General Information

Thank you for purchasing our theme. We are happy that you are one of our customers, and we assure you will not be disappointed. We do our best to produce top-notch themes with great functionality, premium designs, and clear code.

License

With ThemeForest regular license, you are licensed to use this theme to create one single End Product (the final website customized with your content) for yourself or one client.

What is allowed with the single regular license:

1. You can create 1 website (on a single domain) for yourself or your client. You can then transfer that website to your client for any fee. In that case, the license is also transferred to your client.
2. You can install the theme on your test/development server for testing/development purposes.
   As soon as the project is ready for moving to another domain (create the backup to be on the safe side), please disconnect the license and activate the theme on another domain.
   Development installation will still be functional, except for importing/exporting demo data and installing updates. You can perform all other tasks there without any issues.
   Moreover, you can easily transfer the license from your production site to the development one and back again at any time, if needed.
3. You can have ONE active theme installation at a time. You can move the license to a different domain by "disconnecting the license" from the active theme installation and then re-entering the purchase key on a different WordPress installation.
4. You can modify or manipulate the theme, you can combine it with other works to create the End Product.
5. The theme updates for the single End Product (website) are free.

What is not allowed:

1. With a single regular license, you are not allowed to create multiple websites. For multiple websites, you will need multiple regular licenses.
2. To resell the same website (Single End Product) to another client. You will need to purchase an extended license for this.

For more information regarding license regulations and policies, see the links below:

• License FAQ
• Licenses overview
• Regular license details
• Extended license details

FIG Files & Images

IMPORTANT! We do not include theme-related .FIG files into the theme package, because it significantly increases the theme archive size. If you need those files, feel free to submit a support request.

The original clipart images included in the theme may be either paid or free. Paid images are marked with a copyright sign and are not available for download. They belong to their owners and can be purchased separately directly from these owners. If an image lacks a copyright symbol, it is free and you can use it in any of your projects.

Nevertheless, you can request the clipart-related paid image IDs/references and .FIG files by contacting our support department.

Bundled Plugins

The theme package contains several bundled plugins. Please click here to view the list of plugins that come included in the theme.

If a new version of a bundled plugin is available, it will be included in the next theme release. You can also request it by submitting a support ticket.

Bundled plugins are fully functional without the activation using a registration license key. In case you are willing to receive automatic updates and support from the plugin team, you will need to purchase the plugin separately. Only the direct buyers get the plugin license key.

Installation

WordPress Information

To install this theme, you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. Below are some useful links regarding WordPress information.

• WordPress FAQ - General information about WordPress.
• WordPress Documentation - A great knowledge base for WordPress beginners.
• 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 6.3, PHP 7.4 or higher.
External plugins may require additional limitations, like Elementor - PHP 8.0+ (for all features), 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 (recommended - 600, minimum value - 60)
• memory_limit 256M
  (This applies exclusively to Elementor and Elementor Pro. If your site uses additional plugins with minimum requirements, such as WooCommerce, you may need to increase your memory limit to 512M to prevent loading issues.)
• post_max_size 32M
• upload_max_filesize 32M

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

• php_value max_execution_time 600 (recommended - 600, minimum value - 60)
• php_value memory_limit 256M
  (This applies exclusively to Elementor and Elementor Pro. If your site uses additional plugins with minimum requirements, such as WooCommerce, you may need to increase your memory limit to 512M to prevent loading issues.)
• 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.

Here is the list of web hosting service providers we recommend:

• Bluehost (Exclusive Offer for our Customers: -70% OFF)
• SiteGround
• InMotion Hosting

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, a file with the documentation link, and bundled plugins (if used in the theme).

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!Elementra archive contains 24 themes (skins) in one package that differ in design only.

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.

Below, you can find a video tutorial on how to install the theme.

There are 2 ways to install the theme:

• via FTP:
  1. Log into your web server with FTP client software.
  2. Unzip the elementra.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /elementra theme folder.
  3. Upload the extracted elementra 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 elementra.zip folder and click the Install Now button.
  4. After the successful installation, click on Activate or navigate to Appearance > Themes and click on the Activate button to activate the newly installed theme.
  5. Install and activate the ThemeREX Addons plugin.
  6. Now, proceed to the WP Dashboard > Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General tab to enter your Purchase Code and some personal information. Theme activation allows you to get access to plugins, demo content, support, and updates.
     
     To get the purchase code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details. IMPORTANT! The number of theme activations (with purchase code) is LIMITED!
     
     Anyway, you are allowed to activate your theme locally or on the dev server, disconnect the license, and then move the theme to the main domain.
     If you have accidentally removed your WordPress installation without purchase code disconnection, please use this 1-time disconnection service:
     https://deactivate.themerex.net/.
     
     Please feel free to contact our support department if any issues arise.
  7. Make sure the required Advanced Theme Add-ons are active (under the 'WP Dashboard > Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > Addons' tab). You can find the description of each add-on here.
  8. Elementra archive contains 24 themes (skins) in one package that differ in design only. Under the "Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > Skins" tab select the skin, download it, and click on the "Activate" button. Depending on the chosen skin, the list of plugins and demo data may vary.

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

The theme license allows you to install the theme on ONE domain only! To connect the license to a different domain, first, click "Disconnect domain" (Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General) and then re-enter the purchase key on a different WordPress installation.
If you have accidentally removed your WordPress installation without purchase code disconnection, please use this 1-time disconnection service: https://deactivate.themerex.net/.
If you have any questions, please contact our support department.

Attention! Before any manipulations that will require re-entering the purchase key even on the same domain (e.g.: WordPress reinstallation or cleaning the database), please FIRST disconnect the domain!
If you have accidentally removed your WordPress installation without domain disconnection, please use this 1-time disconnection service: https://deactivate.themerex.net/.

Plugins Installation

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

• AI Engine
• Elementor (required)
• MetForm (lite version)
• ThemeREX Addons (required)
• ThemeREX Updater

PLEASE NOTE! This theme is compatible with the WP-Optimize - Clean, Compress, Cache plugin, though it is not provided with the theme.

You can find a detailed overview of each plugin in the Plugins section of this documentation file.

To make the theme look exactly as on the demo page, after the installation/activation of the ThemeREX Addons plugin and theme activation you would need to install the recommended plugins. Our theme supports two ways: through the "Theme Dashboard" menu or a prompt with a list of plugins to install. Let's look closer to both.

Through the "Theme Dashboard" menu

We suggest using this method, as it consolidates all controls related to theme activation, domain connection, selection of addons and skins (if available for a specific theme), plugin installation/activation, demo data installation, and basic website settings. This approach eliminates the need to navigate through multiple menus in the WordPress Dashboard when configuring the theme.

Navigate to WP Dashboard > Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard and under the "Plugins" tab choose all plugins you need by clicking on them.

To proceed, click on the "Install & Activate" button at the bottom. This process may take a while.

Through a prompt

This is an old method of installing plugins, though it still works.

1. At the top of the screen find a prompt with a list of plugins to install. Click on the Begin installing plugins link or go to Appearance > Install Plugins.
   
2. Check the plugins 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 plugins. Go to Appearance > Install Plugins, check all the listed plugins, 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 plugins (e.g. ThemeREX Addons, Elementor) and disabling the rest. Otherwise, it may significantly increase memory consumption, which might lead to unwanted issues.

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

Gutenberg Compatibility

Our theme is compatible with the 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 the 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 strongly 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 elementra-child.zip file in the theme package and upload it via the WordPress admin panel. Alternatively, you can unzip it and upload it 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 activated your theme copy (entered the purchase code in the WP Dashboard > Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General tab) and installed all the required plugins. Check the Plugins installation section for more information about the required plugins.

In case you do not have your Purchase Code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details.

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 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 plugin settings.

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

In case the demo data installation is stuck, and you see "Error load data from the file ... " error message, you can manually install it by downloading the skin-name.zip archive with demo data from our server for each skin separately (for example: for the "Default" skin it will be default.zip). The archive should be unzipped. Then create demo/ folder in wp-content/themes/elementra/ directory and copy /skin-name folder to wp-content/themes/elementra/demo.

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.

Installation FAQs

Theme Update

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

Before you go ahead with the update, make sure to back up your old theme's folder. Download it to your computer locally.

Update Option 1. Update using the ThemeREX Updater plugin

1. Please make sure the ThemeREX Updater plugin is installed and activated. This plugin is provided with the theme.
2. Optional! If you have activated your theme copy (entered a purchase code in the Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > Theme Dashboard > General tab) you can omit this step.
   Otherwise, navigate to Appearance > ThemeREX Updater and enter your purchase code to get the latest versions of bundled plugins 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.
   Please note, this section requires a purchase code ONLY! Envato Elements token will not work here!
3. We recommend that you check the "Create backups" option (Appearance > ThemeREX Updater tab) to allow the system to 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 the 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 the Downloads tab. Find the theme and download the Installable WordPress file only.
   
2. Log into your WordPress website and go to Appearance > Themes.
3. Activate a default WordPress theme. Delete the older version of your theme and re-upload the new WordPress Installable files that you have downloaded from ThemeForest during the 1st step.
4. Once it is uploaded, activate the theme.
   
   IMPORTANT! If you're using a child theme, do not activate the newly uploaded parent theme. Activate your old child theme instead. Otherwise, all the child theme customizations will be lost.
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 plugin. You can click on the "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 the 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 Filezilla and CyberDuck).
3. Change the directory to /wp-content/themes.
4. Remove/rename existing folder with old theme files.
5. Unpack theme installable files downloaded from ThemeForest and upload them to the themes folder.
6. Update (if necessary!) the included plugins in the way described above, if you see a notification message prompting about a newer version.

PLEASE NOTE! We carefully monitor the relevance of our themes and continuously make improvements, functional extensions, and necessary fixes. Some of these changes occur automatically in many themes immediately after adjustments are made in the framework. Due to the large number of themes in our portfolio, there may be a delay between making changes and uploading the theme to ThemeForest. You should not worry, as immediately after installing and activating the theme downloaded from ThemeForest, you will be offered a theme update in the admin panel if a more recent version is available on our server. Furthermore, to update the theme in the future, there is no need to download it from ThemeForest again - notifications of new versions will appear in the admin panel. The theme and bundled plugins can be updated directly from the Dashboard > Updates menu.

Theme Customizer

Now let's navigate to Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Customize to flexibly control the appearance and behavior of the whole website as well as individual types of posts, pages, and categories.

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.
Settings of "Blog" and other groups (depending on the plugins installed) may also override default/general settings available through Customizer.

Moreover, you can see the changes in the front end right after the alterations - when the needed parameter is selected, without switching from admin to front end each time. When you are done with the changes, you should click on Publish button at the top of the Customizer's side menu.

IMPORTANT! Please be aware that all the Customizer's settings are also available for editing through Theme Panel (WordPress Dashboard Menu) > Theme Options section.

PLEASE NOTE! The screenshots from this chapter are given for demonstration purposes only. The theme settings (enabled/disabled options) may vary from the ones provided in the screenshots.

Logo & Site Identity

The settings of this group are responsible for managing site identity features. This is the initial place where you should upload your logo.

Site Title

The text entered into this field appears as the logo title (if the image logo is not uploaded and the "Use Site Name as Logo" option is enabled) and as the website's title in your browser tab.

Tagline

The text entered into this field appears as the website slogan under the logo. By default, the tagline is used if no image logo is selected and the "Use Site Name as Logo" option is enabled.

Site Icon (Favicon)

The site icon (favicon) is used as a browser and app icon for your site. Icons must be square, and at least 512 pixels wide and tall.

Logo-related settings

These settings allow managing your logo images (main for light background and secondary for dark background) as well as their Retina versions (if the "Allow retina display logo" option is checked). As a rule, the retina logo should be twice as big as the regular logo to be displayed properly.
Here, you can also zoom the logo. 1 - original size. Please note, that the maximum size of the logo depends on the actual size of the image. This option works if the max height of the logo is set in em in the Elementor "Layouts: Logo" widget.

The "Use Site Name as Logo" option displays the site title and tagline as a text logo if no image is selected.

Uploading Logo via Layouts

The logo uploaded in the Customizer can be overwritten by the logo image selected in the Header layout. This allows you to upload a different logo image for each page.

1. Check what header style is selected in the Appearance > Customize > Header > Header style. (You can choose a different header style for a particular page in its Theme Options.)
2. Navigate to the Theme Layouts > Header and open this header layout.
3. Locate the Elementor Layouts: Logo widget (ThemeREX Addons Layouts group) and click on the Edit button.
4. Go to "Panel > Content" and navigate to the "Logo" option. From the drop-down list, select "main" or "secondary" to use the logo set in "Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity" or choose "custom" to upload a new one from the Media library. Don’t forget to save your changes.

General

The settings of this group are responsible for managing the overall look of the site.

Layout settings:

Here you can choose the body style, page margins, the page width (site content + sidebar) in pixels as well as apply a background image and page extra spaces for the "Boxed" body style.

• Boxed - the page's body is in the area of limited screen width, and the background image is visible.
• Wide - the page's body occupies an entire screen width (the background image is behind it and is not visible), and the content occupies the fixed width area in the center of the screen.
• Fullwidth - the page's body occupies almost all screen width.
• Fullscreen - the page's body occupies an entire screen width.

PLEASE NOTE! When you upload your background image, please pay attention to the image size. By default, WordPress may resize images.
The WordPress also limits the size of uploading images, thus allowing you to upload any image to your media library up to 2560px ONLY!

Sidebar-related settings

• Sidebar position - moves the sidebar to the right or left-hand side of the page, or hides it.
  
  Additional options for "Left/Right" sidebar position:

    For a "Default" sidebar style:
    
    
    • Sidebar widgets - specify which widgets set to show in the sidebar area. The widgets are available in Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Widgets.
    For a "Custom" sidebar style:
    
    
    • Select custom layout - select already built sidebar layout. You can create new sidebar layouts or customize the existing ones in the Dashboard > Theme Layouts tab, using a user-friendly Elementor. Check the Theme Layouts section for more information.
  • Sidebar width - specify the width of the sidebar (in pixels).
  • Sidebar gap - specify the gap between content and sidebar (in pixels).
  • Sidebar proportional - change the width of the sidebar and gap proportionally when the window is resized, or leave the width of the sidebar constant.
• Content width - choose the content width if the sidebar is hidden.

Miscellaneous setting

Here you can choose the image's hovers and specify SEO-related parameters.

Below, you can find an example of an image's hover effect with the option set to "Dots".

Text with Privacy Policy link

Specify the text for the checkbox in a comment form on single posts. This text will be displayed before the Privacy Policy link.

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. If you do not want to display the "For further details on handling user data, see our Privacy Policy" text, just leave this setting empty.

PLEASE NOTE! In case you are planning to use default forms without consent checkboxes, just leave the "Text with Privacy Policy link" option empty!

Header

The settings of this group allow you to manage the overall look and behavior of the header elements.

You can set up header settings for a specific page in the Theme Options > Header section of that page.

Style-related settings

These settings allow managing the style ("Default" or "Custom") and position of the header area. For a custom header style, you can specify the header layout (available only if the ThemeREX Addons plugin is activated).

Available Custom Header Layouts:

1. Header – Main Dark [Logo & Menu]
   This header layout features white elements. In the example below, the header content is displayed over a custom dark background image. For more details, refer to the "Home" page.
2. Header – Main Light [Logo & Menu]
   (with bottom divider)
3. Header – Main Light [Logo & Menu with Title]

Please also see the header-related layouts section of this documentation file. All elements of pre-built custom header areas can be edited in the Dashboard > Theme Layouts > Header tab, using a user-friendly Elementor. Check the Theme Layouts section and this video tutorial for more information.

To avoid "Sticky Menu" behavior (if implemented in your theme), select the "Don't fix" option in the Edit Container > Layout > Custom Layout > Fix this row when scroll (for a container with the menu element). Check also the Theme Layouts description.

You can also watch this video tutorial on how to enable a sticky header:

Available Default Header Style:

The header area in the "Default" style is created via the Global Customize settings (Appearance > Customize). You can also navigate to the .../wp-content/themes/elementra/skins/skin-name/templates/ folder and edit the corresponding template file header-default.php.

Header Position

The Header position setting controls the way your header behaves regarding the main body area.

• Default - the default header position. The header occupies a separate section and does not collide with other website elements.
• Over - ideally is used for pages with sliders. The header elements overflow the section that follows next, and the header background becomes transparent.

Header Background Image-related settings

These settings allow selecting a header background image or background video.

Header FAQs

Where can I change the header style for my website?

Go to Appearance > Customize > Header and adjust the Header Style setting.

Where to customize a header style?

Check which header style you are currently using in Appearance > Customize > Header > Header Style. The "Default" header style is created via the Global Customize settings (Appearance > Customize). You can also navigate to the .../wp-content/themes/elementra/skins/skin-name/templates/ folder and edit the corresponding template file header-default.php.

For the "Custom" header style:

1. Check which custom header Layout you are currently using in Appearance > Customize > Header in the Select custom layout option.
2. In the WordPress admin panel, go to Theme Layouts > Header, and open the currently active header layout. If you do not see the "Theme Layouts" menu item - activate the ThemeREX Addons plugin first.
3. Make the required changes and save it.

For more information on how to change, customize and create Layouts, see the Theme Layouts section.

Where to change a logo (header logo)?

1. In the Customizer (WP Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity) or global Theme Options (WordPress Dashboard Menu > Theme Panel)
   By default, the header logo settings can be adjusted here.
2. Ask AI Assistant to replace logo if it is set in the global settings (Customizer or global Theme Options). Find a chat icon in the right bottom corner of your Dashboard. By default, the AI Assistant is enabled. Otherwise, proceed to WP Dashboard > Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > AI Helper > Common Settings, find the "Allow AI Assistant" option, and turn it on.
3. Via Header Layouts
   If you are using custom header styles, you can manage the logo in your header Layout through the Elementor "Layouts: Logo" widget (ThemeREX Addons Layouts group). IMPORTANT! The logo specified in your header Layout overwrites the logo set in the Customizer or global Theme Options.

How to enable/disable a sticky header?

A sticky header is a type of header that stays at the top of your page while scrolling. You can enable or disable the sticky header behavior by following these steps:

1. Open the header Layout you are currently using in Theme Layouts > Header.
2. Locate the container with a menu element (or any other container that should have the sticky behavior) and click on the "Edit Container" button:
3. Go to the Edit Container > Layout > Custom Layout > Fix this row when scroll and choose the needed option from the drop-down list (depending on whether you want to enable or disable the sticky menu).
4. Save the changes.

How can I add a mobile header?

There is 1 way to add a mobile header:

• Via header Layouts - navigate to Theme Layouts (WP Dashboard) > All Layouts. Please see Elementor video tutorial or article.
  We suggest creating a separate container for header elements and setting it to be visible on mobile devices only under "Edit Container > Advanced > Responsive", while hiding other elements. This approach helps improve loading speed on mobile devices.

Footer

The setting of this group is responsible for choosing the style of the footer area.

Style-related settings

Available Default Footer Style (without footer widgets):

The footer area in the "Default" style is created via the Global Customize settings (Appearance > Customize). You can also navigate to the .../wp-content/themes/elementra/skins/skin-name/templates/ folder and edit the corresponding template file footer-default.php in any text editor.

Additional options for the Default Footer style:

• Footer widgets - select a preferred footer widgets set. Check the Widgets section for more information.
• Footer columns - set the necessary columns' quantity to display the widgets in. Choose 0 to autodetect the number of columns based on how many widgets you have got in the set.
• Copyright - enter the copyright message. Use the {Y} symbol to indicate the current year.

Menus

The settings of this group are responsible for managing Menus. Each menu location is available for filling with any of the predefined menu sets.

Menus are also available for editing through the "Appearance > Menus" options.

Below are predefined Menu locations:

• Main Menu - displays the main menu.
• Mobile Menu - displays the menu on mobile devices.

Predefined Menu sets:

Within custom header & footer layouts, you can add menus using the Elementor Layouts: Menu widget.

Custom Mega Menus

The functionality of creating custom menus, or any kind of complex menus is embedded into the theme. Thus, you do not need to install any external plugins, like Uber Menu or Mega Menu.

To build a complex menu:

• Navigate to Theme Layouts (WP Dashboard) > Add New and create a new layout with a Submenu type.
• Add content you want the submenu to contain. Save your changes and publish the layout.
• Proceed to Appearance > Menus and apply your submenu layout to a menu item: open the menu item, click on "Settings", in the newly opened popup window find the "Layout of submenu (optional)" field, and choose the created Submenu layout. The "Layout of submenu" field appears only when at least one submenu layout is created. The Submenu layout may contain different types of content, even other layouts.

Here are some examples of custom menus from our themes:

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 widgets sets, that can be assigned to available default widget areas. This is useful when you have different widgets sets for different pages.

By default our theme supports 2 widget areas:

• Sidebar
• Footer

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

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

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

Widgets Sets Assignment for the Whole Site

Body widgets (for sidebar) are accessible in the Appearance > Customize > General section.
The sidebar widgets work for the Default Sidebar Style only! Otherwise, navigate to the WP Dashboard > Theme Layouts > Sidebar tab to manage the sidebar layout.

Footer widgets are available for managing in the Appearance > Customize > Footer section. The footer widgets work for Default Footer Style only! Otherwise, you need to customize the corresponding footer Layout in WP Dashboard > Theme Layouts > Footer.

Widgets Sets Assignment for a Specific Page

If you want to specify a widgets set for a separate page, open that page in your WordPress admin, and in the Theme Options section choose the required widgets. The widgets assigned in Theme Options would be applicable only to that particular page.

Example of page settings with enabled default sidebar:

Customizing Widgets 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 different kinds of widgets sets on a particular page. The same can be done through Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Widgets.

Below are options responsible for managing blocks.

• Add a Block: just click on the "Add a Block" button to see the available widgets, then choose the one you want to use: Click on the block itself to open its settings.

Save your changes after editing the sidebar.

Custom Widgets

Moreover, our theme provides a few Custom Widgets that are available in the Appearance > Widgets section (under the "Widgets" group).

• ThemeREX Audio Player: Shows an audio player to play an audio file uploaded locally (from your Media library) or an external one (through embedded HTML code). The system ignores the "Audio caption" and "Author name" options, if the embedded code is used.
• ThemeREX Google map: Shows Google map with a specified address. To make the Google map function properly, please make sure there is a valid API key in the "Google API key" field in the Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > API tab.

The theme enables you to use both Google Fonts and custom fonts in your design. You can load up to 5 different font families, including different styles and weights for each typeface.

IMPORTANT! To manage the fonts quantity available for upload, edit 'max_load_fonts' => 5 variable in theme-specific/theme.setup.php file.

Colors

Customize your site's colors.

PLEASE NOTE! In Elementor, these colors appear under Global Colors > Theme Colors or colors with "Theme" prefix. When used on pages, updating the color scheme will automatically apply the changes across the entire site for the elements to which this color scheme is applied.

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

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.

Color Scheme Editor

The theme contains the following groups of color settings:

MAIN

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

• Background - the background color of blocks;
• Background 2 - the background color of contrasting blocks;
• Border - color used for elements with a border and for content delimiters, etc.;
• Heading - color for the primary text: titles, bold/strong, links in lists, links in titles, etc.;
• Text - color for the main body text;
• Text Meta - color for the secondary text (post meta, post date, counters, categories, tags, etc.);
• Accent - the main accent color of a website. The color can be used as a links color, and the color for minor elements, like link hover in lists, link hover in titles, etc.
• Hover - the hover color for links.

ALTER

Alter means alternative color group, mostly applied for the sidebar and footer. This group of colors can also be applied to page blocks that are output on some background by default (the background is NOT added through the page builders). Alter colors include the same elements as the Main color group.

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.

Background

The settings of this group allow editing the background color/image (the one behind the body's content when the "Boxed" body style is on).

Just click on the Select image button to upload the image from the Media Library or your computer. Right after this step, additional options appear, such as "Preset", "Image Position", "Image Size", and a few others.

Additional CSS

The settings of this group allow you to specify additional custom styles.

Homepages

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

You can import required pages, along with the page settings, using the Importer tool. Learn more about it in the Demo Content chapter.

New Page Creation

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

Page Templates

Choose either the "Blog Archive" (blog page) or "Default Template" (regular page) option in right panel > Page > Template. Check the Posts pages article to find out more information on how to customize them.

Custom Page Settings

Each page has a Theme Options panel, where you can specify custom page parameters.

In Theme Options, you can assign a different header/footer style, widgets set, body style, as well as many other options for each individual page.

These settings are applied to the page you are editing and will overwrite the global settings specified in the Customizer (Dashboard > Appearance) or global Theme Options (Dashboard > Theme Panel).

Attention! If you plan to use pre-built templates from the ThemeREX Template library (requires the Elementor Templates Add-on), note the page width limitations. All templates in this library are designed for pages with "Fullscreen" content width (Page > Theme Options > Content > Body Style). If you use a different content width, adjust the page element margins accordingly.

Options Presets Group

Here you can save the page settings (for header, widgets, footer, etc.) as a preset template and duplicate these settings on a new page without checking the required options in each section of the Theme Options panel (Content/Header/Footer). All you need to do is to apply the already created preset template on a new page by using control icons ("Apply selected preset"/"Create a new preset"/"Delete selected preset"). The tooltips for the icons will help you.

You can enable or disable the Theme Options panel in Preferences > General in the top right corner of the WordPress admin.

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

Alternatively, you can assign a page as a homepage in Appearance > Customize > Homepage Settings.

PLEASE NOTE! The Default skin comes with the following Homepages.

Homepage (Default Skin)

Below, you can find the screenshots of "Homepage" front end (Default Skin) with hotspots describing where you can customize content for a particular container and the "Theme Options" settings.

PLEASE NOTE! Custom container names such as "Hero," "About," or "Pricing" refer to template categories from the ThemeREX template library. This library is accessible when the "Elementor Templates" add-on is activated.
Rename containers effortlessly in the Elementor navigator by double-clicking the container title and entering a new name.

The background color/image for the page blocks can be set or managed in the Edit Container > Style > "Background"/"Background Overlay" tabs in the Elementor widgets panel.

"Edit Container > Advanced > Position" settings in the Elementor widgets panel let page blocks overlap each other, the following parameters are available:

• "Shift block" options - change the position of the selected block only, the rest blocks on the page remain unmoved.
• "Push block"/"Pull next block" options - move blocks by setting margins. All nearby blocks will shift accordingly.

You can also set the entrance animation for page elements in Edit any element > Advanced > Motion Effects.

Theme Options settings (Homepage (Default Skin)):

Attention! If you plan to use pre-built templates from the ThemeREX Template library (requires the Elementor Templates Add-on), note the page width limitations. All templates in this library are designed for pages with "Fullscreen" content width (Page > Theme Options > Content > Body Style). If you use a different content width, adjust the page element margins accordingly.

Homepage (Yoga Skin)

This homepage contains a background pattern that is set globally.

To manage or remove the pattern, open the site settings through the Elementor page builder and proceed to the "Background" tab (page canvas > Site Settings > Background).

Content Editing Tips

This chapter guides you through adjusting effects that aren't immediately obvious.

• Element Rotation;
• Popup Window with a Video;
• Rotating Text;
• Scrolling Lines;
• Moving Effects on Mouse Hover or Scrolling up/down;

Element Rotation

You can adjust an element's orientation — rotating it diagonally or at a slight angle — by navigating to page element > Advanced > Transform > Rotate in Elementor. For example, we applied this to the image.

Popup Window with a Video

Some page blocks can contain a play icon/button that opens a popup window with a video.

To replace the link for the video, find the "Layouts" widget nearby the play button/icon and specify the code for the hosted video or the link there under "Text Content". Please make sure the "Custom Layout" option is set to 'Not selected'.

If you open the 'Layouts' widget settings and see "Video Popup" (or a similar name) in the "Custom Layout" field, it means the video is embedded in a custom layout via WP Dashboard > Theme Layouts > Custom. This setup is especially useful if you want a single video to play from multiple buttons or icons across different pages. Instead of updating each page individually, you can simply change the video link in one place — and it updates everywhere.

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/video code/video link or shortcode (like grid gallery, mailchimp form, etc.), just omit this step.
2. Add a new Elementor container to the page. In the left panel with Elementor widgets open the "ThemeREX Addons Layouts" group, drag and drop the Layouts widget from the panel into your container. 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 # sign, as an address for the link or button that should trigger the popup/panel.

Rotating Text

The text rotates continuously, as shown below:

The text is inserted using the Elementor "Text Path" widget. The rotating effect is enabled in Edit Text Path > Advanced > Motion Effects > Entrance Animation.

Scrolling Lines

The scrolling lines are created using the Background Text Add-on. Proceed to Edit Container > Style > Background Text to adjust the lines.

The image between the words and its rotation are set in the "Background Text" settings, under "Divider".

The image divider set in the "Divider" section appears at the end of the entire phrase. To place dividers between words, use the [divider] macros in the "Text" field to insert the image or icon from the "Divider" settings.

Please view the Background Text Add-on chapter of this documentation file for more information.

Moving Effects on Mouse Hover or Scrolling up/down

The moving effects of any page element on mouse hover or scrolling up/down can be managed in the Edit your page element > Advanced > Animation section. In the example below, the images start moving when you scroll the page up and down:

The "Scrolling Animation" functionality is enabled.

Stacked Sections

You can easily decorate your website with stacked page blocks.

When you scroll your page down, the page blocks below moves over the visible content. When you scroll the page up, the visible block slides down, recovering the block underneath.

Open the Elementor container's settings and under Edit Container > Advanced > Advanced tab enable the "Stack section" option. Here you can also specify the stack effect: slide or fade. Save your changes.

Theme Layouts

Introduction to Layouts

Layout 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 plugin. After the activation, a new menu item appears in your WordPress admin panel.

Your theme comes with some pre-built Layouts. If you've imported the full content, the layouts 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

To create a layout, navigate to Theme Layouts (WP Dashboard) > Add New.

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

Please check this article for detailed information regarding layouts customization.
You can also view official articles about header and footer template customization using a Flexbox container.

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 is listed among the 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 a custom dropdown menu without installing Uber Menu/Mega Menu plugins. You can apply the submenu layout in the Appearance > Menus > your menu item > Settings > Layout of submenu (optional) field.
   The "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 the 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/Blog sections or in page > Theme Options > Content > Sidebar style > Custom.
5. Custom - the standard layout fragment that can be added to a web page using the 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.

To add a custom Layout to a web page:

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

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 back-end 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 standard Elementor library.

Anyway, we’re pleased to announce the development of our own Elementor template library, the "ThemeREX Template Library". It becomes accessible when the "Elementor Templates" add-on is activated. The library is continually updated with new templates.

Creating a Mobile Header in Layouts

Layout 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 to use Layouts more efficiently. Please see the official Elementor video tutorial or article for more information.

We suggest creating a separate container for header elements and setting it to be visible only on mobile devices under "Edit Container > Advanced > Responsive", while hiding other elements. This approach helps improve 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.

Layouts

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

• Default - displays one of the custom layouts available in WP Dashboard > Theme Layouts > Custom post type.
• 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 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 container to the page. In the left panel with Elementor widgets open the "ThemeREX Addons Layouts" group, drag and drop the Layouts widget from the panel into your container. 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: Language

In case the WPML plugin is active, the widget displays a button (drop-down list) that allows choosing the necessary language for the current page.

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 a new logo by going to Theme Layouts > All Layouts.
2. Locate the Elementor Layouts: Logo widget (ThemeREX Addons Layouts group) and click on the Edit button.
3. Go to "Panel > Content" and navigate to the "Logo" option. From the drop-down list, select "main" or "secondary" to use the logo set in "Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity" or choose "custom" to upload a new one from the Media library. Don’t forget to save your changes.

IMPORTANT! The 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 the available menus. Specify a preferred menu in the Menu field by its name, like in the screenshot below.

The Layout parameter allows selecting the Menu Layout:

• Default - standard menu with links.
• Burger - just a button that opens Mobile menu.

Direction of the menu items: Horizontal or Vertical.

Specify a 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.

Search Form

• Hide on other pages - hides the row on pages that are not single ones (posts archive, category or taxonomy posts, author's posts, etc.).

Default Layouts

In this section, you can find examples of layouts that come with the theme (Default Skin). If you have imported the full demo content, the layouts will be available for you from the start. Otherwise, you would need to generate them in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Theme Specific > Create Layouts. Feel free to create your own layouts.

You can view the list of available Layouts in Theme Layouts (WP Dashboard) > All Layouts.

All layouts are divided into five types. For more information on how to add each type of layouts to the page, please view the Creating Layouts section of this documentation file.

1. Header Layouts - displays layouts in the header area.
2. Footer Layouts - inserts layouts into the footer area.
3. Submenu Layouts - displays submenu layouts. Thus, it is possible to create a custom dropdown menu via Elementor Page Builder without installing Uber Menu/Mega Menu plugins.
4. Sidebar Layouts - displays layouts in the sidebar area.
5. Custom Layouts - pastes layouts in any area of the website, except the header and footer.

Important! Please be aware that this theme does not provide any examples of custom and submenu layouts. Feel free to create your own ones.

Elementor Widgets

Elementor Widgets in WordPress let you add different kinds of functionality to your website without writing a single line of code.

Our theme comes with some custom Elementor widgets allowing you to add the information in a simple way.

Custom Elementor widgets (with icon functionality) support icons from the Elementor Icon library (Font Awesome set). If you have a Font Awesome Pro license, you will have a larger set of icon families to choose from. Please view official article on how to use the Icon Library in Elementor.

We have arranged all custom Elementor widgets in the following groups of elements in the Elementor Editor:

ThemeREX Addons Elements group

ThemeREX Addons Layouts group

Attention! Below are examples of Elementor widgets taken from various themes, not necessarily the one you are using. Therefore, the screenshots showing the front-end view of these widgets are for reference only. The actual element styles may differ from those in your theme.
The number of widgets may vary depending on the plugins installed in your skin if the theme supports several skins.

You can set limits for regular users (free audio generation) and for registered users with paid subscriptions separately ("Premium Mode"). The premium mode should be enabled in the widget's settings of audio generation form if you are using the limitations for registered users.

Once these limits are exceeded, the audio from the "Demo Audio" section of this widget will be used (from your /wp-content/uploads/ folder).

Examples:

Content Switcher

This Elementor widget allows you to make a section switcher with two positions or tabs.

The colors for the switcher and titles are customizable.

Example (swap effect):

Example (tabs layout):

A few words on how the tabs example was created.

Open the widget's settings panel and set the content for the tabs. Our goal is to make each tab with contact information trigger its own map by the section (container) ID when you click on the tab. It means, that the containers (with maps) with these IDs should be placed below the "Content Switcher" widget with tabs. So, the "Content Type" option is set to "Section ID" and the container ID is specified. We are using different IDs for each tab.

Place the containers with google maps and assign the IDs to them.

The system will automatically display the needed container depending on the active tab.

Cover Link

This widget allows you to build unique linked banners, assembled through Elementor page builder.

This Elementor widget inserts a link with absolute position, that will overlap a parent container. This makes the whole container clickable. This widget stays invisible itself, so the container should contain any other element.

Google Map

This Elementor widget displays a Google map. Make sure there is a valid API key in the "Google API key" field on the Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > API tab.

Example:

Hotspot

This Elementor widget inserts an image with an unlimited number of hotspots, that are fully customizable. The content for the hotspots can be set manually (an image, title, subtitle, price, link, description) or can be inherited from a definite post.

To set the post from which you need to take the content for your hotspot, choose "Post" in the "Data Source" dropdown, click on the "Post" field, and start typing in your post title. The system will automatically find the post that matches your search request. Click on the post title and save your changes.

• MapTiler Cloud - allows you to customize vector and raster styles;
• MapBox - you can customize vector and raster styles. For inserting multiple maps on a page, we recommend stylizing all maps using this site. Alternatively, you can place all maps designed from this site at the bottom of the page, ensuring no other maps with different designs are below them.
• Leaflet Extras - provides pre-built set of custom raster styles;

You can set the OpenStreetMap API script and styles for the map in the Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > API tab.

Map markers customization

If you want to use a single marker on the map with the default OSM icon, specify its parameters directly in the "Edit OpenStreet Map > Content > OpenStreet Map > Address" field.

For multiple markers, custom markers, or text tooltips, go to "Edit OpenStreet Map > Content > Markers" and create a list of markers.

When placing markers, you can specify their positions using a regular address or a pair of Latitude and Longitude (Lat, Lng) coordinates. You can also set an image for a marker in the widget's parameters. Note that the "zero" point of the marker is the center of its bottom edge.

The "Title" field - displays a tooltip when you hover the mouse over a marker.

2. Add a new Elementor container to the page. In the left panel with Elementor widgets open the "ThemeREX Addons Layouts" group, drag and drop the Layouts widget from the panel into your container. 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.

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 use custom widgets sets and custom Elementor widgets, set links to your social profiles as well as some advanced theme-specific settings.

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

Below is a brief description of all the available settings.

PLEASE NOTE! Please treat the screenshots in this chapter as pure examples. The theme settings (enabled/disabled options) may vary from the ones in your theme.

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 every file loads separately. That is why we do recommend turning 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.

Images

• Image dimensions - Choose which dimensions will be used for the uploaded images: "Original" or "Retina ready" (twice enlarged).
  If the "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 plugin, like regenerate thumbnails, after switching this option.
• Quality for cropped images - Specify a range of quality (1-100) to save cropped images.
  
  
  PLEASE NOTE If you change the image quality, do not forget to regenerate the thumbnails again.
  
  
• Big images threshold - If the original image width or height is above the threshold, it will be scaled down. The threshold is used as max width and max height. If 0 - turn off image size check.
• Popup Engine - Choose one of two scripts to display your popup images.

Links

• Animate inner links - This setting adds a "smooth scroll" effect to the inner page links.

This add-on is still in development. New features will come soon.

Before you start, please navigate to Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons and find the "AI Helper" section. Here, you can insert your own Open AI, ModelsLab (formerly Stable Diffusion), Stability AI, Flowise AI, Google AI (Gemini), and/or LumaLabs AI (Dream Machine) tokens, choose the models for generating images/chats/audio/video here as well as specify the limitations for your customers to generate images/text/audio/music/video from your website or for chat requests and much more. It's a PAID service! Please click here to find the description of the global AI Helper settings.

Links for generating tokens:

• Open AI - https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys;
• ModelsLab - https://modelslab.com/settings/api;
• Stability AI - https://platform.stability.ai/account/keys;
• Google AI (Gemini) - https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey;
• LumaLabs AI (Dream Machine) - https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine/api/keys;
• Extend support period for 6 months - https://themerex.net/downloads/technical-support/;

Currently, Open AI Helper can:

1. Use AI Assistant in the admin area (in the right bottom corner) to display and change some global theme settings (website title, tagline, logo; colors of a defined color scheme; mouse helper settings, etc.), as well as answer questions related to the theme customization. The assistant functions when you have paid support, which initially lasts for 6 months from the theme purchase. To continue using AI Assistant, you will need to extend the support period through a paid service and enter your new support key in "ThemeREX Addons > AI Helper > Common Settings".
2. Create content for a post, page, or available CPT post through Gutenberg page builder. It can generate post content, titles, and excerpts, as well as help you correct text fragments: make them longer, or shorter, summarize, translate, explain, and much more.
   
   If you want to make the process of assembling content more efficient, open your post, page, or available CPT post and find the "TRX Addons AI Helper" tab in the right panel. Enjoy using Open AI technologies. Please view our video tutorial for more information about generating/customizing content with AI Helper.
   
   
3. Generate company info
   
   In the general Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > AI Helper > Open AI API settings specify a valid Open AI token. Now, proceed to Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > AI Helper > AI Content Generator, fill in the "Company Name" and "Industry" fields, and click on the "Generate Demo Content" button in the upper-right corner. Save your changes.
4. Generate content for Elementor widgets based on company info
   
   Specify a valid Open AI token in the general Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > AI Helper > Open AI API settings. Proceed to Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > AI Helper > AI Content Generator and enter or generate your company information. Save your changes. Once this is done, open a page in the Elementor page builder and insert any Elementor widget, leaving it empty. Access the context menu for the section or container with the widget, then click "Generate Texts with AI" to create content. In the newly opened popup specify the type of content and click on the "Generate" button. When generating, company data will be used as a context for generation. IMPORTANT! Ensure the Elementor section or container is not empty when generating content based on company data!
5. Generate images right in the WordPress Media Library Selector popup and create variations of generated images with the ability to upload them to your WordPress Media Library.
   
   This functionality is implemented into Gutenberg and Elementor page builders. Just click on the "choose/upload image" button anywhere on the page's back end where you want to insert an image and in the newly opened WordPress Media Library Selector popup switch to the "AI Image Generator" tab. Now, specify the search parameters and generate the images. The "AI Image Generator" tab appears only if the Open AI, ModelsLab (formerly Stable Diffusion), and/or Stability AI token is entered in the general "ThemeREX Addons > AI Helper" settings!
   
   You can activate the models by filling them into the list in the general "ThemeREX Addons > AI Helper" settings under the "Open AI API", "ModelsLab API", or "Stability AI API" tabs.
   
   Generated images can have a size of 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024, 1792x1024 (Open AI DALL-E-3 only), or 1024x1792 (Open AI DALL-E-3 only) pixels. Smaller images can be generated faster.
6. Process the selected images - add to the library, create variations and/or enlarge by 2, 3, 4 times.
   
   Open the WordPress Media Library Selector popup and select an image under the "Media Library" tab. In the newly opened right panel press the "Variations or Upscale" link. A "Process the selected image" form will appear. The following options are available:
   
   - Add to Library - upload the selected image to the media library;
   
   - Variations - generate a new image based on the selected one, using the generation parameters specified in the "Generate Images with AI Helper" form above;
   
   - Upscale - enlarge the selected image 2, 3 or 4 times without losing its quality;
7. Display an AI image generation form on your web page.
   
   To insert an image generator to your page, open a page/post using Gutenberg or Elementor page builder, and find the "AI Helper Image Generator" block or widget under the "ThemeREX Addons Elements" group. Adjust the block or widget to your needs and save your changes. You will get the following form on your front end.

You can set limits for regular users (free image generation) and for registered users with paid subscriptions separately ("Premium Mode"). Please do not forget to enable premium mode in the widget's settings.
8. Insert an AI text generation form into your web page.
   
   If you want your visitors to have the possibility to generate text (post, essay, story, poem, etc.) and headings, manipulate the text (make it longer/shorter, summarize, explain, translate, spell check, and much more) through your web page, open a page/post using Gutenberg or Elementor page builder and find "AI Helper Text Generator" block or widget under "ThemeREX Addons Elements" group. Place this block or widget on your page, set it up to your needs, and save your changes. You can get something like this: In the global "ThemeREX Addons > AI Helper > SC Text Generator" settings you can also specify the limitations for your visitors: the number of requests per 1 hour for all visitors, the number of allowed requests from 1 visitor in 1 hour, and max. tokens per 1 request.

Background Text Add-on

This add-on is embedded into the theme and can not be deactivated. The add-on enhances the Elementor functionality by adding "Background Text" parameters to Elementor sections/containers (rows) helping you create background text lines and animate them when they enter the visible area of the window. You can also make this text "scroll", like in a news ticker. In this case, after the entrance animation, the background text starts scrolling continuously.

To decorate your theme, open your page through the Elementor page builder, find the page row (Elementor section or container) to which the "background text" functionality you would like to apply, and proceed to Edit Section/Container > Style > Background Text in the Elementor widgets panel. Here you can specify the text, text color, font family, font size, text shadow, and other parameters for your background line.

Below, you can find some clarifications of the basic options:

• Text - Type in some text.
  
  You can use the following macros to insert additional elements into your text:
  
  
  • [divider] - adds a divider specified under "Divider";
  • [icon name=icon-name] - inserts an icon with specified class name. The icon here is from the Fontello icons set that comes with the theme. You can expand the list of available icons by adding new ones from the fontello website.
  • [image id=image-id] - adds an image with specified ID. You can find the ID for the image in your WordPress Media Library.
  Additional attributes for [image] and [icon]:
  
  size=NNpx|em|rem|%
  thumb=thumb-name (only for image)
  padding="top right bottom left"
  margin="top right bottom left"
  top | right | bottom | left=NNpx|em|rem|%
  style="any CSS rules"
  
  
• Background Type - Set a background color or gradient.
  
  
  • Text as Clipping Mask - if enabled allows you to output the image or color gradient as text color;
    
    Gradient: Image:
• Entrance effect - Choose appearance effect.
  
  
  • Slide - symbols appear one by one from left to right;
  • Rotate - symbols rotate one by one from top to bottom;
  
• Top offset and Left offset - Shift the text. The shift point is the top left corner of a section.
• Z-index - Raise the ticker above the content of the section, thus making it overlap content. Elements with a higher index will be placed on top of elements with a lower index.
• Marquee speed - Set the scrolling speed. If the option is set to 0, it means without scrolling.
• Pause on hover - Stop the scrolling line, when you hover over it (if "Z-index" of the background text (not the whole section) is larger than 0).
• Marquee margin - Set distance between line duplicates. The line is repeated for looped motion.
• Reverse movement - Make the text scroll in the opposite direction: for regular text - from right to left, for RTL text - from left to right.
• Overlay image and Overlay position - Place an image (.PNG) over a background text line to add a "texture" effect to it.

Elementor Templates Add-on

This extension enables support for downloadable block and page templates in Elementor, along with basic integration for theme colors and fonts in Site Settings > Global Colors/Fonts.

Attention! All templates in this library are designed for pages with "Fullscreen" content width (Page > Theme Options > Content > Body Style). If you use a different content width, adjust the page element margins accordingly.

To open ThemeREX Template library, open your page via the Elementor page builder and click on the Rex icon in the canvas.

In the popup window that opens, select a template category from the drop-down menu.

Locate the desired template and click the "Insert" button, which appears when you hover over the template preview.

Elementor Widgets Add-on

The Elementor Widgets Add-on expands theme functionality by providing a versatile set of fully customizable Elementor widgets for showcasing posts, testimonials, icons, info blocks, headers, and more. You can find them in the Elementor widgets panel under the "ThemeREX Addons Elements" group.

All these widgets are described in the "Elementor Widgets" section of this documentation file.

Example:

[metform form_id="2188"]

Please find the global back-end settings under the WP Dashboard menu > MetForm > Settings tab.

ThemeREX Updater

This is our self-made plugin that allows you to update the main theme as well as the bundled plugins through the WordPress admin panel. Once any plugins or theme updates are available for download, you will receive a corresponding notice in WP Dashboard > Updates. Please view the Theme Update chapter of this documentation file for more information.

Theme Translation

We recommend using Poedit software for translation-related purposes.

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

1. Download and install Poedit software.
2. Navigate to the elementra/skins/skin-name/languages/ folder and locate the .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 between 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 the ThemeREX Addons plugin, so some translation should be done in language files of this plugin 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 in 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.

For more information on how to use Poedit, please check the following resources:

Page Speed Optimization

This chapter is for those who would like to speed up their websites and care about the page loading speed. There are a lot of different ways to make your website work faster, but we will focus on caching plugins we have used in our demos, though they are not provided with the theme.

A lot of users access the website at the same time. This makes the server work slowly and takes more time to load the web page for each user. Caching is the way to store the current version of your web page on the server and prevent sending requests to the server for each user each time.

Below, you can find a short description of the caching plugins we have used in our demo. Please treat the screenshots with the main plugins settings as examples only! Feel free to play around with the plugins settings yourself to receive a better result.

WP-Optimize - Clean, Compress, Cache (not provided with the theme)

WP-Optimize is all-in-one WordPress performance plugin, that is responsible for cleaning your database, compressing images and caching your website.

Please check the links below for more information about this plugin:
