1. How to update the theme?

To update the theme please follow the steps below:

That's all!

To update the theme via FTP please follow the steps below:

All your settings made in the theme will be kept and not overwritten.

If you plan to modify the source code of the main parent theme, we strongly recommend to install child theme and make such modifications inside this child theme in order to avoid any possible problems & issues by installing updates of  the main parent theme in future.

2. Recommended Server Settings

In order to avoid any possible issues while Installing Demo Content because of your server and PHP settings, we highly recommend setting up the following values in your server’s php.ini file:

If you don’t have access to the PHP configuration on your server, you can try to set this values in .htaccess file:

You can verify your PHP configuration limits of your server by installing Host PHP Info plugin.

3. Purchase code has been used in another domain

In order to be able to install demo content and fully use the theme functionality, you will first have to activate the theme using the purchase code. If you already inserted the purchase code and you are getting the message: "Purchase code has been used in another domain" then you should submit a ticket in the support center or reach us via this contact form. Once the request is received your license will be reset and you will get confirmation about that. 

To avoid getting that message, you should first remove the license from the homepage of your admin dashboard in case of database reset or complete removal of your installation.
