XD Files & Images

IMPORTANT! We do not include theme-related .XD 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.

In order 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:

  5. Install and activate ThemeREX Addons plug-in.
  6. Enter your Purchase Code or Envato Elements Token and some personal information. Theme activation allows you to get access to plug-ins, demo content, skins, 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.
     
     In case you have downloaded the theme from Envato Elements, please view our guide to find out how to generate Envato Elements token. IMPORTANT! The number of theme activations (with purchase code/Envato Elements token) is LIMITED! For Envato Elements, if you want to activate another theme, please generate a new token (1 token = 1 domain). Anyway, you are allowed to activate your theme locally or on the dev server and then move the theme to the main domain. Please feel free to contact our support department if any issues arise.
  7. Make sure the required Advanced Theme Add-ons are active. You can find the description of each add-on here.

Attention! If you want to make changes in 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! In order to connect the license to a different domain, first click "Disconnect domain" (Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General) and then re-enter the purchase key/token on a different WordPress installation. For Envato Elements, if you want to activate another theme or install the same theme on a new domain, please generate a new token (1 token = 1 domain). If you have any questions, please contact our support department.

Attention! Before any manipulations that will require re-entering the purchase key/Elements token even on the same domain (e.g: WordPress reinstallation or cleaning the database), please FIRST disconnect the domain!

Plug-ins Installation

Below is the list of the plug-ins that come included into the theme (Default skin).
Some of these plug-ins can also be installed from the WordPress.org repository.

• AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages
• Advanced Popups
• AI Engine
• Contact Form 7
• Elegro Crypto Payment
• Elementor (required)
• GDPR Cookie Consent
• Kadence Blocks (free version)
• Limit Modified Date
• MailChimp for WordPress
• Powerkit
• Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed (formerly Instagram Feed)
• ThemeREX Addons (required)
• ThemeREX Pop-Up
• ThemeREX Updater
• WooCommerce
• WooCommerce Advanced Product Labels (free version)

PLEASE NOTE! Our theme is compatible with The GDPR Framework, Social Login (Discord, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) – WordPress plug-in, though it is not included into the theme's package. You can install it yourself if needed.

IMPORTANT! Following the closure of the Easy Forms for MailChimp plug-in on December 15, 2023, and its unavailability for over three months, we have substituted it with MC4WP: MailChimp for WordPress. Presently, the "Easy Forms for MailChimp" plug-in is active. Users who have downloaded this plug-in can continue utilizing it, as all styles remain functional. For new users, the theme now offers demo content solely for the "MC4WP" plug-in!

You can find a detailed overview of each plug-in in the Plug-ins section of this documentation file.

To make the theme look exactly as on the demo page, you would need to install the recommended plug-ins:

1. After the installation/activation of ThemeREX Addons plug-in and theme activation, you will see a prompt with a list of plug-ins to install. Click on the Begin installing plugins link or go to Appearance > Install Plugins.
   
   
2. Check the plug-ins 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 plug-ins. Go to Appearance > Install Plugins, check all the listed plug-ins, 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 plug-ins (e.g. ThemeREX Addons, Elementor) and disable the rest. Otherwise, it may significantly increase the memory consumption, which might lead to unwanted issues.

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

Gutenberg Compatibility

Our theme is compatible with 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 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 tuber-child.zip file in the theme package and upload it via the WordPress admin panel. Alternatively, you can unzip it and upload 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 or Envato Elements token in the WP Dashboard > Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General tab) and installed all the required plug-ins. Check the Plug-ins installation section for more information about the required plug-ins.

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 generate Envato Elements token, follow the link from your WP admin panel. Please view this guide for more information.

IMPORTANT! Our theme supports RTL text direction (compatibility, without rtl-demo content)! Please FIRST choose the correct language in your WordPress settings (Dashboard > Settings > General > Site Language), then proceed with the demo data installation.

Our theme contains rtl styles. The page content should be manually adjusted for RTL text-direction using Elementor settings (e.g. changing the alignment of icons, etc).

In order 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 the 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 plug-in settings.

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

In case 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. The archive should be unzipped. Then create demo/ folder in wp-content/themes/tuber directory and copy /skin_name folder to wp-content/themes/tuber/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.

We recommend you to create alternative custom header and footer layouts for mobile devices (without any hidden elements for other screen resolutions), as these hidden elements still take time while loading your website.

Header-related settings

These settings allow selecting header style and position. For custom header style you can specify the header layout, that is available for customizing in WP Dashboard > Layouts.

The Header position setting controls the way your header behaves in regards to the main body area.

• Inherit - the value is inherited from the Appearance > Customize > Header section.
• Default - 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.
• Under - sets the header area stuck behind the content area when scrolling down the page.

Footer-related settings

These settings allow selecting a footer style. The Inherit option inherits the value specified in the Appearance > Customize > Footer section. For "Default" footer style you can also specify widgets sets and columns quantity. For "Custom" footer style "Select custom layout" option is available. You can manage these footer layouts in the WP Dashboard > Layouts tab.

Menus

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.
• Footer Menu - displays the menu in the footer area.
• AMP Menu - displays the menu on mobile devices. This menu location requires the MP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages plug-in to be active.
• AMP Footer Menu - displays the menu in the footer area on mobile devices. This menu location requires the MP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages plug-in to be active.

Predefined Menu sets:

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

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

IMPORTANT! 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 Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > General section.

By default our theme supports 2 widget areas:

• Sidebar
• Footer

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

But in order to see them on your website, you need to make sure you have a particular widget set assigned to a particular default widget area. You can assign widget 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!
In order to manage custom sidebar or custom footer styles, proceed to Dashboard > Layouts tab and update the corresponding sidebar/footer layout.

Widget Sets Assignment for the Whole Site

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

Footer widgets are available for managing in 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 > Layouts.

Widget Sets Assignment for a Specific Page

If you want to specify a widget 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 for that particular page.

Customizing Widget 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 a different kind of widgets sets included to a particular page. The same can be done through Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Widgets.

Below are options responsible for managing widgets/blocks.

• Add a Widget (for Classic Widgets Editor) or Add a Block (for New Block Widgets Editor): just click on "Add a Widget/Block" button to see the available widgets, then choose the one you want to use: Click on the block itself to open its settings (for New Block Widgets Editor):
• Reorder the position of widgets using three icons:
  
  
  • Move - moves the widget to another sidebar.
  • Down - moves the widget down.
  • Up - moves the widget upwards.

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

See the example of how the Sidebar Widgets Set may look like ("Default" sidebar style):

Custom Widgets

Moreover, our theme provides a few Custom Widgets that are available in Appearance > Widgets section (for New Block Widgets Editor - under "Widgets" group).

• ThemeREX About Me: Displays a photo and description of the website's owner or any other person. If you leave the options empty they will inherit data from the following options on the admin's profile page: "Profile Picture" (for photo), "Username" (for name) and "Biographical Info" (for description). You can hide any option by inserting # sign in the corresponding field in the widget's settings.
• ThemeREX Audio Player: Shows an audio player to play an audio file uploaded locally (from your Media library) or an external one (through embed html code). The system ignores the "Audio caption" and "Author name" options, if the embed code is used.
• ThemeREX Banner: Displays a regular banner image linked or not as well as any object inserted using html code (banner, iFrame for video, audio, etc.).
• ThemeREX Blogger: Shows posts, pages or custom post types from a specified category or group. By default, the widget outputs single posts.

  Alternatively, you can use photos from Instagram without connecting to your account: by using a hashtag #... or by specifying an Instagram username (WITHOUT a hash symbol).
• ThemeREX Layouts: Displays already built custom layout from the Layouts (WP Dashboard) > All Layouts menu.
• ThemeREX Posts by Rating: Displays the most rated posts with images and post meta.

• ThemeREX WooCommerce Title: Displays a page title, breadcrumbs and a description of a products category on shop-related pages (shop list pages and single products). This widget works if a header layout does NOT contain the page title and breadcrumbs. The description inherits content from the back-end settings of a definite products category. The description becomes visible on product category pages ONLY! This widget requires the WooCommerce plug-in to be active.

PLEASE NOTE! Please be aware that this theme does not provide any examples of custom sidebar layouts. Feel free to create your own ones, using a user-friendly Elementor. Check the Layouts section for more information.

Check this article or video tutorial for more information on how to add new Google Fonts and Custom Fonts.

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

Colors

The theme allows you to assign color schemes to specific parts of your website. This is useful for highlighting certain areas and giving them a distinctive look.

The theme supports 2 color schemes - default (light) and dark.

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.

Here are the website parts to which you can assign color schemes:

• Show Helpers - enables a colored border arround a block in the Customizer with an element's name and color scheme applied to this particular element. The helper can be useful for editing the theme's color schemes. It helps you understand the colors of what elements you are customizing.
• Site Color Scheme - defines the main color scheme of your website. If no other part of website has a color scheme specified explicitly, affects the whole website. Otherwise, affects the body background color, body typography and pretty much anything that is located below the header and above the footer areas (except sidebar).
• Header Color Scheme - modifies the color scheme of the header.
• Sidebar Color Scheme - affects the color of the sidebar. The Inherit option inherits the value specified in the Site Color Scheme setting.
• Footer Color Scheme - specifies the color of your footer.
• Shop Footer Color Scheme - specifies the color of your footer on shop-related pages.
• Color scheme switcher - adds a button with a color scheme switcher to the right bottom corner of the page.
• Invert logo - inverts logo colors for the dark scheme (works only with the frontend color scheme switcher).

IMPORTANT! The color scheme switcher works only if the colors are set through the theme styles (are inherited from Appearance > Customize > Colors settings) and NOT through a page builder.

Additional CSS class .alter_bg makes the background color for the section inherit the value from "Alter > Background color" option in Appearance > Customize > Colors > your color scheme.

You can also assign color schemes for individual pages in the Theme Options > Colors panel of those pages.

Color Scheme Editor

Here you can customize the color schemes of your website.

Three additional buttons are available:

• Reset - removes the current changes, made after your last saving.
• Copy - creates a new color scheme by duplicating the default one. Thus, it is possible to set different color schemes for particular pages and their parts.
• Delete - removes the current color scheme. You can delete only newly created color schemes. All default ones will remain.

Select the color scheme you want to customize and choose one of 2 modes (editor types) - simple or advanced.

In a simple mode, you can customize the accent colors (link colors) of a theme. If you want to dig deeper, switch to the advanced mode. You can entirely change the theme colors.

Both modes contain the following groups of settings:

MAIN

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

• Background color - the main background color of a website; (for advanced mode only)
• Border color - color used for elements with a border and for content delimiters; (for advanced mode only)
• Border hover - hover color used for elements with a border and for content delimiters; (for advanced mode only)
• Text - color for the main body text; (for advanced mode only)
• Text dark - color mainly applied for headings and page/post titles; (for advanced mode only)
• Text light - color used for additional meta elements, such as post author, date, comments, etc. (for advanced mode only)
• Link - the main accent color of a website. The color can be used as links color, a background color for buttons and the color for minor elements, like list item markers, etc. By default, this setting sets the Link hover color for the Alter color group.
• Link hover - the hover color of the elements with the main accent color and the hover color for links. It can also be used as the main accent color for the Alter color group.
• Accent 2 - the second accent color;
• Accent 2 hover - the hover color of the elements with second accent colors;
• Accent 3 - the third accent color;
• Accent 3 hover - the hover color of the elements with third accent colors;

ALTER

Alter means alternative color group, mostly applied for sidebar and footer, if a color scheme is assigned to them and it coincides with the site color scheme (NOT inherited). This group of colors can also be applied to page widgets or 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, plus two additional hover colors for border and background.

EXTRA

An additional color group for extra elements such as dropdowns, price blocks, table headers, blockquotes, etc.
As a rule, the text and background colors from the Extra group should contrast against the respective colors from the Main color group.

INVERSE (for advanced mode only)

Inverse elements are the elements that use the theme accent color (usually the main one) ("Link", "Accent 2", "Accent 3" options) as a background color. In this way, they get distinctive look and stand out from the rest of the content. You can apply these settings for buttons, blockquotes, dropdowns, etc.

• Border color;
• Border hover;
• Text color - the main body text color;
• Text dark - used for headings or other elements that need a darker color;
• Text light - used for meta elements that provide additional information;
• Link color - since the main accent color (i.e. the link color) sets the background color, you need to specify a different link color;
• Link hover - the hover color of the link;

INPUT (for advanced mode only)

Colors for form fields: input fields, text areas, select fields, etc.

• Background - background color of an input field;
• Background hover - background color when an input field is active;
• Border color;
• Border hover - border color when a field is active;
• Text - a regular text color;
• Text dark - the color of the text when a field is active (as you type in);
• Text light - used for the placeholder text when a field is not active, before you type in;

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.

Additional CSS

Settings of this group allow you to specify additional custom styles.

Homepages

This section covers the information about Pages in 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

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.

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 Theme Options panel (Content/Header/Footer/Colors). 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 the Preferences > Panels in the top right corner of the WordPress admin.

Assigning a Page as a Homepage

Once you finished with building your page, assign it as a Homepage:

1. Navigate to Settings > Reading menu item in the WordPress dashboard menu.

3. Save the changes.

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

PLEASE NOTE! Default skin comes with the following Homepages.

Home 1

Below you can find the screenshots of "Homepage 1" front-end with hotspots describing where you can customize content for a particular section and the "Theme Options" settings.

In case you don't want to use a color scheme switcher on your website, you can set or manage the background color/image for the page blocks in the Edit Section/Column > Style > Background tabs in the Elementor widgets panel.

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

• "Shift block" options - change 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 shift accordingly.

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

The main custom CSS classes used in the theme are described in the Custom CSS Classes chapter of this documentation file.

About Page

Here we will describe you how the team section is created. The images and the names of the team members on our demo are for example only! You will get the placeholders and default names, like "User 1", "User 2", in the theme package.

This section displays available users from Users (WP Dashboard) and requires the Powerkit plug-in to be active, "Author Box" module.

The "Author Box" module adds an "Author" widget to the Elementor widgets panel. You can configure the widget options to your needs.

The users' photos on our demo are added using a third-party plug-in, ProfilePress, which is not provided with the theme.

Custom CSS Classes

PLEASE NOTE! We have used additional CSS classes to make the page blocks look like on our demo.

• .plainAnimation - animates an image (for default Elementor "Image" widget). Please see pre-built footer layouts for more information.
• .elementor-sidebar - stylizes a column with a sidebar, like on Homepage, Podcasts skin.
• .link_hover_1 - the color of the link hover is inherited from "Main > Text dark" option in Appearance > Customize > Colors (for default Elementor "Heading" widget). Please see Homepage (Podcasts skin) for more information. Since the color scheme of the main section is set to dark, the link hover is white:

Layouts

Introduction to Layouts

Layouts 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 plug-in. After the activation, a new menu item appears in your WordPress admin panel.

Your theme comes with a number of pre-built Layouts. If you've imported the full content, they 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

In order to create a layout, navigate to Layouts (WP Dashboard) > Add New.

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

Please check this article for detailed information regarding layouts customization.
You can also view our video tutorials about header and footer layouts customization.

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 appears in the list of 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 custom dropdown menu without installing Uber Menu/Mega Menu plug-ins. You can apply the submenu layout in the Appearance > Menus > Layout of submenu (optional) field.
   "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 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/Mobile/Blog/Shop sections or in page > Theme Options > Content > Sidebar style > Custom.
5. Blog - custom style or template to output the Blog Stream page or posts elements in Elementor "Blogger" widget, thus creating a blog stream page or page blocks with unique overall look. Use it in combination with Blog Item Parts widget, that lets you insert any post parts (featured image, title, meta data, content, custom fields) to page in any combination and in any quantity.
6. Custom - the standard layout fragment that can be added into a web page using an 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.

In order to add a custom Layout to a web page:

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

Blog Layout is just a scheme showing the position of post elements like featured image, post title, meta data, excerpt, etc. Use Blog Item Parts widget to output each element, like in the example below.

You can apply the blog layouts to:

• Blog Stream Page - create a page, choose "Blog Archive" template and in the Theme Options > Content > Blog style option find your blog layout. Treat the screenshot below just as an example.
• Blogger Widget - open a page/post, in the Elementor widget panel navigate to "ThemeREX Addons Elements group" and insert Blogger widget to the content area.

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 backend editor). Scroll down to view the available templates:

Creating a Mobile Header in Layouts

Layouts 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 in order to use Layouts more efficiently. Please see the official elementor video tutorial or article for more information.

We recommend you to create separate custom header layout for mobile devices and specify it in the Appearance > Customize > Mobile section. This will improve the website 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: Blog Item Parts

Inserts any post parts (featured image, title, meta data, content, custom fields) to your custom page fragment. This widget outputs 1 post part at a time. If you want to create a page block with unique structure, just use as many "Blog Item Parts" widgets as you need and output post parts in any combination and in any quantity.

Layouts: Cart

Displays a shopping cart icon (in case the WooCommerce plug-in is active). When clicked, the icon triggers a window with additional shopping details.

For narrow and normal row types, the cart displays the number of products in the cart, the sum total, and an icon label. The compact row type has a shopping cart with a product counter badge only.

Layouts: Featured Image

Should be used for headers only. Displays a featured image of the current post/page. Often used in combination with the Title and Breadcrumbs widget.

The widget has to contain at least one element, otherwise the featured image would be hidden.

Layouts: Iconed Text

Inserts an icon and two text lines. It is possible to add a URL to the icon.

Layouts

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

• Default - displays one of the custom layouts available in WP Dashboard > Layouts 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 the 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 Page Builder section to the page. In the left panel with elementor elements open "ThemeREX Addons Layouts" group, drag and drop the Layouts widget from the panel into your section. 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: Login

Displays a login/logout link with an icon.

The text for the checkbox "I agree..." (registration form) is set in Appearance > Customize > General > 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 the registration form without consent checkbox, just leave the "Text with Privacy Policy link" option empty in the Appearance > Customize > General section!

The background image for the login/registration form is located in /tuber/skins/skin_name/images/login_bg.jpg.

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 the new logo by going to Layouts > All Layouts.
2. Locate the Elementor Layouts: Logo widget (ThemeREX Addons Layouts group) and click on the Edit button.
3. Upload a new logo in the panel > Content tab and save the changes.

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

The Layout parameter allows selecting the Menu Layout:

• Default - standard menu with links.

Direction of the menu items: Horizontal or Vertical.

Specify 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.

Layouts: Single Post Meta

Displays elements from meta data of the current post (categories, post author, post date, post counters, share links, edit link).

Layouts: Search

Adds a search button/input field. There are 3 styles available:

• Normal - a standard search field.
• Expand - displays a search button that expands a search field on click.
• Fullscreen - displays a search button that expands the search field to the entire screen.

Layouts: Title

Displays a title and breadcrumbs of the currently opened page/post.

Elementor Section Settings

Layouts have an extended number of settings for Section, default Elementor element.

Choose which section you want to edit, click on the Edit Section button and go to the panel > Edit Section > Custom Layout.

• Row type - defines a row type. It accepts the following values:
  
  
  • Inherit - a default row with no layout-specific styles applied.
  • Narrow - the smallest type of row. The Elementor widgets feature a small font size and small icons. The Layouts: Iconed Text widget places text in 1 line (even for two-line option).
  • Compact - a smaller variation of the normal row type. The Elementor widgets have a standard font size and small icons. The Iconed Text widget puts text in 1 line (even for the two-line option).
  • Normal - a row of a normal height. The Elementor widgets inserted into this type of row have a standard font size, and medium-sized icons. The Layouts: Iconed Text widget features text divided into 2 lines.
• Delimiter - adds a border to the row's bottom.
• Fix this row when scroll - 'fixes' the row to the top of the page (or to the last 'fixed row'). Useful for creating sticky navigation.
  To avoid "Sticky Menu" behavior select "Don't fix" option.
  
  
  • Delay before fix this row - the row goes beyond the edge of the window, then "returns" animatedly and sticks.
  • Hide this row on unfix - hides the row until scrolling down.
• Hide on the Frontpage - hides the row on the page assigned as the Homepage (Frontpage) in Settings > Reading. In case the Blog Feed page is assigned as the Homepage, the row stays visible.
• Hide on single posts and pages - hides the row on single pages and posts.
• Hide on other pages - hides the row on pages that are not single ones (other than is_singular()).

ThemeREX Addons

As a free addition to this theme, we have included a unique ThemeREX Addons plug-in. Once activated, it allows expanding the options of the theme noticeably. These addons allow you to use custom widget sets and custom Elementor widgets, show custom post types, set links to your social profiles as well as some advanced theme-specific settings.

After plug-in's installation, the "ThemeREX Addons" menu item should appear in the "Theme Panel" 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.

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 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).
  If "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 plug-in, like regenerate thumbnails, after switching this option.
• 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.
  
  
• Animate inner links - This setting adds "smooth scroll" effect to the inner page links.
• 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.

Preloader

• Show page preloader - Select or upload page preloader image for your site.
  
  
  • Page preloader bg color - Specify background color for the page preloader. If empty - no preloader is used.
  • Page preloader image - Select or upload page preloader image. If empty - no preloader is used. This option is available for "Custom" preloader style only.

Scroll helpers

• Progress bar of reading the article - Enable/disable the progress bar of reading the article.
• Add "Scroll to Top" - Add "Scroll to Top" button when page is scrolled.
• Hide fixed rows - Hide fixed rows when the page is scrolled down and show them on scroll up.
• Enable smooth scroll - Allow smooth scrolling of site pages with the mouse wheel.

Menu

• Collapse menu - Whether you need to group menu items or not, if they don't fit in one line.
• Icon - Select icon of the menu item with collapsed elements.
• Stretch a submenu with layouts - Stretch a submenu with layouts (only the first level) to content width.
• Breadcrumbs nestings - Specify the necessary nesting level for breadcrumbs.

Search enchance

• Search for terms - if enabled, makes standard WordPress search, Elementor "Layouts: Search" widget (for pages) and "ThemeREX Products Filter" widget (for sidebars) support search keywords among all registered taxonomies (categories, tags, product attributes, etc.). The taxonomy searches will significantly slow down the results page.

Performance

Settings of this tab allow you to improve page loading speed.

Performance Settings

  • No - Load all CSS and JS files (optimization disabled);

• Disable Emoji - Remove Emojis scripts and styles if you don't use them.
• Move styles to the head - This is a W3C validation setting. It captures page's output and moves all the "style" tags from the body into the head. We suggest leaving it intact.
• Move javascripts to the footer - This setting moves all tags "script" to the footer to increase page loading speed.
• Exclude javascripts from moving to the footer - Specify the url fragments of the scripts you want to exclude from moving to the footer (if there are any problems with them). The system scripts (jquery, modernizr, elementor, etc.) are included into this list by default.

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.

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 (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) to which the "background text" functionality you would like to apply, and proceed to Edit Section > 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:

• 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.
• 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;
  
• 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" 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.

Theme Translation

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/skins/skin_name/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.

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

Page Speed Optimization

This chapter is for those who whould 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 plug-ins we have used on 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 from sending requests to the server for each user each time.

Below you can find short description of the caching plug-ins we have used on our demo as well as their main settings. Please feel free to play around with the plug-in's settings yourself in order to receive the better result.

PLEASE NOTE! There is no unique recommended configuration of the plug-in's settings, suitable for every website. The same settings can work differently on different websites. By default, some settings may be activated or disabled, depending on your individual WordPress setup and hosting.
