If you intend to do a setup only, dont need other additional things, choose “Installable Wordpress file only” option to directly download the .zip wordpress theme file. If you have downloaded the full packege by cicking "All Files & Documentation" extract it and choose the item name zip.

Server Installation

Before proceeding, make sure your server meets the required config. Then you can upload the theme zip file from Appearance > Themes > Add New Theme and activate it. When the theme is Activated, it will ask for “Begin installing plugins”. You can Install and then activate the plugins. As they are required plugins, don't skip them. Now you can proceed to “Demo import”

Demo Import

Please note that, after installation of Theme and required plugins,theme website will start with empty pages . There will be no Page, Post or any other Visual desing. You have to import Contents (Pages, Posts, Menu and other Elements) which you saw on Themeforest preview on your wordpress via demo import. It can be done in two ways:

  • 1. One Click Demo Import
  • 2. Manual XML Demo Import

One Click Demo Import

One Click Demo Import automatically imports all the required files. Users do not have to instruct anything to the importer. Before proceeding, we request you to check the requirements of the theme because anything lower than the theme's requirements will cause several issues. Users may find that the Demo import is 100% done but pages / posts may be non-editable, missing sections and many other problems. To Import via "One Click Demo Import" please goto Appearance > Theme Import / Demo Import.
It will open the welcome page and ask for "Start". This page will display some server status, please click "Start". Now, it will give you the option to install child theme. It is an optional choice. If you didn't install the required plugins on "installation" stage, you can install them again. Otherwise, you may skip. On this page, One Click Demo Import will start to import demo files automatically. Please click "Import". Now, the Import task has been started and will display progress in %. This will require some time (more than 3–4 minutes depending on theme size, server configuration). If you notice the progress bar is acting abnormally, like going backward - forward or sudden jump to 99%, the chance is that your server Configuration is lower than required, which is creating issues with the One click Demo importer,please check the server configuration. After successfull demo import WordPress website will be ready.

Manual XML Demo Import

On some occation, users may prefer to import the Demo files manually. It can be done by importing a XML file provided with theme packege (Download the full packege). Similar to One Click Demo importer, before proceeding, we request you to check the requirements of Theme because anything lower than Theme requirements will cause several issues.
First, activate the Wordpress importer from Tools > Import > Install Now . By default, it is turned off.
Now, click the "Run Importer". Click "Choose File" to upload XML file (Packed inside theme file zip), Locate the .xml File, proceed to "upload file and import".
On this page, it will ask which user should be assigned for imported poasts / pages. Also tick mark "Download and import file attachment" and click "Submit".
After importing Demo contents, It will show a page like this with a massage "All Done, Have Fun"

Menu Bar

Structure

Menubar, also called as Navigation bar, holds the Main Page/posts Link for visitor's quick navigation.

A Parent / Main Menu Bar link can have a sub menu link and that sub menu can also hold another sub menu too. It looks like below on the Wordpress panel:

Type

There are two types of Menu Bar used:
- General Menu
- OnePage Menu.
OnePage Menu is a special menu where the user does not go on the other pages of the website, they stay on a single page but navigate to different sections of the page by clicking links on the OnePage menu.
Below is a General Menu Bar which is linked to another page of the website.

Creating Menu:

To make a New Menu, click “create a new menu”, give it a name, Tick mark which type of Menu you want, generally it should be “Main Menu” but if you want to use for One page, you can name it "One Page Menu" or whateever you want. Now click “Create Menu”.
Now let's add some links to it. There are several options to put links on Menu. You can insert from:
- Recent Post / Pages
- Posts
- Custom Links
- Categories
- Woocommerce endpoints.
When selection is done, hit the “Add to menu” and they will be added on the right side as Menu.If you want to make a sub menu, it can be done easily. Just Drag the Menu to the right side and it will look like below “Sub Menu”.

One Page Menu:

One page manu allows you to jump into any section of a page.
Goto the section you want to link to, click on the section > advanced > CSS ID and give it a name (let's assume onepage_about). When all the sections have CSS ID, goto Menu page from Appearance > Menus > and provide a link to the CSS ID. The link will be like #onepage_about.

Mega Menu:

To work with Mega menu, first locate them from WPS Template > Megamenu Templates and copy the shortcode as like shown on the video. We assume that, you have prepared your Megamenu Templates. Now goto the Menu page (Appearance > Menus) and paste the link instead of regular link. Dont forget to add the CSS Class on "CSS Classes (optional)" like "wps_mega".

Header, Footer, Banner Setting

The header, footers, sidebar can be set in two ways. A general setting for the full website from "Theme Panel" or "individual setting" for per page.

Footer (Theme Panel Setting)

Just Below the "Header Setting" on left, "Footer Setting" can be found. Similar to Header setting, Footer settings can also have default and Elementor switch button alongwith other additional options.

A Cooking website can have category of Inddor , Outdoor cooking but it can have tags like fried, boiled, any brand. Tags does not have child options as like Categories.

Meta image

You will find "Excerpt" and put your custom Excerpt text there.

And second one is while editing any post with Elementor, go to the bottom left corner and click on the "Setting" icon. There you will find custom excert field.

Contact Form

Contact us forms or similar contact forms used on the theme use a third party plugin "Met form" to send data to user email. Make sure your hosting account has active email account which is capable of send / recieve emails, otherwise you may face issues.
The easiest method is to go to the page where the contact form is. Then find out the number of the contact form as shown on the video. As we know the number which is used on this from, now go back to the dashboard and navigate to Metform > Forms and edit that form. Now go to the Notification tab and turn on "Notification Mail to admin" and write your Email on "Email To". That's all.
