Installation Information

Theme Requirements

To use this theme you must be running WordPress 3.9 or higher, PHP5 or higher, and mysql 5 or higher. If you use hosting with limited resources (for example GoDaddy and other lowcost shared hosting providers), you may experience issues with one-click dummy data installation feature.

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

max_execution_time 600

memory_limit (up to) 256M or 512M for creating custom color schemes with LESS CSS compiler.

post_max_size 32M

upload_max_filesize 32M

If you are running unmanaged dedicated server or VPS, you should check your php.ini file. Alternatively, you can edit .htaccess file in the root of your website and add the following values:

                            php_value max_execution_time 600
                            php_value memory_limit (up to) 256M
                            php_value post_max_size 32M
                            php_value upload_max_filesize 32M

Setting these values will ensure you will not get error messages during the installation. To safeguard your website, please use secure passwords and the latest version of WordPress and plugins.

IMPORTANT! To avoid any errors that might come up during the installation we recommend to have memory limit set up to 512M.

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:

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

To install "Contactlenses" theme you need to have a working version of WordPress pre-installed. For more information in regards to installing the WordPress platform, please see the WordPress Codex article - 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 use WordPress the latest stable version of WordPress. This will help to ensure that you are able to utilize all of the latest features of WordPress.

There are 2 ways to install the theme:

via FTP:
1. Log into your web server with FTP client software
2. Unzip the Contactlenses.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /Contactlenses theme folder
3. Upload the extracted /Contactlenses 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. Navigate 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 "Contactlenses.zip" and click Install Now button.
4. After successfull installation click on Activate or proceed 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.
  
  All these plugins are included into the theme's archive or can be installed (optionally) from the WordPress.org repository on your own.
  The theme may function without any of these plugins. But if you want your website look precisely as on demo page, you should install all the recommended plugins and import demo content. This is a good idea if you are building your website from scratch.
  However, if you have an existing website, you should be very careful with plugin installation and importing dummy data - this might affect your site content and structure. Please read the Demo Content article for more information.
6. Once it's done a new menu item Theme Options will appear.

Plugins Installation

In order to make the theme look exactly as at demo page you need to install the 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 a few minutes, please be patient and do not refresh the page.

Theme includes the following plugins:

Booked
Essential Grid
Slider Revolution
Utilities (The name of the plugin usually might match the theme's name, for example Contactlenses Utilities)
Visual Composer Extensions All In One
WooCommerce
WPBakery Visual Composer

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

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.

Before installing demo data make 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 that you install demo data only on blank WordPress install.

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

Log in to your site as an administrator.
If you see a message prompting to install the plugins - click on "Begin installing plugins" and install it on the corresponding page.
IMPORTANT: The rest of recommended plugins (for example, Revolution Slider, Visual Composer, and others) are not mandatory for installation of demo content but recommended.
Go to Appearance > Install Dummy Data:
On the page that showed up, please set the required parameters and click on "Start Import" button.
IMPORTANT: Please wait while demo data is being copied from our server to your site. It may take a while and depends on significantly upon Internet connection speed between your website and our server. Please wait patiently and do not refresh/leave the page.
Once the data is successfully imported, "Congratulations" message displays.

In 99.9% it works fine, but if something went wrong and data was not imported, please repeat the procedure, by clicking the "Continue Import" button. The system finds the last item imported successfully and continues the import.

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

A guide to installing our theme on a low-cost shared hosting.

Shared hosting is often the first port of call for those new to the hosting game. With offers as low as $4.99 per month, it’s a tempting option if you’re on a strict budget.
As with anything else in life, however, you get what you pay for. By its nature, shared hosting means that your site will be sharing server resources with hundreds – if not thousands – of other sites. Furthermore, you will be severely limited in terms of the level of server optimization possible.

Nevertheless, if you decided to use shared hosting or any other hosting plan with limited resources for your website, we recommend you to try to install our theme in the following way:

Navigate to Appearance > Install Required Plugins menu option and install and activate Utilities and Visual Composer plugins only.
Navigate to Appearance > Install Dummy Data menu option, install the basic demo contents (posts, attachments, widgets and theme options).
Navigate back to your website (frontend) and reload/refresh the page – you should see a full-fledged demo website. However, it will have no slider, and none of the pages dedicated to the demonstration of the supported plugins’ capabilities will work. On this stage, memory consumption will not exceed limitations of the strictest hosting plans (within 64Mb).
In case you do not need the rest of the plugins, you do not have to install them, and its demo contents. Otherwise, navigate to the Appearance > Install Required Plugins menu option and install and activate all of the required plugins.
Navigate to the Appearance - Install Dummy Data and uncheck the following options (since you have already installed the data and demo contents for the required plugins):
- Import posts
- Import Theme mods
- Import Theme Options
- Import Templates Options
- Import Widgets

Important! Please be aware that some plugins might consume a large amount of memory (RAM) while they are enabled and in use!
Besides that, by installing such massive add-ons as WooCommerce, Revolution Slider, BBPress, BuddyPress and others, you are adding at least up to 20-40Мb (per each) to the memory (RAM) consumed by your website.
For instance, after installing and activating the Revolution Slider, your website’s memory (RAM) consumption might increase up to 70-80Mb, as for BBPress and BuddyPress - it might consume about 100-110Mb of RAM. Add WooCommerce and your website's RAM consumption might not fit even in 128Мb! So you will have to increase the available memory to 192М (better up to 256Mb) to make all these plugins work properly.

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 regularly and especially before making some serious updates. We recommend using free backup plugins for WordPress like WPOnlineBackup

Update Option 1. Update using WordPress uploader

Log into your Themeforest account and navigate to your downloads tab. Find the theme and download “Installable WordPress file”.
Log into your wordPress website and go to Appearance -> Themes
Activate a different theme. Delete the previous version of Contactlenses and re-upload the new Wordpress Installable files that you have downloaded from Themeforest in the 1st step.
Once it uploads, choose to activate the theme.
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

Log into your Themeforest account and get the last version of the theme as described above.
Connect to your server using desktop client software(we recommend CyberDuck and Filezilla)
Change directory to /wp-content/themes
Remove existing folder with old theme files
Unpack theme installable files downloaded from themeforest and upload to themes folder
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 that you 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 the child theme. It’s located in the "Contactlenses-child.zip" archive. You can install the child theme the same way as you install the main theme (see above in the section "Installation")

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

Almost all files from the main theme can be replaced in the 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 of the theme’s functions or to add new ones, you need to create file 'functions.php' in the folder "Contactlenses-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 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 theme, 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.

Quick start

After the theme's 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 note, these parameters are important for search engines. For advanced SEO management we recommend installing 3rd party plugins like All In One SEO pack

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 the 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 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 other 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 it works

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

As we have 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 the edit button and at the bottom of the page change appearance settings according to your needs:

From now on all the posts in this category and its sub-categories 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 the "edit" button and set custom parameters. You can find "Post options" at the bottom of the post edit page. These parameters will override both category settings and global settings defined in Theme Options panel.

Homepage

Now, let's proceed with creating our home page. You can create as many options of the main page, as you want.

We will show you how to configure one of our Homepages, which is "Home 1" (just the same one as on our demo).

Home 1

The picture below demonstrates the page style we are aiming at:

The algorithm of our actions would be as follows:

Select Pages > Add New and create a new page.
Specify a name for it (e.g. Home 1).
Navigate to Customization > Body section and set the options according to the screenshot below.

Navigate to Customization > Header section and disable the following options.

Now let's add a slider. To do this navigate to the Customization > Slider tab and enable "Show Slider" option. Then select the necessary "Slider Engine" and the slider itself in the "Revolution Slider: Select slider" field.
Please be aware that to enable the one particular slider on the necessary page (or set of pages) you need to disable the slider in GLobal Theme Options first and only then enable it for each and every page (or set of pages) in its "Post Options" settings.

Now the page is ready for further customization with Visual Composer. Before you start, please check these VC related tutorials. They will give you a basic understanding of how to build a page properly.

Official Visual Composer FAQ page.

Getting Started With Visual Composer Guide.

Visual Composer: A Guide To Drag & Drop Page Building

How to Add Row and Column with Visual Composer.

How to Create Empty Space Between Elements with Custom Height.

The whole page is build with the following elements: Rows, Block containers, Content blocks, Gaps, Columns and Blogger shortcode. On the below screenshots you can see which backend section corresponds to a frontend section.

Here is how it looks on the frontend:

And here is how it looks in the VC's backend editor:

Main Slider

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

Built-in Theme Slider

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

Revolution Slider

Our theme is fully compatible with an extremely powerful Revolution Slider plugin.

Once the dummy content is installed Revolution Slider item will show up in the theme's menu (otherwise you'd need to install this plugin manually and create/add the necessary slides on your own).
To set it up and to display on all the existing pages on your website (otherwise you would need to disable this option in Global settings and Enable it on the specific page(s) you want the slider to appear on), please proceed to the Appearance > Theme Options > Global Options > Customization > Slider section and enable Show Slider option. Choose the Layer Slider (Revolution) in the Slider Engine field and specify name of the slider in the Revolution Slider: Select slider field as it is shown on the screenshot below.

Here's how your Homepage 1 slider might look like.

Please check the following links for more information regarding the Revolution Slider functionality:

The theme supports various menu styles and locations. You can set it in Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations section. See the location of menu areas on the screenshot below:

You can assign a separate, pre-created menu to any of the locations. Also, you can enable/disable displaying of each section independently using Theme Options and settings of pages, posts, and categories. Check the Customization > Header > Main menu style and position/User's menu area components sections.

Inner page navigation

Inner page navigation is extremely popular today since it allows your website visitors to get to the needed page section without constant scrolling down long pages. Our themes provide powerful tools helping you to create awesome landing pages in the blink of an eye.

To create a page with internal page links, please follow these simple steps:

Go to Pages > Add New.
Enable side "Table of content" menu: Customization > Header > Table of Contents > TOC position >Fixed/Float.

Now we are ready to add menu items.
Lets add some content to the page. In order to obtain a menu item in page navigation each content block must be separeted with anchor shortcode. Each anchor shortcodes adds a new navigation item to the Table of Contents Menu (see below) and this way organizes page navigation. See example below:

[trx_audio url="http://Contactlenses.dv.ancorathemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/sample-melody.mp3" title="Insert Audio Title Here" author="Lily Hunter"] [trx_anchor icon="icon-cog" title="M3 E30" separator="no" id="toc_columns"] [trx_columns][trx_column_item][trx_title type="6"]1/2[/trx_title][vc_column_text]Nullam ac massa neque.

Curabitur biben dum, sem at porta vulputate, metus elit.[/vc_column_text][/trx_column_item][/trx_columns] This shortcode creates a menu item. This is a simple and effective way to create navigation menu on the pages, it will look like this:

Navigate to the "Theme options" and disable top menu: Customization > Header > Top Panel Position > Hide.

This is how you can create an awesome landing page or a single page website in a few clicks. Once again, the core tool to create page navigation and add page anchors is [trx_anchor] shortcode. The theme scans page content, finds trx_anchor shortcodes and builds the menu. To get more information regarding this shortcode please follow this link.

Blog

Now that you have finished working on the appearance of the homepage of your website, it is time to start a blog.

Please note 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 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 stream page (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:

Select the menu item Settings - Readings
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 Add New.
Put your Title as usual.
Put Content if needed.
Select one or more categories to the Categories.
Select desired Post Format.
1. Standard - 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 necessary to upload an image and to set it as featured. 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 behaviour 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 settings for each post that are specified in the category to which the post belongs. If the settings are not specified in the 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 Appearance > Theme Options - Blog will be used.
Publish this post.

Team

Team is a custom post type used to create team member elements and used for announcements. You can use team members and teams in trx_team shortcode or add new members manually. To read more about trx_team shortcode please follow this link

As you can see above each new team member has extra parameters which are custom link to member profile(can be external URL), social profiles, position etc.

Reviews

We have a special rating system that can be easily integrated into any post or category. See how it works:

In Appearance > 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.
Of course, we understand that to rate different areas (music, movies, technology, etc.) you need a completely different rating criteria. Therefore, you can override the list of criteria in each category. To do this, open Posts - Categories, select a category you want to modify, click Edit and at the bottom of the page find "Custom settings for this category" in 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.
Now, in any post you can assess the subject of the article in the section Post Options in the tab Reviews:
Do not forget to paste this shortcode to the post where you want to display the reviews block.

[trx_reviews align="center" top="inherit" bottom="inherit" left="inherit" right="inherit"]

As a result you will see similar reviews panel on post page.

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 Appearance > 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!

Custom page

Now we can prepare the other pages of our blog. This is not mandatory, but if you want to customize styles and behavior of, for example, 404 Page, Blogstream pages, Search results or any other one available in the "Template's" dropdown menu list, you need to create a separate page/s.
Please note, that you can also use the "Global Options" settings (just choose the necessary set of pages from the dropdown menu list) to customize the behavior of some specific set of pages at once. So you do not have to modify each separate page every time.

Page 404

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

Navigate to Appearance > Theme options > Global Options, in the dropdown menu choose "Error 404" option.

Now you can customize the behavior of your 404 page via available Customization options.

Once you done click on the "Save" button in the upper right corner of the top Theme Options bar.

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

Please Note! You can not always preview 404 page using WordPress View page or Preview changes button. You should type an incorrect site URL to see the "404" page.

Theme Options

Now, let's talk about the theme's settings: Appearance > Theme Options. Here you will get the full control over display and functionality of the web-site.

Some groups of the settings have been described above, in the sections dedicated to the Home Page and Blog.

Here we will consider the rest of the settings.

IMPORTANT:

Please be aware that our theme has a unique inheritance hierarchy. It means that settings of each particular post\page\category can override global theme settings.
The settings of Appearance > Theme Options > Global Options > Customization section affect behavior of the entire website, all of it. In other words, if you want all of your posts, pages and categories to look exactly the same, all you need to do is go through those Global options:

There's no need to dive in the rest of the options. See the screenshot below:

But if you decide to give it a shot, then you will be having almost endless capabilities for customization. You can apply a different set of settings to each sub-group of the theme's options. Their settings will override the global options settings.

There's one more important thing we'd like to mention. In the Theme Options you can find Fonts & Colors section. It allows you to create custom schemes and apply custom fonts.

Here you can create your own color schemes. It is based on the LESS framework. More information about it can be found here. Please be aware that creating color schemes requires a lot of server resources and at least 256MB of RAM (optimal - 512MB). So we recommend to consider a decent hosting plan.

Anyway you can always use the predefined color scheme(s) we have already created.

Custom fonts can be set on the Fonts tab.

Please Note! In case fonts or color styles/schemes (accent styles), for some reason (for example after the theme update) fall back to their default settings/values, then you need to regenerate the styles and colors again. Click on "Reset" button first to start the process. Once it's done click on "Save" button to save the changes.

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.

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.

Here is an example of how the Footer sidebar might look like:

"INFORMATION" block code:


                            <div class="links"><a href="/homepage-1/">Home</a><a href="/about-style-1/">Features</a><a href="/shop/">Contact Lenses</a><a href="/classic/">Blog</a><a href="/contacts/">Contact Us</a><a href="/services-page/">Services</a><a href="/special-deals/">Special Deals</a></div>

"Social" block code:


                            You may find more information about us on our social pages.
                            [vc_row][vc_column][trx_socials shape="round" css="    margin-top: -0.7rem;" size="tiny" socials="gplus=#|facebook=#|twitter=#"][/trx_socials][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Shortcodes

Shortcodes is a handy feature in WordPress that allows you to do some pretty incredible things by just inserting a shortcode into a page or post. Using Shortcodes is very straight-forward, just insert one where you want the relevant content to show up.

The theme comes with a number of shortcodes allowing you to add the info in a simple way. Moreover, you can use WPBakery Visual Composer to add new elements to the page. More information on how to use Visual Composer properly can be found here:

IMPORTANT: If you are using Classic mode to add shortcodes, please make sure to always start new shortcodes from new lines. Most of the time you won't 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, 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. Allows to address this element form javascript or CSS.
class - class name for element. Allows to set up additional decorations for the element in CSS stylesheets.
top, bottom, left, right - the top, bottom, left and right margin of the block. You can select the needed value in the dropdown: no margin, tiny, small, medium, large, huge,

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".

Below is a list of the shortcodes included into the theme.

trx_anchor

Creates anchor for the "one page" navigation. If the page contains one or more anchor is automatically created table of contents (TOC), that may be displayed on the right edge of the window. The position of the TOC may be fixed or floating.

Parameters:

title - (string). Contains short title displayed in the TOC (under the icon).

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 a 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 the 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 you create and polish your shop

Documentation - official plugin documentation.
Free and Premium extensions - powerful toolbox bringing more features to your shop
iOS app for Woocommerce - this application gives you full control over your shop.
Candy Cart - the simplest way to convert your WooCommerce Store to native iOS App.

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.).

Mass e-mail distribution and collection of subscription lists

There is a great tool helping you keep in touch with your customers and site visitors. It's a small addon that collects emails and send newsletters. We recommend to use MailChimp or Sendgrid.

WARNING: Before using mass email tool please check if your web hosting provider allows to send mass email. Most of shared web servers strictly prohibit sending mass emails and can block your account.

WARNING: If you have more than 1000 subscribers, we highly recommend using professional mass email services to ensure high deliverability, high open/click rate. Always make sure you are using double opt-in email list, getting too many abuse reports may affect your site SEO.

ADVICE: To keep your list healthy and up to date we recommend using Email validation service, this is a great tool to filter junk emails if you purchased emails list elsewhere!

PO Composer and MO Generator

Translating WordPress theme may be a serious issue. To be more specific, the localization itself does not cause any problems, but further theme updates may bring some troubles: we get a new .po-file with updated structure. The changes may affect different parts of the file, which requires another translation!

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 sub-folder "languages of the theme folder. You need translation into your native 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 an application for editing .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 another update of your theme has been released! You download it and... here comes the most interesting part :( The translation file has changed! Now It has new lines, and some of the old ones changed significantly. How to find out what exactly was changed? Obviously, you don't want to translate it all over again...

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

For many customers these problems become one of the reasons why they prefer not to update their themes. Of course, another good reason is the fact that users have already made a lot of changes to the theme (logo, style tables etc).

By the way, to make an 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.
You can read more about child theme in previous chapter or at official WordPress website.

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 as easy as 1-2-3.
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" navigate to "Appearance -> Theme Options" and select "Yes" in the field "Enable po-composer in admin panel" . You will get a new menu item "Appearance" - "PO Composer".

How PO Composer works

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

PO Composer page

PO composer consists of two major panels. On the left hand you choose a .po file to edit(the file may be located in the parent or child theme , this may be any downloadable file or even the content of your 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 anything in the right section.

Let's take a look at options available:

Upload .po-file - This option allows to select any .po-file from your computer and upload it for editing.
Edit .po-text - This option allows text of any .po-file into the text field and edit it.
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.
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:

If you want to edit one of the language files in the folder 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.

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

You can make changes directly to this file.
Attention! Editing this file requires high level of expertise. You should know exactly what you are doing and understand that removing any special character will break file structure. Therefore, we recommend using simplified and user friendly editor.
To stay on the safe side switch to the tab "Strings editor"and you will see the list of strings for translation. Below the list there is a text field for editing 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. See example below:

When you are through with the editing, simply switch back to the tab "Plain text" and click "Update" to generate .mo-file and update the file on the server (please make sure the file and file containing folder have write permissions).

After files update you will get download links allowing to download newly generated .PO and .MO files. Please make sure you have set write permissions to 'language' folder and it's sub-folders. In this case all files in sub-folders will be updates automatically . Otherwise you will have to update translation files manually. To find out more about file permissions on your server please contact your web hosting service company.
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.

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

All further steps are completely similar to those we have described in the previous example.
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:

All further steps are completely similar to those we have described in the previous examples (see above).
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 sub-folder "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 click the button "Merge":

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

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

Forget the agony with the translation update ;)!
