Theme Installation

Unpacking the theme

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

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

To install "MelanieHanson" theme, you must have WordPress installed. For information regarding WordPress platform installation, please check the WordPress Codex or check this great video tutorial.

Update WordPress: To ensure a positive user experience, we highly recommend updating your WordPress to the latest stable version. This will help utilizing all of the latest features of WordPress.

If you have questions regarding the theme installation, we recommend reading the detailed instruction below.

You can install the theme in two ways:

• via FTP:
  
  
  1. Log into your web server with FTP client software.
  
  
  2. Unzip the melanie-hanson.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /melanie-hanson theme folder.
  
  
  3. Upload the extracted melanie-hanson theme folder into /wp-content/themes folder.
  
  
  4. Navigate to the Appearance > Themes tab and activate the theme.


• 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 "melanie-hanson.zip" 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. Once the theme is activated, you will be prompted to install the required ThemeREX Addons and the other recommended plugins, if any. It might be (but not always should) Instagram Feed or MailChimp for WP (in case they are included), for example.
     
     
     All these plugins are included into the theme archive, or can be installed from the WordPress.org repository.
     The theme can function without the recommended plugins. But if you want your website look precisely as the demo page, you have to install all recommended plugins and import demo content. This is a good idea if you are building your website from scratch.
     However, if you have an existing website, you should be very careful with plugins installation and importing demo data: this may affect an entire website's content, it's look, behavior and structure. Please refer to the Demo Content section for more details.
  
  
  6. As a final step - the new menu item Appearance > ThemeREx Addons should appear in the WP Dashboard menu bar.
  
  
  7. IMPORTANT! 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.

Plugins Installation

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

Alternatively, you can use Appearance > Install Plugins menu that redirects to the plugins installation page. Check all the 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.

IMPORTANT! Please be aware that there is only one required (mandatory) plugin for proper theme functioning which is "ThemeREX Addons." The rest of the plugins are recommended for installation, but not required.
In case you are running a shared hosting (e.g. GoDaddy) with limited resources, we do recommend to enable only the essential plugins (the ones you need) and disable the rest if any. Otherwise, it may significantly increase memory (RAM) consumption, which might lead to unwanted issues.

Available plugins:

• Calculated Fields Form


• Contact Form 7


• Cooked – Recipe Plugin


• Elegro Crypto Payment


• Essential Grid


• MailChimp for WordPress


• Slider Revolution


• Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed (formerly Instagram Feed)


• The Events Calendar


• ThemeREX Addons (required)


• ThemeREX Updater


• All In One Addons for WPBakery Page Builder


• WooCommerce


• WPBakery Page Builder (required)

SUCCESS! The "Success" message appears after plugins successful installation.

PLEASE NOTE! Our theme is compatible with Cookie Information plugin (formerly WP GDPR Compliance), though it is not included into the theme's package.

Gutenberg Compatibility

Our theme is compatible with Gutenberg page builder. You can create new pages using this editor.

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

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

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 just skip this chapter.

IMPORTANT! If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we recommend to install a child theme and apply changes there. To learn more about that, please visit WordPress Codex.

In the theme's package you can find all the necessary files for the child theme. It is located in the "melanie-hanson-child.zip" archive. The installation of a child theme is similar to the main theme.

A few recommendations on how to use a Child Theme:

• Almost all files from the main theme can be replaced in a child theme. It doesn’t concern only .php-files with templates and basic logic, but also both .js, .css files from respective folders and files with images, icons etc.
• If you want to change some theme-related functions or add new ones, copy/add all the required functions into functions.php file in the melanie-hanson-child folder. If our theme contains functions with such names, they will be replaced with yours, if not – your functions will complete our theme logics.
  
  PLEASE NOTE If you want to replace some functions from other files (except functions.php), e.g. from _wp_utils.php or _utils.php, we do not recommend you to copy respective files into the child theme, but you should create the respective functions in functions.php in the child theme. This should be done, so that when updating the theme, new functions from these files are available for use.
  As for other files - put out the 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.

Demo Content

Our themes include a simple One click demo data import tool. It allows getting a precise copy of our demo website in just 1 click.
Nevertheless, it allows choosing whether to install the "whole demo-site content" or just certain pages, forms, and sliders.

Before installing demo data, please make sure you have installed all the required plugins, check the Plugins installation section for more information.

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

1. Log in to your site as an administrator.


2. OPTIONAL! In case you receive a notification message prompting to install required ThemeREX Addons plugin, click on "Begin installing plugins" and install it on the corresponding page.
   IMPORTANT! The rest of recommended plugins are not mandatory for installation of demo content but highly recommended.


3. Navigate to Appearance > Install Demo Data:

4. On the page that showed up set the required parameters.

   IMPORTANT! When installing "Whole demo-site content", ALL THE EXISTING CONTENTS of your website will be deleted and replaced with the new data! We do recommend to install "Whole demo-site content" on fresh WordPress.


5. Click on "Start import" button.
   
   PLEASE NOTE It may take a while for demo data to be copied from our server to your site. It depends significantly on the Internet connection speed between your website and our server. Please wait patiently and do not refresh/leave the page.


6. SUCCESS! The "Success" message appears after demo data successful installation. Treat the screenshot below as an example. Included plugins and some of the options may vary.
   
   IMPORTANT! In case "Demo Data" installation 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/melanie-hanson 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 provider to make sure that your server configuration meets the Theme Requirements. Otherwise, please refer your request to our support department.

Theme Update

This step is required if you received the notification that a new version of the theme is available. You can see this information in Changelog section at the bottom of the item's details page.

IMPORTANT! Before you go ahead with the update make sure you backup your old theme's folder. Download it to your computer locally.

It is a good practice to backup both your files and database regularly and especially before making some serious updates.

Update Option 1. Update using the ThemeREX Updater plugin
(for theme version 1.3.1 and above only!)

1. Please make sure the ThemeREX Updater plugin is installed and activated. This plugin is provided with the theme.


2. Navigate to Appearance > ThemeREX Updater and enter your purchase code to get the latest versions of bundled plug-ins and theme updates through the WordPress admin panel. To get the code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details.

3. We recommend you to check the "Create backups" option to allow the system create backups for plugins versions and the theme automatically.


4. Proceed to WP Dashboard > Updates and check if any updates are available.

5. Choose the options for an update (plugin, theme, etc.) and click on Update button.


6. You can restore the backups created by the system in WP Dashboard > Updates or in Appearance > ThemeREX Updater (if the "Create backups" option was checked before the update).

Update Option 2. Update using WordPress uploader

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



2. Log into your WordPress website and go to Appearance > Themes.

4. Once it is uploaded, activate the theme.


5. Update (if necessary!) the included plugins, if you see a notification message prompting about a newer version.
   
   
   • Navigate to WP Dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins.
   
   
   • Update ThemeREX Addons plug-in. You can click on "Update" button (if available in a particular theme) or deactivate and delete this plugin. Then follow the prompt to install it again. This will load a new plugin version on the site.
   
   
   • Deactivate and delete the rest plugin(s) of old version.
   
   
   • Go to Appearance > Install Plugins and install the plugin(s) like it was described in the Plugins Installation section of this documentation.
   
   

Update Option 3. Update using FTP client

1. Log into your ThemeForest account and get the last version of the theme as described above.


2. Connect to your server using desktop client software (we recommend CyberDuck and Filezilla).

4. Remove existing folder with old theme files.


5. Unpack theme installable files downloaded from ThemeForest and upload to the theme folder.


6. Update (if necessary!) the included plugins as it was described above, if you see a notification message prompting about a newer version.

Quick Start

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

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

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

Theme Customizer

Now let's navigate to Appearance > Customize in the WP dashboard side menu - the feature which makes theme customization extremely user-friendly and straight-forward, allowing the Administrator to manage the feel and look of the blog website easily from one place.

IMPORTANT! Please be aware that our theme provides a special inheritance hierarchy system for "Theme Options" settings. It means that individual settings of each page may override global settings made with Customizer Panel.

We have integrated a lot of additional options to the default WordPress "Customize" menu, which allows you to flexibly control the appearance and behavior of the whole website as well as individual types of posts, pages and categories.

Moreover, you can see the changes of the front-end right after the alterations - when the needed parameter is selected, without switching from admin to front-end each time. It saves much of your time and lets you customize your website just in several clicks. When you are done with the changes, you should click on "Save and Publish" button at the top of the Customizer's side menu.
There are quite a lot of parameters here, but luckily the majority of them have default values that suit most of users needs. Let's take a closer look at them:

2. Reorder the position of widgets using 3 icons:


• Move - allows you to move the widget to another sidebar.


• Down - the widget will be moved down.


• Up - the widget will be moved upwards.

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

Please note! Our theme supports both Classic Widgets Editor and New Block Widgets Editor (WordPress 5.8+). You can easily switch between the editors using the "Disable new Widgets Block Editor" option in Appearance (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > General section.

Moreover, our theme provides a few Custom Widget sets that are available in Appearance > Widgets section (for New Block Widgets Editor - under "Widgets" group) as well as a few more additional areas (you can add on your own) that allow displaying the necessary widgets almost anywhere on the page. Check the screenshots below for more information.

Here you can select whether to stick with Simple (you will be able to change only accented colors, links and buttons colors) or the Advanced option (you will be able to get the full control over the appearance of your site) of color scheme customization settings.

Color Scheme

Select one of a few predefined color schemes:

Links

This option allows you to set the necessary color for your links and accented areas.

Links Hover

Here you can set the necessary hover color for your links and accented areas.

PLEASE NOTE In case the capabilities of "Simple" color scheme are not enough you can go with the "Advanced" one and completely change the feel and look of your entire website.

Pages

This section covers the information about Pages in your website: included page templates, how to edit existing pages and add new ones.

Page templates

To create a new page navigate to "Pages" dashboard menu item in your WordPress admin panel and click on Add new button.

Choose either "Blog Archive" (blog page) or "Default Template" (regular page) option in the Page Attributes or Summary > Template sidebar, depending on the page builder you are using. Additionally, you can manipulate with "Theme Options" settings to customize an overall look and behavior of your page.

Homepage

Now, let's proceed with building a homepage. You can create as many options of the main page, as you want.

Below is the "Homepage 1" configuration example, the same one as on our demo website.

Homepage 1

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

The algorithm of our actions would be as follows:

1. Select Pages > Add New and create a new page.


2. Specify a name for it (e.g. Home 1).

Now the page is ready for further customization with WPBakery Page Builder. Before you start, please check these WPBakery Page Builder-related tutorials. They give you a basic understanding of how to build a page properly.

1. Official WPBakery Page Builder FAQ page.


2. Getting Started With WPBakery Page Builder Guide.


3. WPBakery Page Builder: A Guide To Drag & Drop Page Building.


4. How to Add Row and Column with WPBakery Page Builder.


5. How to Add Row or Column Background with WPBakery Page Builder.


6. How to Create Empty Space Between Elements with Custom Height.

Usually, the page consists of Sections, Rows, Block containers, Content Blocks, Columns and some other elements. On the screenshots below you can see which backend section corresponds to a front-end section.

Below are screenshots of "Homepage 1" front-end and back-end divided into sections, its source code, and the "Theme Options" settings.

If you want to insert your Instagram Feed, we recommend using "Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed" plug-in. You can connect your Instagram account in the WP Dashboard > Instagram Feed > All Feeds > Add New. Please click here for more information.

The background color/image for the page blocks can be customized in the Row Settings > Design Options tab in the WPBakery backend editor. Here you can also set the custom paddings/margins if needed.

Theme Options settings (Homepage 1):

Once you finished with building your page, you would need to assign it as Homepage. To do this:

1. Navigate to Settings > Reading menu item in the WordPress dashboard menu.
   
2. In the "Homepage displays" section select "A static page (select below)" option and choose the necessary page from the drop-down list in the "Homepage".


3. Click on "Save" button to save the changes.

Below are a few other variations of the same Homepage we have described above. Feel free to create your own ones.

Theme Options settings (Homepage 3):

Menus

The theme supports several menus: Main menu (located in the header part of the website right under the logo image), Footer menu (located right at the bottom of the website) and Header menu (located at the very top of the website). All the menus are managed in Appearance > Menus > Edit or via "Customizer" settings in the "Menus" section.

First you should select the menu to edit to see its menu structure. Then you will be able to edit/add new items to the navigation.

In Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations the menu is assigned to its position on the website.

Slider

By default our theme supports a simple Swiper posts slider. Built-in theme's slider allows you to display Featured images from the posts of any category. You can add a slider to the page using slider shortcode. The settings of this shortcode allow you to select a category, and specify the number of the posts to be displayed. Check the Slider Shortcode section for more information.

Nevertheless, our theme is fully compatible with an extremely powerful and beautiful Revolution Slider plugin. It allows you to create an unlimited number of sliders and set anywhere you want on the page within the necessary widget.

Below are the back-end and front-end screenshots of the Revolution Slider (All the Homepages have the same sliders settings, the only difference is slide image):

To have a better understanding of this plugin's functionality we highly recommend checking the following links:

• Slider usage Example and how-tos
• Support center + FAQs and Documentation

The slider can be added through the "Widgets" section as well as through the WPBakery Page Builder. Using Widgets allows you to place the slider not only in the header of the page (might vary, and depends on how many default sidebars locations are available for each particular theme), where it usually supposed to be.

Below is a short guide on how to configure a Revolution Slider by adding it to one of the widget sets.
Please note that in case you do not have a slider set up (but the Revolution Slider plugin 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.

1. Navigate to the Appearance > Widgets menu item in the WP dashboard side menu.


2. Locate the Revolution slider widget and drag and drop it to any of the available widget sets. Once it's done specify the necessary parameters and click on "Save" button.
   Check an example below.

3. Navigate to the page you want your slider to appear on and enable the necessary widget area. For example, let's activate Slider in the "Header Widgets" section (Theme Options > Header tab).

4. Once it's finished click "Update" and "Preview Changes" buttons to see how it will look on the front-end.

Now the slider is right where you need it.

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 custom shortcodes allowing you to add the info in a simple way. Moreover, you can use WPBakery Page Builder to add new elements to the page. Find the theme-related custom shortcodes on the ThemeREX tab in the WPBakery Page Builder's Back-end Editor.

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

Action

This shortcode inserts "Call to action", event item or columns layout.

Example:

[trx_sc_action type="default" columns="" slider="" slides_space="0" actions="%5B%7B%22position%22%3A%22mc%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Change%20your%20health%20in%20one%20day!%22%2C%22subtitle%22%3A%22Free%20recommendations%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22%23%22%2C%22link_text%22%3A%22Get%20it%22%2C%22bg_image%22%3A%22397%22%2C%22icon_type%22%3A%22fontawesome%22%7D%5D" title_style="default" title_align="center" title="" subtitle="" description="" link="" link_text="" link_image="" height="" full_height="1" scheme="inherit" id="" class="" css="" slider_pagination=""]

Anchor

This shortcode inserts an "Anchor" item for the inner page navigation. If you want to create one-page navigation then make sure you checked the "Scroll to Anchor" option in Appearance > ThemeREX Addons > Shortcodes > Anchor.

Example:

[trx_sc_anchor icon_type="fontawesome" id="consultation" title="Consultation"]

Blogger

This shortcode displays category posts in a wide variety of different ways and styles. The single blog posts are editable in Posts (WP dashboard) > All Posts.

Example:

[vc_row][vc_column][trx_sc_blogger type="default" hide_excerpt="" cat="0" count="1" columns="1" orderby="date" order="desc" slider="" slider_pagination="" slides_space="0" title_style="default" title_align="default" title="" subtitle="" description="" link="" link_text="" link_image="" scheme="inherit" id="" class="" css=""][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Button

This shortcode displays buttons.

Example:

[trx_sc_button type="default" size="normal" link="https://melanie-hanson.themerex.net/contacts/" title="Schedule a tour" subtitle="" align="none" text_align="none" icon_type="fontawesome" icon_fontawesome="" image="" icon_position="left" id="" class="" css=".vc_custom_1470744075203{margin-top: 2rem !important;}"]

Content Area

This shortcode limits content width inside the fullwide rows. Just set the necessary width in the shortcode's options window. In the example below we insert the Button shortcode inside the content area with a limited width.

Example:

[vc_row][vc_column][trx_sc_content type="default" width="1_3" float="center" align="right" padding="none" title="" subtitle="" description="" link="" link_text="" link_image="" id="" class="" css=""]
 
[trx_sc_button type="default" size="normal" link="/contacts/" title="Schedule a tour" subtitle="" align="none" text_align="none" icon_type="fontawesome" icon_fontawesome="" image="" icon_position="left" id="" class="" css=".vc_custom_1470744075203{margin-top: 2rem !important;}"]
 
[/trx_sc_content][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Countdown

This shortcode displays countdown.

Example:

[vc_row][vc_column][trx_sc_countdown type="default" date="2016-12-12" time="23:59:59" align="default" title_style="default" title_align="default" title="" subtitle="" description="" link="" link_text="" link_image="" id="" class="" css=""][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Events

This shortcode displays events. To customize a single event post, proceed to the WordPress Dashboard Menu > Events.

Example:

[trx_sc_events cat="0" count="4" columns="1" past="" slider="" slides_space="0" title="Events" subtitle="" description="" link="/events/" link_text="All Events" link_image="" scheme="inherit" id="" class="" css="" type="detailed"]

Form

This shortcode displays a contact form. The text for the checkbox "I agree..." is set in Appearance > Customize > Content > 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 default form without consent checkbox, just leave the "Text with Privacy Policy link" option empty in the Appearance > Customize > Content section!

Example:

[vc_column width="2/3"][vc_empty_space alter_height="large" hide_on_mobile=""][trx_sc_form type="default" style="inherit" align="center" labels="" phone="" email="" address="" title_style="default" title_align="default" title="Get In Touch" subtitle="" description="Send me an email with a few words about what you are looking to achieve and we can schedule a FREE initial consultation to discuss your health history and goals." scheme="inherit" id="" class="" css=""][vc_empty_space alter_height="large" hide_on_mobile=""][vc_empty_space alter_height="medium" hide_on_mobile=""][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/6"][/vc_column]

To customize the form you should edit form template file in any text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. In the .../wp-content/plugins/trx_addons/shortcodes/form folder you can find form-related files like tpl.default.php, tpl.detailed.php and others. These files are responsible for displaying the form in different styles. Choose the file you need, open it in any text editor, and change HTML code according to your needs.

Extra Plugins & Features

ThemeREX Addons

As a free addition to this theme, we have included a unique "ThemeREX Addons" plugin. Once activated, it allows expanding the options of the theme noticeably. These add-ons allow you to enable/disable widgets, shortcodes, show custom post types, set links to your social profiles as well as some advanced theme-specific settings.

After plugin's installation, the "ThemeREX Addons" menu item should appear in the "Appearance" 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.

• 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 (Appearance > 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.


• Image dimensions - Which dimensions will be used for the uploaded images: "Original" or "Retina ready" (twice enlarged).


• 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.


• Add "Scroll to Top" - Add "Scroll to Top" button when page is scrolled.


• 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.

Calculated Fields Form

The Calculated Fields Form allows you to create forms with dynamically calculated fields to display the calculated values. It includes a form builder for adding/editing different field types, including one or more automatically calculated fields based on the data entered in other fields.

More information on how to properly use this plugin can be found here.

To get it working all you need to do is create your own form in the Settings > Calculated Fields Form section. Then grab the generated shortcode (for example the '[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="3"]' one) and paste it wherever you want on the page.

Please note that by default the calculated fields forms have white fields with no background. You should either add custom background or make sure they are being used on contrasting background.

[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id="3"]

Contact Form 7

Contact Form 7 can manage multiple contact forms, plus you can customize the form and the mail contents flexibly with simple markup. The form supports Ajax-powered submitting, CAPTCHA, Akismet spam filtering and so on.
Check this link for more information. More guides are available here (video tutorial) and here.

Please note that by default the contact form has white fields with no background. You should either add custom background or make sure it's being used on contrasting background.

The theme comes with several pre-built contact forms that can be customized in Contact (WP Dashboard) > Contact Forms. Below you can find an example of one of them.

[contact-form-7 id="1323" title="Contact Form"]

PLEASE NOTE! According to General Data Protection Regulation, you need to make your forms compliant. Some prebuilt forms, that come with this theme, already have the corresponding "I agree..." checkboxes.

For newly created forms you should add the consent checkboxes in ONE of the following ways:

1. Use [acceptance acceptance-86] tag, like in the example below:
   
2. Use the Cookie Information plugin (formerly WP GDPR Compliance) (not provided with the theme). Navigate to Cookie Information (WP Dashboard) > Settings > Integrations and enable a GDPR form tag integration for a particular form. You can specify and activate the Privacy Policy page in the Cookie Information (WP Dashboard) > Settings > Privacy Policy tab.
   
   
   
   Please treat the screenshot above as an example only. The titles of the forms may vary from the ones provided with the theme.

Translations

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.

In case you still have questions on how to use Poedit, please check the following resources:

• Editing language files with POEdit
