages that can be easily imported through Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > Theme Dashboard > Demo Data > Partial Import. Our theme comes with empty Elementor library.

Creating a Mobile Header in Layouts

Layouts is a preferred way of creating a mobile header since it gives you flexibility and control over your elements. Creating a mobile header is similar to creating a standard header, except there are several features you should know about in order to use Layouts more efficiently. Please see the official elementor video tutorial or article for more information.

We recommend you to create separate custom header layout for mobile devices and specify it in the Appearance > Customize > Mobile section. This will improve the website loading speed on mobile devices.

Layouts Widgets

Layout-specific widgets are additional widgets available for editing/creating layouts. They are especially useful for building headers and footers. You can find layout-specific widgets under the ThemeREX Addons Layouts group in the Elementor widgets panel.

Blog Item Parts

Inserts any post parts (featured image, title, meta data, content, custom fields) to your custom page fragment. This widget outputs 1 post part at a time. If you want to create a page block with unique structure, just use as many "Blog Item Parts" widgets as you need and output post parts in any combination and in any quantity.

Layouts: Cart

Displays a shopping cart icon (in case the WooCommerce plug-in is active). When clicked, the icon triggers a window with additional shopping details.

For narrow and normal row types, the cart displays the number of products in the cart, the sum total, and an icon label. The compact row type has a shopping cart with a product counter badge only.

Layouts: Featured image

Should be used for headers only. Displays a featured image of the current post/page. Often used in combination with the Title and Breadcrumbs widget.

The widget has to contain at least one element, otherwise the featured image would be hidden.

Layouts: Iconed text

Inserts an icon and two text lines. It is possible to add a URL to the icon.

Layouts

Inserts content in different ways, depending on the type of the layout:

• Default - displays one of the custom layouts available in WP Dashboard > Layouts post type. Please click here to view the list of available custom layouts.
• Popup - creates popup notifications that appear whenever a user clicks on a link or a button.
• Panel - creates a panel with some content/menu that appears whenever a user clicks on a link or a button.

Select which type of the layout to use in the layouts widget's content settings.

The algorithm of building a popup notification or panel:

1. Create a custom layout with required content that will be displayed in the popup window or panel. If you want to use simple text/image or shortcode (like grid gallery, mailchimp form, etc.), just omit this step.
2. Add a new Elementor Page Builder section to the page. In the left panel with elementor elements open "ThemeREX Addons Layouts" group, drag and drop the Layouts widget from the panel into your section. Select the desired widget's type (popup/panel) and custom Layout from the dropdown list (Layout field) or enter simple text/shortcode/image from the Media Library in the Content field (if "Layout" option is set to "Use content").
   You may navigate to Edit Layouts > Advanced tab to enclose the elements with paddings or set the background image/color.
3. In the widget's settings under the Content tab, Popup (panel) ID field, assign the ID to your popup/panel, e.g. example_popup.
4. Use the popup/panel ID, preceded by a pound sign (#), as an address for the link or button that should trigger the popup/panel.

Layouts: Login

Displays a login/logout link with an icon.

The text for the checkbox "I agree..." (registration form) is set in Appearance > Customize > General > Text with Privacy Policy link.
In order to add/customize the Privacy Policy link, navigate to Settings (WP Dashboard) > Privacy and specify the page that will be used as a Privacy Policy one.

PLEASE NOTE! In case you are planning to use the registration form without consent checkbox, just leave the "Text with Privacy Policy link" option empty in the Appearance > Customize > General section!

Layouts: Logo

Inserts a logo (any image). In case there is no logo (both in layouts and in the Customizer), the theme displays the website title and description specified in Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity.

Uploading Logo

The algorithm of our actions would be as follows:

1. Select the Layout where you want to place the new logo by going to Layouts > All Layouts.
2. Locate Elementor Layouts: Logo widget (ThemeREX Addons Layouts group) and click on the Edit button.
3. Upload a new logo in the panel > Content tab and save the changes.

IMPORTANT! Logo is available for editing for each particular layout. If no logo is selected in the Layouts: Logo widget, the initial logo from the Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity will be used.

Layouts: Menu

Displays one of available menus. Specify a preferred menu in the Menu field by its name, like on the screenshot below.

The Layout parameter allows selecting the Menu Layout:

• Default - standard menu with links.
• Burger - just a button that opens Mobile menu.
• Modern Burger - just a button that opens Mobile menu (alternative style).

Direction of the menu items: Horizontal or Vertical.

Specify default behavior for a responsive menu in the Content tab:

• Mobile button - choose whether to replace the menu with a menu button when switching to the mobile version.
• Add to the mobile menu - use this menu as a mobile menu only.

Layouts: Single Post Meta

Displays elements from meta data of the current post (categories, post author, post date, post counters, share links, edit link).

Layouts: Search

Adds a search button/input field. There are 3 styles available:

• Normal - a standard search field.
• Expand - displays a search button that expands a search field on click.
• Fullscreen - displays a search button that expands the search field to the entire screen.

Layouts: Title

Displays a title and breadcrumbs of the currently opened page/post.

Layouts: Widgets

Displays one of the available widget sets (sidebars). You can choose the number of widget columns. In case 0 is chosen, the number of columns equals to the number of widgets in the selected widget set.

Elementor Section Settings

Layouts have an extended number of settings for Section, default Elementor element.

Choose which section you want to edit, click on the Edit Section button and go to the panel > Edit Section > Custom Layout.

• Row type - defines a row type. It accepts the following values:
  1. Inherit - a default row with no layout-specific styles applied.
  2. Narrow - the smallest type of row. The Elementor widgets feature a small font size and small icons. The Layouts: Iconed Text widget places text in 1 line (even for two-line option).
  3. Compact - a smaller variation of the normal row type. The Elementor widgets have a standard font size and small icons. The Iconed Text widget puts text in 1 line (even for the two-line option).
  4. Normal - a row of a normal height. The Elementor widgets inserted into this type of row have a standard font size, and medium-sized icons. The Layouts: Iconed Text widget features text divided into 2 lines.
• Delimiter - adds a border to the row's bottom.
• Fix this row when scroll - 'fixes' the row to the top of the page (or to the last 'fixed row'). Useful for creating sticky navigation.
  To avoid "Sticky Menu" behavior select "Don't fix" option.
• Hide this row on unfix - hides the row until scrolling down.
• Hide on the Frontpage - hides the row on the page assigned as the Homepage (Frontpage) in Settings > Reading. In case the Blog Feed page is assigned as the Homepage, the row stays visible.
• Hide on single posts - hides the row on single pages and posts.
• Hide on other pages - hides the row on pages that are not single ones (other than is_singular()).

ThemeREX Addons

As a free addition to this theme, we have included a unique ThemeREX Addons plug-in. Once activated, it allows expanding the options of the theme noticeably. These add-ons allow you to use custom widget sets and custom Elementor widgets, show custom post types, set links to your social profiles as well as some advanced theme-specific settings.

After plug-in's installation, the "ThemeREX Addons" menu item should appear in the "Theme Panel" tab in WordPress dashboard menu panel.

Below is a brief description of all the available settings.

General

Settings of this tab define the general behavior of your theme.

General Settings

• Debug Mode - Enable debug functions and theme profiler output.
  
  IMPORTANT! There is a separate file for each script snippet .js and style related .css data. For better theme performance the system automatically re-compiles/re-merges these files into a single .js/.css related one after every "Save Options" button click in Customizer (Appearance > Customize) and ThemeREX Addons settings (Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons).
  In case the "Debug Mode" is on, the theme does not run the re-compile/re-merge mode, so each and every file loads separately. That is why we do recommend to turn this mode on only if you need to edit/customize the source script and style related files. Please do not edit the following (re-merged) files: trx_addons.css, trx_addons.js, __colors.css, __style.css, __scripts.js.
• Disable new Widgets Block Editor - disable new Widgets Block Editor, if after the update to WordPress 5.8+ you are having trouble with editing widgets or working in Customizer. New Widgets Block Editor is used in WordPress 5.8+ instead of classic widgets panel.
• Move styles to the head - This is a W3C validation setting. It captures page's output and moves all the "style" tags from the body into the head. We suggest leaving it intact.
• Move javascripts to the footer - This setting moves all tags "script" to the footer to increase page loading speed.
• Load javascripts asynchronously - This setting adds attribute "defer" to all tags "script" in the frontend.
• Exclude javascripts from asynchronous loading - Specify the url fragments of the scripts you want to exclude from asynchronous loading (if there are any problems with them).
• Remove parameter "ver=" from URL - This setting removes parameter "ver=" from URLs of the styles and scripts to enable caching these files.
• Views counter via AJAX - This setting allows managing the views counter. We recommend leaving it intact.
• Image dimensions - Which dimensions will be used for the uploaded images: "Original" or "Retina ready" (twice enlarged).
  If "Retina" option is enabled, twice enlarged images will be loaded on devices with retina displays and regular images will be used for non-retina screens. The system automatically creates retina versions for all sets of thumbnails. This will significantly enlarge your disc space. It doesn't work for previously uploaded images. In this case you can install and launch any plug-in, like regenerate thumbnails, after switching this option.
• Quality for cropped images - Specify range of quality (1-100) to save cropped images.
  
  
  PLEASE NOTE If you change the images quality, do not forget to regenerate the thumbnails again.
  
  
• Show page preloader - Select or upload page preloader image for your site.
  
  
  • Page preloader bg color - Specify background color for the page preloader. If empty - no preloader is used.
  • Page preloader image - Select or upload page preloader image. If empty - no preloader is used. This option is available for "Custom" preloader style only.
• Scroll progress bar - Displays scroll progress bar.
• Add "Scroll to Top" - Add "Scroll to Top" button when page is scrolled.
• Animate inner links - This setting adds "smooth scroll" effect to the inner page links.
• Open external links in a new window - If checked, this setting adds parameter target="_blank" to all external links.
• Popup Engine - Choose one of two scripts to display your popup images.

Menu

• Use menu cache - The menu caching option is responsible for increasing the overall theme's performance.
• Collapse menu - Whether you need to group menu items or not, if they don't fit in one line.
• Icon - Select icon of the menu item with collapsed elements.
• Breadcrumbs nestings - Specify the necessary nesting level for breadcrumbs.

Login and Registration

• Login via AJAX - Define whether to use AJAX Login or direct link on the WP Login Page.
• Login via social profiles - Add the necessary code snippet/shortcode from the Social Login Plugin.
• Notify about new registration - Define the person who receives a registration notification message.

API

Insert a generated Google API key (as well as analytics, remarketing-related information and marker & cluster icons) to make your Google map function properly. Follow this link for more information on how to properly obtain an API key. Specify Facebook App ID.

Google Analytics code - Specify Google Analytics code or/and any other HTML/JS code to be inserted before the closing tag </head> on each page of this site.

Google Remarketing code - Specify Google Remarketing code or/and any other HTML/JS code to be inserted before the closing tag </body> on each page of this site.

PLEASE NOTE! Check this video tutorial for more information on how to setup Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager and add them to your website.

Socials

Here you can specify all the necessary links (URLs) to your social profiles. Just paste the permanent URL addresses into the needed fields and click "Save."
"Allow extended emotions" option allows you to enable extended emotions set. It gives the users an opportunity to mark single posts with one nontypical emotion. Just specify the emotion names, upload the necessary icons and click on "Save" button.

The icons are used from standard Fontello icons set. You can expand the list of available icons by adding new ones from the fontello website. In order to add new icons proceed to wp-content/themes/your-theme/css/font-icons/config.json. Watch this video guide for more information.

Shortcodes

Here you can define whether you want to use the Anchor shortcode and specify hover effects for form fields or not.

Theme Specific

Settings of this section override the default theme's grid classes, and recreate layouts. We recommend leaving these settings intact.

Create Layouts setting is responsible for recreating the set of predefined layouts. It might become useful in case there are no layouts available after theme installation.

Plug-ins

This section contains a brief description, as well as references, to some plug-ins available with this theme.

Such images can be specified in Slider Settings. Just open a particular slider, navigate to "Module General Options" tab (gear icon) and set the required parameters in the Content section.

Add Slider Revolution via Elementor Widget

Insert either the Revolution Slider widget (WordPress group) or Slider widget (ThemeREX Addons Elements group) to the page and choose slider engine - Slider Revoluion. You can also use a shortcode, like [rev_slider alias="main-slider"][/rev_slider].

Add Slider Revolution via Widgets area

You can also add Slider Revolution via widgets and place the slider not only in the header of the page (might vary, depending on default sidebars locations available for a particular theme).

Please note! In case you do not have a slider set up (but the Revolution Slider plug-in is already installed), you need to create it first and fill with slides by navigating to Slider Revolution tab in the WP Dashboard side menu.

Theme Translation

We recommend using Poedit software for translation-related purposes.

To translate the theme to your language, please follow these steps:

1. Download and install Poedit software.
2. Navigate to the theme/.../languages/ folder and locate .pot file. Copy it to your desktop for editing.
3. Double click on the .pot file. In the Poedit window click on the "Create New Translation" button, choose the necessary language of the translation from the dropdown list and click "OK."
4. Now select the constant text string you need to translate from the "Source text - English" field and type in the necessary translation into the "Translation" field.
   You can translate as much as you want, just go through the file and click on each string in "Poedit" and add your translation.
5. Next, you have to save the changes to your .po file using the naming convention based on the language code (e.g. pt for Portuguese) followed by the country code (for instance _BR for Brazil). To do that click on the "sheet" icon (you can also use hotkeys CMD + Shift + S in OS X or Win+S in Windows) and type in the name according to the screenshot below.
   The first lower-case letters define the language, whereas the second upper-case letter defines the country. In most cases, the language and country are the same, like “de_DE” for Germany.
   However, there is a difference for languages like English or Portuguese, which are spoken in several countries natively. In this case, the difference is in the first and second letter pairs; for the UK, the code would be en_GB, whereas the en_US stands for the USA. If you are not familiar with the codes for your native language and country, then visit the GNU website. See Language Codes and Country Codes for the lists of codes.
   
   PLEASE NOTE! If you use the wrong naming convention WordPress can not process your translation.
6. When saving your .po file, Poedit automatically creates a new .mo file, with the same naming convention. According to the example above, the file would be called pt_BR.mo.
7. Upload the .po and .mo files you just created to the .../languages folder. Make sure these files are in the same directory as the default.pot one.
8. Our theme is using ThemeREX Addons plug-in, so some translation should be done in language files of this plug-in in the .../wp-content/plugins/trx_addons/languages directory. There is also a trx_addons.pot file in this directory.
   Generate the .po and .mo files according to your language. See the file names on the example below:
   trx_addons-pt_BR.po, trx_addons-pt_BR.mo.
   Make sure that the language of your files is the same as in your WordPress admin panel > Settings > General Settings section.
